You started the smart ass comments.....just giving them back.

So the war with Islamic radicalism is real, with real enemies?

I think you said yes.

Then you changed the subject to something.......

The President has defined our enemy, and it is not Pakistan, it is the Islamic radicals aligned with al Queda, you know, the group that brought down the twin towers, killing about 3000 US citizens.....you know....that group!

And yes, we better do what is necessary to kill and defeat these people, until they can no longer hurt us, we will have to be at war until we win, or they win. This ain't 1984 kid, it's actually a real war, against real, evil people that do very real, evil things.

And there's the problem. The idea of giving Congress power to declare war means that Congress defines the enemy, not the President. Otherwise there isn't much point in giving Congress that power, is there?

"it is not Pakistan, it is the Islamic radicals aligned with al Queda"

Why do you believe there is a distinction here?

No, I didn't say 'yes' to the statement you made, I said 'yes' to the question you previously asked. Why do you know feel the need to morph it?
