I am not equally certain about the efficacy of "bringing democracy to the Iraqis" as a way to neutralize the radical islamists.

And I agree, but removing a head of state who was a supporter of terrorism, and who was acting like he had, and was trying to develop, WMDs turned out to be very positive and productive thing.

This is exactly why the President is required under the Constitution to get the Congress unambiguously on record before putting troops in harm's way.

But Congress was, they just didn't declare war with the implications that entailed. Most of our fighting has been done without a declaration of war going back to Adams.

Just for your information Congress need not declare war all out; it can, in times such as these, do what it did. That’s what happened in the time of the undeclared wars between the Revolution and 1812.

People who dislike Paul tend to suck at written English.

I dislike a lot of Paul's policies.

I do not suck at written English.

I suck at typing, but not at written English.

Paul's Pausse

What's a "pausse"?

I hope it's not what I think it is.

Nutcase Paul may be, but I always thought he was a MALE nutcase.

That percentage will swell if the Reps nominate anybody but Thompson or Hunter.

In America, a candidate can take funds from whomever or whatever interest group that they would choose to accept them from, Paul is not shy being photographed with this “dude”, if they wish to spend their money in an attempt to use their first amendment rights, then why all of the PC stuff?

It's a typo but apparently a few FReepers have decided to give it a more colorful interpretation.
