So let me get this straight...
I do know the President is the commander-in-chief of all the US military, but Congress is the entity that funds our military?
There has to be some way to make Congress's opinion null and void. To me, what Congress is demanding Bush do is just an opinion. Whether they circumvent the law and make it real just doesn't matter to me. It's still an opinion. It just gives me all the more reason to purchase a few firearms to defend myself for when the Radicals come.
The Democrats are perverted anti-Americans, pure and simple.
For once Bush and fellow Republicans should see this move by Democrats as a declaration of war against them and for once take to the bully pulpit forcefully and put up a fight worthy of the effort our soldiers give every single daY.
Anything less on their part is criminal as far as I am concerned.

I agree with you, especially when you realize that the Senate will likely filibuster it, and ten the President can veto it.
But the MSM will spin it to make it look like the President is ignoring U.S. laws and will scream the war is illegal if troops stay in Iraq. Or they will cut off the funding and claim the President has to abide by their legislation. The worst they can do is shut down the government over it by tying it to the bidget or other spending bills with lots of popular/necessary items. But it will all be spun to make Bush look like he is breaking the laws they make.
There are two. One, we have elections every two years and we replace or reelect all 435 Representatives and 33-34 Senators. Two, you can make a revolution and overthrow the government.

You, brother, are the radical here. We govern ourselves through representatives in Congress assembled. Many representatives who supported the President's war policy were just fired and replaced with representatives who oppose it. It is perfectly proper for the new majority to act in the manner that those who elected them desire.
Nope, they forbid spending any funds to support the South Vietnamese after we left, or for US forces to go back in. The NVA attacked, twice, in massive combined arms operations. They succeeded the second time, as South Vietnamese forces ran low on beans and bullets, and with the lack of the air support they'd been trained to work with.
They did it before, some of the same individuals even (Fat Teddy who wasn't so fat then, and his protege, who wasn't in Congress then, Jean Kerri, among others.)
