You think they wouldn't need a President to authorize attacks on terrorist.

[Darkwolf377]

If the dems have their way they'll need an authorization to investigate murders, robberies...

[AdmSmith]

LOL, if you try that i.e. http://www.google.com/search?q=terrorist+sympathizer you get Bill O'Rilley as # 1!

The Iranian men, weapons, money, and IED's streaming into Iraq that are killing Americans as we speak, would have been considered provocation in Patton's day.

I think it would shock the Muslim world out of their magical thinking.

That is exactly the problem - "magical thinking." To some extent, though, I guess you could say every one of these world-domination movements, including Hitler's, has engaged in it. Islam is just different because it's been engaging in it for so long, and being fairly successful when it the technologies were equal (one reason Iran should not get nukes). Being crazy gives one a definite edge over one's enemy.

And you're right, massive destruction is the only thing that makes them get real. We haven't really inflicted massive destruction on Islam. Every now and then, the West fights them back, but then when the Muslims retreat to the Middle East, we don't pursue them but just figure the problem is solved at least for that generation. But it will always come back until some massive destruction is inflicted on them. Personally, I'm for destroying Mecca, because I don't think they care enough about the average Muslim citizen to care if all of Tehran is vaporized. But their black rock, on the other hand...

Don't you mean since 1953?

Why would you want to introduce objective historical perspective into a thread?

[prairiebreeze]

If Senate Republicans have half a brain (I am not sure that many do), they will go out of their way to not alienate Lieberman through foolish political posturing and chest pounding.

Indeed. Isn't it something that it's a Dem that's standing by Bush publically on this and not one weak-livered Pub to be seen. Instead we get the likes of Hagel, Snowe and the RINO Chorus singing "We Wring Our Hands Again"...Feh...!

The 2006 election was the republicans the lose, and they did everything they could to ensure that they did. Congratulations you damfools.

point of order please....

what is the difference between a Laison Office nd a Consulate?

U.S. Troops Stage Second Secret Raid at Iraq Airport

"..The liaison office that was raided issues travel permits for Iraqis traveling to Iran and other consular tasks and is on a waiting list to be officially declared a consulate. Technically, according to the Iraqi Foreign Ministry, the Iranians working in the liaison are not diplomats..."

It's high time we start forcefeeding Iran a healthy helping of this:

[FreedomNeocon]

Doesn't matter.

Joe ran on "democrat, except on Iraq / National Security" and won easily, even after loosing the primary, so I'm sure he feels comfortable in that position.

If you were somehow single-issue enough, you'd be more comfortable with Joe than about a dozen republicans I could name just of the top of my head.

[do the dhue]

I don't understand how you can think that he will change his stripes. Maybe people think Joe will spite the rats? Joe is going to do what is best for Joe.

[Big Horn]

I like that. I think Bush should keep approving raids all the way to Tehran!!
Woopee another one bites the dust.

[paratrooper82]

"What other possible terrorists are on the Presidential list that needs approval before going after?"

The homegrown terrorist known as the Liberal Democrats.

It served two goals, try to draw Iran into a battle and see if Maliki was going to interfere. Under the Constitution the President has 30 days to go to congress if he launches an attack on Iran but any attack must be done in the contents of immediate threat. If congress refuses a resolution then the President must cease military operations but by then Iran could be glass.

[do the dhue]

by then Iran could be glass.

Thee he he!

I don't know why that made me chuckle. It is true.

[do the dhue]

If he did approve raids all the way to Tehran, we could be there by Sunday morning.

[doug from upland]

About time. We should be stopping the supplies at the border by taking them out in Iranian territory.

We should be stopping the supplies at the border by taking them out in Iranian territory.

We need to strike the tent of Ahmadamadajadahadajad.
