We had authorized use of force in Afghanistan and Iraq. If the president wants to monitor international calls involving Iraqis and Afghanis, I have no problem with that. Of course, we have no idea if that is the case or not. That's why it is imperative that there be oversight.
And yes, we are at war... with Al Qaeda.
And I'm asking you exactly what form this oversight should take. I'm all for oversight, but I'd like to know how you would plan to implement it.
And we're at war with Al Qaeda, and Hezbollah, and Hamas, and Islamic Jihad, and Gammat al-Islamiyah, and all the other Islamic terrorist groups in the world.
