Ping to a reminder of the specific wording of the authorization for the ENTIRE "War on Terror"....not just the Iraqi campaign.

The links between Al Qaeda and Saddam seem MORE than enough to justify the President's actions against Iraq.

The highlighted section above constitutes an extremely broad authorization.

Thanks for the important reminder.

All the dimwit talking heads are using the same lawyerly double-speak -- "no compelling evidence."

There's plenty of clear-cut evidence, just not compelling enough.

Who decides what's "compelling?"
