I hate to report this...but some guy that is on Fox just characterized this as "Bush has passed the buck"...when the buck is supposed to stop with him

Good heavens, that sounds just like something Juan Williams would say.

[shield]

Oh how smart you are....all those channels are way too distracting....let's get News Corp to put Special Report with Brit Hume on local Fox TV channels.

[Sacajaweau]

But Congress AND the Supreme Court has said the buck doesn't stop with Bush. That's what it's all about...taking away the powers and decisions of the Commander & Chief.

[Jrabbit]

He's a rather whiney little puke, isn't he?

[Bryher1]

The Dems will say, "Bin Laden, Bin Laden, Bin Laden." as if no one else matters.

[tioga]

He challanged Congress, not the MSM......and I believe Americans WILL WANT THIS !!! Bush put this front and center for the midterms........and set the standard for the presidential election to come.

[pollyannaish]

Rove knows politics. Snow knows media. Bush knows people.

That is one scary group if you are a dem.

[soloNYer]

Watching Matthews Dem Fest on MSNBC...the Chicago Tribune guests saying that Dems will be able to say that Bush has come around to the Dem thinking on Gitmo(!). Didn't bother to counter his own talking points with the SCOTUS decision forcing the issue...

[myprecious]

killed over 3,000 of our innocent people

And that number is much lower than the evil plan called for. The hope of these monsters was for every one is the two towers to be slaughtered - ten's of thousands.

Does this dude know how our government works??

He didn't pass the buck .. he needs Congress to pass laws so that he can enforce them

[top 2 toe red]

Bless your and your sons hearts, ArmyMarineMom!!!

...and from a humble and most grateful heart, "Thank you, all!!!"

[conservative blonde]

Bin Laden is DEAD. And so are the Rats, I hope.

[mwl1]

We can pass this bill in the House faily easily; this helps GOP incumbents and makes RATS go on the record -- great campaign issue for Democratic seats we are challenging.

As to Senate, I am sure the RATS will filibuster -- which gives the GOP a great wedge issue for the midterms. Stabenow, Cantwell and others are in a bad position on this.

[MOgirl]

Hello,

Good point! A triple threat for the Dems....

HA! What a day!

Glad to be here, MOgirl

[RightWhale]

We'll have to see if this has any effect at all. It won't change any minds but it might embarrass Pelosi, Murtha, et al.

[NittanyLion]

The demand that Congress act would be a futile gesture. It might be great rhetoric and might play for the fall elections but it won't make any difference for the war. The MSM will continue to play their game.

It makes a difference for the war because it helps the GOP hold congressional seats. That alone helps the cause of the WOT. Rhetoric is a wholely necessary tool at times.

[Coop]

Reid says he will submit the amendment to Censor Rummy ..

I hope he's foolish enough to proceed with this lost cause. :-D

[jennyjenny]

Schumer saying Republicans want Rumsfeld out.

[dubie]

BIDEN RESPONDS...
