Mr. Bush: Meet Walter Jones

Somehow, somewhere, Ronald Reagan looks down from on high, shakes his head at his former aide Pat Buchanan, and says "there you go again"...

Before this is all over, Buchanan and Jimmy Carter will shake hands and agree that those pesky Jews are the real problem.

And Pat?

Next time, could we hear all that in the original German?

FU Pat.

Good one.

[canuck_conservative]

Pat's right.

Again.

But that's too much for some people.

[mkjessup]

And you call yourself a 'conservative'?

[leadhead]

Run Pat, Run

Before I throw a rock at you!

[nopardons]

No, Pat is wrong and so are you.

[canuck_conservative]

Of course.

I believe that, in the US, the US Constitution should be followed.

You got a problem with that?

[blondee123]

If Biden, Kerry, Clinton and Obama refuse to sign on to the Jones resolution, they will be silently conceding that Bush indeed does have the power to start a war on Iran. And America should pay no further attention to the Democrats' wailing about being misled on the Iraq war.

It's either late or I'm misreading this, sounds to me like he is sticking up for Bush and telling the rats to put up or shut up!

What does this article have to do with not following the Constitution?

[piasa]

Isn't Pat the guy who picked a communist to be his running mate?

A Balrog of Morgoth...

I take it you are a Tolkien fan like me. Consider these photographic comparisons:

Pres. Clinton bombed Serbia for 78 days without any Congressional authorization and many of these same folks who are warning Pres. Bush over Iran (Kerry, Kennedy, Hillary, etc.) made not a peep of protest then. I think fair minded people can agree that 1) it's been done, and 2) the Constitutionality of it is uncertain and disputed.

[nopardons]

You misread it; Jones is NOT "sticking up" for the president, He has introduced a Bill, that DEMANDS that the president come to Congress, hat in hand, and beg them to "declare a state of war", PRIOR to the president doing ANYTHING whatsoever about Iran, Iranians in Iraq and you KNOW that Congress will NOT do that. This is a way to hobble the president, which is why old IT'S THOSE JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOS FAULT, Pat, is delighted with Jones.

[nopardons]

No. The stinking Commie was part of his team and whilst both she and his V.P. are black women, they are NOT the same person.

So you have no problem if Bush just orders the bombing of Iran without declaring war or getting the U.S. congress to approve? I doubt the founding fathers would agree with that.

No. That has been talked about and shown false so many times I can't figure out why some still say it unless they haven't been keeping up.

[A Balrog of Morgoth]

LMAO, well done.

This is one of the few cases where I'm sort of with Buchanon, once you shuck away all the drivel about neo-con this, neo-con that.

There should be a Congressional resolution passed before we (if that is really our intention, which I doubt) commence overt military operations against Iran.
