Where is the "penalty" for such activity? What does the House propose we do about it? No words in this resolution. It states in #4 that if Iraq fails to comply with #1-3 then it would be considered an act of agression against The USA and it's allies. When I was reading that I clearly understood that this meant we have the right to be agressive back. Did anyone else feel that?

No. I don't. Maybe that's because I know that if Congress meant that they would say that - or at least something along the lines of "the President is authorized...". No such language. In fact, absent such language, the President is authorized to do nothing.

This is pathetic.
