Article 1 of the US Constitution gives the Congress, not the President, the right to declare war. And the War Powers Act specifies that the President may not continue a war without Congressional authorization. Saddam is dead. There never were any WMDs or ties to Al Qaeda. The basis for the 2002 war authorization is gone.
If Congress passes a resolution de-authorizing the war, the President has no legal authority to continue. De-authorization cannot be vetoed, and it would legally require Bush to begin bringing the troops home.
The time for waiting is over. People are dying every day. We cannot wait until this fall to start bringing our troops home. If Congress doesn't act before they leave for the summer, the only thing that will change between now and the end of the year is the body count.
Congress has a public mandate and the Constitutional authority to end this war.

LETS GO AMERICA WE OWE THIS TO OUR TROOPS DIEING FOR NOTHING BUT THE PRESIDENTS AND MR VP'S PLEASURE, AND PROFITS.....

WRITE YOUR REPRESENTATIVE: FORTHE PEOPL1 IS RIGHT, RIGHT, RIGHT, WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING OTHER THAN RAIL AT PEOPLE WHO DISAGREE WITH US (NO MATTER HOW MUCH FUN IT IS). WE MUST WRITE OUR REPRESENTATIVES AND TELL THEM WE KNOW WHAT THEY CAN DO (FORTHEPEOPL1 WON'T MIND IF YOU USE HIS POST). EVEN IF YOU HAVE REPRESENTATIVES WHO DO NOT AGREE ~ WRITE THEM AND THEN WRITE THEM AGAIN. MORE ARE WAVERING EVERY DAY.

superdem: Do you know about the 170,000 Americans who have died since we invaded Iraq? The ones killed in their cars in the USA? 3,600 dead troops is a small price to pay to free a country. I find it extremely offensive that you only care about American soilders and not civilians too. I wonder if your politics are blinding you to all the facts.

I truly do not understand this post. I don't understand the analogy? I don't understand how Americans killed in car accidents is comparable to 3600 soldiers killed in Iraq? I don't understand how 3600 Americans is a small price to pay for a war for profit and getting the civilians killed in the process? I don't understand how caring about the soldiers is equated with not caring about the civilians. Exactly, what are the facts?

Listen to the Generals on the ground huh bull, and Keane being and advisor to Petraeus, another neo con poodle, this negates any creditability the General did not have. We need to recall the fired Generals who told Rumsfield to shove it. Just confirms what we knew, that Bush can not bring himself to admit his failings and lies always for the Examiner
When it comes to the troop surge in Iraq, a bunch of arm chair generals in Washington are influencing the Bush Administration as much as the Joint Chiefs ....A group of military experts at the American Enterprise Institute, concerned that the U.S. was on the verge of a calamitous failure in Iraq, almost single handedly convinced the White House to change its strategy.
AEI brags an impressive roster of neo-con thinkers. Former Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz, an Iraq war architect, arrived at AIE this summer, joining such prominent conservatives as John Bolton, David Frum and Michael Ledeen.
We all With its plan in place, the AEI Iraq team is not sitting still. Keane is an adviser to Army Gen. David Petraeus, the top U.S. commander in Iraq. He has inspected war conditions on two visits. Kagan left for Iraq this week.

We all know what losers this crowd disgraced Wolfowitz Iraq will cost 50 Million not the 2 trillion it is costing, and John Bolton of all people%u2026%u2026%u2026%u2026vomit are soldiers are dying based on these fools plan.

One of the stupidest things anyone has said in these forums. Cars are necessary for most of us to live our lives, get to work, etc. The Iraq war was not necessary.

A small price for you maybe. But if you are one of the 3600, oir their families, then not such a small price to pay.

Poor singinrick did they jihad against your jihad? Poor poor singinrick they just don't seem to understand your intentions are good and righteous. You kill their families so that they can be free and so that they can know Jesus' love.

And to republicans this is a sign of a successful "surge"? Still I doubt it will do any good to keep asking the Pentagon what our exit plan is, because Bush never plans on leaving Iraq and never did. No one really thought those permanent bases were ever going to be turned over to the Iraqi's did they? How do think they intend to keep a weapon aimed at the oil supply for their buddies in the oil industry? All this invasion was ever really about was securing an oil supply for big oil companies to use to gouge the American and western consumers. It was a war for profit. The oil companies profit, plus the bribes and kickbacks into Bush and Cheney's Dubai bank accounts of course. They're all getting rich and all it's cost America is the blood of our troops and nearly a trillion dollars. Bend over America, you've been Bushed, right up the as*s!

the first black irish to be elected president,
o'bama will lead us forward into the dark
ages. what scenarios will he face? how many
poles does it take to run a planet? was
he a good pole vaulter? javelin thrower?
can he run fast? everyone knows everybody
from chicago is irish. the famed o'leary
the cow, made famous by st. anthony's fire
and timothy leary who loved ergot rye bread.
the great chicago fire contributed to global
warming. its rather cold up there. finally
it was warm enuff to go outside. smokers
really filled up the rooms, then, so that
breathing could be an elective. but there's
always someone who wants to sleep with
the windows open.
