(CBS/AP)  Fed up that Washington hasn't done more to end the war, a group of Vermont lawmakers said this week that the president no longer has the authority to use Guard troops in Iraq.

State Rep. Michael Fisher said the authority to call up Guard members for Iraq duty has expired because that country no longer poses a threat to U.S. national security.

"The mission authorized in 2002 does not exist," said Fisher. "Unless Congress grants a new authorization, the Vermont Guard should revert back to state control."

Fisher introduced a bill Wednesday, backed by 30 colleagues, that called on Gov. Jim Douglas to join the effort.

"Most of us standing here, maybe all of us, have made objections in the past about the morality or wisdom of this war. Today we are limiting ourselves to one vital principle: the rule of law," Fisher said.

"Questions about whether the war is going well or the surge is going well should be left for other days. We have a special interest in the welfare of the Vermont National Guard," said Fisher.

Senate President Pro Tem Peter Shumlin said the Senate would take up similar legislation.

"Bottom line is, if the politicians in Washington aren't going to do the right thing for our troops, let's do the right thing by bringing our Vermont Guard members home," he said.

"If Vermont can make one small step forward, I believe others will follow," Shumlin said.

Several other states, including Maine, Minnesota, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island are looking at similar legislation.

There are currently 25 Vermont guard members in Iraq, but the bill would also prevent future deployments of the state's Guard members to Iraq.

A spokesman for Gov. Jim Douglas said Douglas can't stop the use of Guard troops in the war.

Quote

"The mission authorized in 2002 does not exist. Unless Congress grants a new authorization, the Vermont Guard should revert back to state control.

State Rep. Michael Fisher
"It's clear that's there's no legal basis for stopping the federalization of the National Guard when Congress has authorized and continues to fund a war," said Douglas' spokesman Jason Gibbs. "The bottom line is, this a federal issue."

He said Douglas would rather see Congress develop an exit strategy to bring the troops home as soon as possible.

Maj. Gen. Michael Dubie, head of the Vermont National Guard, refused to comment until he could read the bill.

Shortly after the bill was introduced in the Vermont legislature, a commission on the Army National Guard and Reserves issued a report saying that, in part because of the deployments of guard members and equipment overseas and insufficient training, the U.S. military is ill-prepared to handle a catastrophic event (such as a biological or nuclear attack) within the U.S. homeland.

I deeply, deeply applaud the Vermont lawmakers.

The people of this country are not going to find closure on the lies, manipulation, and illegalities of this administration until they are brought to account - all of them.

The Democrats are wrong to take impeachment off the table - the country NEEDS it, the WORLD needs it in order to regain their respect again - I don''t care how close we are to the end of this regime.

Hurrah for Vermont!! Maybe they shall be the mouse that roared, inspiring other states to begin the process of bringing our people home. I agree with the one poster who stated "let the oil companies put in their own troops" aka Blackwater. Our people on the front lines and the Iraqi citizens have paid the price. Our governments horrible treatment of not only our vets coming home, but also the way they treated the Iraqis who were brave enough to work with the US, more media light should be shed upon these atrocities. Of course, that would require editors to retrieve their testicles from under the bed and stop fawning over this miserable Bush Admn. Way to go Vermont!!

Cut and run? Isn''t that phrase sorta worn out? If there is any reality to the concept of cut and run at this time in the nation''s history, it is to describe the folks who have fled reality, military and political.

Of course, they are PX commandos who would rather use someone else''s son or daughter rather than themselves to kill jihadists for Christ.

Vermont has lost more guard troops per capita than any other state. We know how to contribute to the freedom of our country, and have always served proudly for our country. This isn''t about our freedom, and I support my legislator and am proud that Vermont is trying to take our citizen soldiers out of an illegal war. I will not have the sacrifices made by my family be disregarded because we, in Vermont, are trying to do something about these awful policies and protect our people. My great uncle''s life was sacrificed for our freedom and he was a proud yankee.

On behalf of all enlightened Southerners who understand that our military is being used to support U.S. investments around the world and extend our empire rather than to defend our borders, I salute Vermont''s state legislature and wish that Tennessee''s would get a freaking clue. Thank you, Vermont, for having the courage to do the right thing in the face of ugly taunts from the unwashed and ignorant masses.

John F. Kennedy was into unconventional methods like assassination.

He discovered, in Dallas, Texas, that more than one can play that game.

It is now illegal for American Presidents to practice that method.

You wanna lay blame for the war somewhere, lay it on both parties. And most recently, on the Dems, who control Congress and other then whining and complaining, have passed every vote to continue the war. And it will be status quo when the elections are over. No one is gonna change a thing. It will be inept leadership all over again.

the southern states are considering drafting rush limbaugh to be the republican candidate.

We have moved beyond duality. The two hemispheres of the brain are incapable of acting in wisdom without the unifying guidance of the heart. The old polarity consciousness has ended. The ideas of us vs them, in any context, or of me vs you have been replaced, dissolved, into the cosmic unity of live. The heart reemerges with the power of love to balance the human mind. Within this sacred triangle the center of peace is ignited. The relationship of unity, of all beings, is formed and begins it''s rotation in beauty and power.

vermont prefers to live in slavery under retarded radical fascist nazi terrorislamic jihadist slavers and murderers

Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery?

It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace--but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death! March 23, 1775 Patrick Henry

USA''s PLEDGE 2 THE WORLD GIVEN BY JFK!!

"Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty." - John F. Kennedy, Inaugural Address, Jan. 20, 1961

One ought never to turn one''s back on a threatened danger and try to run away from it. If you do that, you will double the danger. But if you meet it promptly and without flinching, you will reduce the danger by half. Winston Churchill

Why shouldn''t we help Arabs in the destruction of Israel to enjoy OIL in cheaper prices?

Vermont (vomit) is a nutty state .. give them back thier National Guard and then stop Federal payments .. lets see how the broke vermintins like that?

Interesting how folks seem to have a misunderstanding on how the US government works ..

CONGRESS is the legislative body that makes laws & spends money .. NOT the PRSDIDENT .... so I would ask anyone here to explain to me how Obama, Hillary or any other pol espousing that moniker will CHANGE this country?

CHANGE is a lovely buzzword .. but it aint gonna happen with these two hacks .. or any others who are currently in politics ..

Implement term limits and then force pols to avoid the lobby business for 10 years after they have left office ..... and we stop the payoffs that still happen even though the pelosi and all the oter hacks yak about ethics ..

There are no ethical people in politics .. they are power hungry egotistical idiot who care only about themsleves and lining their families pockets ..

Miss Jeanine Garofalo warned before Iraq invasion;

"If United States sends her troops in the middle of Arabia, United Sttaes will be doomed. Name of the guy who attacked us on 9/11 is Osama bin laden, not Saddam Hussain".

I respectfully disagree with Miss Rosie O'' Donnel who said;
" Radical Christianity is as dangerous as Radical Islam".

I personally believe that Radical Christianity is a lot worse then Radical Islam as it''s the MOTHER OF ALL EVILS.

If Europeans were not brought into Palestine after WWII to occupy the land of those Palestinians by force, who had nothing to do with the actions of Hitler, because Bible said so, Alqaeda would not get enough recruits to fly planes into buildings since Koran says so.

Another example of Christian Family values, after Larry Craig and Foley Scandal;

MILWAUKEE -- A Roman Catholic nun who pleaded no contest to sexually abusing two Milwaukee boys years ago will spend a year in jail. A judge sentenced Sister Norma Giannini, 79, to one year in jail and nine more years on probation She has 60 days to report to the House of Correction in Milwaukee County.Giannini has admitted to a church panel that she also molested a Chicago boy and at least three other minors.
Court documents show that a psychologist told prosecutors in 2006 that Giannini identified other victims to a Milwaukee archdiocese panel, according to a report in the Chicago Tribune. Prosecutors subpoenaed the psychologist, Elizabeth Piasecki, who read into the record the notes she wrote during an interview in 1996 after abuse allegations emerged.
The notes indicate Giannini discussed molesting three other boys in Milwaukee and one in Chicago, where she worked before and after her stint in Wisconsin.
According to a transcript, Piasecki''s notes indicated Giannini described an incident with a 14-year-old that included kissing and petting.

If anyone is waiting for Bush to clean up his own mess, Hell will be froze over. It''s high time for the states to pull out the National Gaurd. Think about the name "National Gaurd". It says it all in the name. Its pathetic that it will have to be done state by state because we have a spineless piece of *** warmongerfor a president. In my opinion he was using this war to stimulate an economy that he has ****** up along with his other cohorts. Do you seriously think he gives a rats *** how many die from his mistakes. Has our military presence slowed the suicide bombings? Have they even came close to stopping the insurgents. Have the decent Iraqi people(non terrorists) gotten a better quality of life. NO!!
These people have been fighting each other since two camels ****** and it will continue long after our military presence is gone.
Everyone wants lower taxes and more $$$ in their own pockets, but as long as this *** idiot is in office and fueling his war machine at the expense of the American citizens, lives will be lost and everyone will be so poor these little pissant 3rd world countries will be way better off than the good old USA.

As far as what VT is doing, iI say HELL YEAH!!! I support their thought.

If you really care about terrorism, why do you support Bush in giving our TAX DOLLARS in the name of REBUILDING IRAQ and our WEAPONS in the name of ARMING IRAQI SECURITY FORCES to an IRANIAN BASED ISLAMIC RADICAL "MALIKI" for the killing of our finest men and women in uniform?

Why do you support CHENEY in transferring the HEAD OFFICE and CEO of HALLIBURTON to DUBAI, UAE (A country whose Royal family members were having lunch with OSAMA BEEN FORGOTTEN when SIR CLINTON planned to execute him).

The Great Emperor Bush II is UNMOVED by attempts by Vermont to have its National Guard return home.

The Great Emperor Bush II does not care if Iraq was, is, or ever will be a threat to the national security of the US(SA). All the Great Emperor wants is that the troops stay there, OFFICIALLY to
fight "terrrrrrrrorists" there, not here, but in reality to protect vital US(SA) interests in the region which is why he is building PERMANENT military bases there (against the will of Congress, but what do they know!). That they will also be protecting BIG OIL interests there is beside the point!

After all, the Great Emperor has the "support" of all the stupidly-loyal neocon Fascist Rupublicans in government and the 25-30% of Fascist citizens out there who believe the Great Emperor is 2nd coming of Christ and has the ability to raise the dead!

SIG HEIL, BUSH!!!!!
