"The Congress authorized the president to take out anyone he wanted provided they had some kind of link, even if only aiding or abetting, to Al Qaeda.

They specifically left it up to the President to make that call.

Joint Resolution of 18 Sep 01."

Agreed. Congress put that trust in the President.

And thank god there were some in DC unwilling to depend entirely on the predictability of a madman and sons, their billions for WMD/capabilities, the M.O. to use them, their admitted financing of the Islamic cults, their bribery of the UN to lift sanctions, their defiance of the surrender agreement, and threats against troops fighting the WOT in the region.

As far as links, suspicions, proof, ect, they were oft stated for a decade by those who oppose the President now. Who knows what will be discovered, admitted to, and proved once the war against this President is over.

But the immoral policy of containment that consigned millions to tyranny for a generation is now over, and a civilized nation has a chance to sprout.

And a man who until 3 years ago affected every fear of a WMD war, and every calculation of the future of the ME, is gone from power.

As the NYT editorialized to Clinton: "eliminate any capacity to make WMD, and export the blessing of democracy".
