While I may like Ron on domestic policy, I find his foreign policy a great danger to the safety and well being of this country. I think we can find more reasoned people who believe in limited government, but will not pose a danger to us all through faulty foreign policy.
Ditto.
But, my understanding is that congress is going to have to fund it in the end anyway, so they will either have to be on board or take the heat when Saddam ties up the oil we need or trains more jihaddies to turn lose on us.
It is a subtlety lost on many constitutional "purists". The President cannot use military force without Congress appropriating the money for it. If the President does something the Congress doesn't want him to do, they can cut off funding at any time. They can also throw him out of office. The control over the President is through the purse strings, not the role of Congress in declaring war.
When I hear people nattering on this point, I wish they would just say they object to the action, rather than trying to make the case that they can't do it.
