No Declaration of War: Resolution of Resolve Debaed

CNN ^ | Heard on CNN within Last 1/2 Hour | Self

CNN reports (the male reporter with the blonde blow dried hair and big Clintonesque Nose) that Bush is seeking negotiations with Congressional leaders for a "Resolution of Resolve" (my quotation is as close as I can remember; but it definitely WAS NOT "DECLARATION OF WAR"). Dems are stalling as they don't "want to give the President a blank check".

Anyone with CNN can verify this.

Dems are stalling as they don't "want to give the President a blank check".

Just great. Democrats are looking to turn this into another Vietnam by handcuffing our military.

Mccain said many members want a war declaration in the days to come

[Don Myers]

"but it definitely WAS NOT "DECLARATION OF WAR"). "

Bush has talked a good fight. We will have to see if he follows through.

[July 4th]

They mentioned this "resolve" resolution earlier tonight. It IS a blank check for the use of force, and from what I understand, it's just a declaration of war with no specific country on the recieving end. Go for it. We need all options available, and there's no reason why anyone should hold it up for one second.

DON'T YOU THINK IT'S PRETTY DAM* IMPORTANT THAT WE CALL IT A DECLARATION OF WAR? ANYTHING ELSE ISN'T. THERE IS NO NEED TO HIDE BEHIND LEGALISMS AND EUPHIMISMS HERE. 20,000 people ARE DEAD!!!!! WHERE ARE THE PATRIOTS HERE??????

God, Please Bless America and guide and help unite our nation in this troubled time.
Please Welcome Home those who have lost their lives.

Please bless and protect those who are helping the injured.
Please bless and protect our military and law enforcement.
Now is the time for ALL true Americans to UNITE and stand behind President Bush!
Any political debates can take place AFTER this crisis is handled.
UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL

God Bless America!
What We as Americans Can Do
1) Pray
2) Give blood and whatever else the Red Cross calls for.
3) Support our military and law enforcement.

And Finally:
HUNT DOWN AND
EXECUTE THOSE RESPONSIBLE!

No Declaration of War? -- unacceptable

[DLfromthedesert]

Can't we declare war on the Moslems dancing in the streets in New Jersey?

[Bombard]

NO MORE PUSSY FOOTING ARROUND WE NEED A FULL DECLARATION OF WAR NOW!!!!!!!!!!!! DEATH TO THE PIGS WHO DID THIS DEED!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Loopy]

UNACCEPTABLE!!!!!!!!

[Antoninus]

Anything less than a war declaration will not satisfy me, unfortunately. Listening to NY radio, even the liberal doves are out for blood. This is the defining moment for Bush. Let's hope he's up to the task.

[Jean S]

Resolution of Resolve sounds meaningless and stupid whether it has any teeth or not. We need to declare war.

[newsperson999]

DECLARATION OF WAR NOW!!!!!!!

[BurkeanCyclist]

One advantage of a declaration of war against international terrorists and their state sponsors is that those who support them could be tried for treason.

Hmmm. I wonder if Rep. Peter King (Sinn Fein-NY) talked him out of it.

[Rome2000]

If the Democrats are in the way just go around them.

If there is no declaration of war by this country we are weak and will no longer be feared.

[Keyes For President]

Our enemies have shown that they have the will to strike out at us. They have started WWIII. We have the ability to defeat them. Now we must have the political will to do it.

[Loopy]

READ POST 7. Biden says no. Bush is in "negotiations." THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!!!!! ALL HE HAS TO DO IS ASK CONGRESS FOR IT AND THEY HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO GIVE IT.

This is the worst act of aggression on American Soil EVER!!!!! EVER!!!!

Are we going to let our politicians sell us down the river to more deaths of innocent Americans by half measures???? Because that it what is coming, or are we all to blind to see it?
