Hello Newbie. What is GW I?

Commander in chief isn't good enough for ya. Gotta have Tommy Dashole's Ok. Well why not the UN too.

[knak]

Already!!

[ztiworoh]

Yes, but UN or not, the Liberals could bring up charges based on Bush violating the executive order banning assasinations, and that's a constitutional issue, not a UN issue. So the question is, was war declared or not, and can a head of state ALSO be considered an enemy combatant

HUMUNGUS........you did that better than I did. We're even.

Gulf War I

This is GW II to me

[Cboldt]

As between US legislature and President Bush, Bush was granted the power by the legislature, and he satisfied all requirements of the grant of authority promulgated by Congress.

Technically, it is not a declared war.

What practical difference does the formal stature make?

[Fledermaus]

Wonderful way to start the new thread!

[Mo1]

Just for reference in history

Thanks for the scream on the old thread!

Did I spell it wrong, or did you?

[Valin]

It appears that G. Bush & Co. was involved in a little urban renewal in Bagdad Iraq.

[ztiworoh]

In the eyes of the law it could make a difference, there is a valid legal argument since technically a state of "war" only exists with congressional approval; its all a question of interpretation, thus do the rules apply to all armed conflicts, only declared wars, armed conflicts with legislative approval but not backed by a war resolution... all about the interpretation

[austex]

you're right - potentially they could but if we can't get rid of Clinton for liberating his penis surely they can't get rid of Bush for liberating Iraq....
