[Mulder]

but it has NOTHING to do with this current thread

My reply to a response to someone who was commenting on Bush's attire.

I didn't see the press conference, but I'll happily make some comments on it, based on the play-by-play posted here.

1) It appears that the US-Britain are gearing up for action against Iraq. If this is the case, I believe the President should follow the Constitutional route, and ask the Congress for a Declaration of War against Iraq (giving the reasons for it). While the President is the commander-in-chief, the Constitution grants plenary power to the Congress with regards to making war. There is a very good reason the Founders made it like this.

2) Apparently, there is some concern about weapons-of-mass destruction being employed against the CONUS. If this is truly the case, why are our borders still open? Why is the national guard in the airports and not on the border? Why does Bush support amnesty for some illegals, which is only going to increase the number of people trying to enter our country? Why haven't we made it clear to our enemies that any WMD attack on us will result in the destruction of their nations by any means available to us?

Why you, Mulder, are a shocker to Americans asking these questions in your post#101! A shocker, I tell ya.

okay sweetie...

My reply to a response to someone who was commenting on Bush's attire.

Then why did you drag CFR into your comment ??
And now you're dragging in...

1. Possible US/British war against Iraq and an apparent premonition that the president will refuse to follow the Constitutional route
2. Open Borders
3. National Guard in Airports
4. Amnesty (not really...check your facts here)
5. We must declare intended destruction of nations who use WMD

Too many things to discuss here...and haven't we already been going around and around about some of these things ? It just seems like another bash Bush comment to me...would things really be better if we had Gore standing there ??
