San Fran Nan is full of it. Bottom line GWB has 90 days to play, no matter what the Congress says.

The War Powers Act of 1973 requires the President to consult with Congress before and during hostilities (Sec. 3); and to remove U.S. armed forces from hostilities if Congress has not declared war or passed a resolution authorizing the use of force within 60 days (Sec.. 5(b)). It grants an additional 30 days upon a formal request by the President, presumably when “unavoidable military necessity” requires additional action for a safe withdrawal.

“Commander in Chief”.

Nowhere does that title, include whining democrats in the house of representatives.

The best defense is a strong offense!
President Bush should start offending right now.

But apparantly it is okay for Pelosi in Chief to declare war on Turkey...

Well I guess then that BJ broke the law and needs to be tried and sent to jail for when he took out the aspirin factory.(That was BJ wasn’t it?) Nancy the clown is full of s***, the Pres can attack whomever he wants without a vote.

[RandallFlagg]

Of course she’s full of it. But she’s also told our enemies that they can attack our allies with impunity -and they don’t think we would respond.

Basicly, I believe she just cost innocent lives.

"We don't believe that any authorities that the president has would give him the ability to go in without an act of Congress,"

Believe? LOL! Believe what you want Pelosi, it still doesn't become real. The President has the power to use military force without congressional approval for 30 days.

"Well? We're waiting...."

I fit ever comes to that, Congress will do as they’ve done before: refuse to vote on it, handing the decision back to the President and holding fingers to the wind later to either criticise him or to claim praise.

[Freedom of Speech Wins]

Fine they attacked when they took our embassy and I don't think they have apologized. They also have been funding the terrorists and attacking US troops in Iraq. Did Pelosi even listen to the War on Terror speech where Bush announced that we would attack those that fund the terrorists. Conditions met. Pelosi grow a brain.

Does sending Iranian citizens into Iraq to kill American soldiers and contractors sound like a Cause Belli, eh Nancy?

W has all the justification he needs, and has had it for a long time.

I sure wish some Republican would.

It’s like a PTA meeting. Facing off against Attila the Hun.

[RightWhale]

Time of flight is about five minutes. That’s how much time the Pres will have to decide if USA interests are being attacked.

[Vn_survivor_67-68]

60 days is plenty long enough to do all the surgery Iran requires......without even “invading” it....

[Oldhunk]

No problem. The Israelis can get the job done.

[tdewey10]

The democrats are messing with Turkey to try and make the situation in Iraq even worse.

she's full of it......

Here ya go, >>> sh <<<

[mortal19440]

She needs challenged by a leading Republican and if none of them have the Balls then Bush should hold a press conference and explain to America why this phony is wrong.

"President George W. Bush must seek congressional approval before taking any military action in Iran, unless Tehran attacks the United States first, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on Sunday."

Bah, humbug.
