"If the president concluded he had to invade Iran ... or Syria in pursuit of these networks, I believe the present authorization granted the president to use force in Iraq does not cover that and he does need congressional authority to do that," said Biden.

This is bull. We are in a war, and our troops are being attacked from Syria and Iran. It is well within the president's scope of authority to prosecute the war as necessary to destroy the enemy.

President Bush is the Commander-in-Chief, not Congress, and he has constitutional authority to manage the war.

Congress does have a constitutional remedy, if they believe that he is recklessly endangering the country: They can remove him from office. Go ahead and impeach him.

If they don't have the balls to try it, stay the hell out of the way.

My position: Iran and Syria should have had regime change years ago.

I would put it right to Biden. Ask him straight up, if we are on the tails of those that attacked and killed American soldiers, would you approve the measure that we chase them down regardless of wether they enter Syria or Iran? What is he going to say? No? Yeah Right.

Further, I would put Syria and Iran to task an ask them publicly for their position on us chasing these terrorists. Oh and while we are at it Pakistan as well. What are they going to say? No. OK then we know where they stand publicly and no appoligies can be made for them as non terrorist supporting nations.

W did say it's time to put the cards on the table right? I realize that was many many months ago, but he was being diplomatic waitin fo proper amount of time so that the words "rushed into this" cannot be used honestly.
