1. Ok. Now I'm waiting for Bush to take Iran down before Hillary's term. If he does, I'll make an apology. =D But he won't.

2. Uh...did Bush ever ask for a declaration of war? Nope. So you can't blame on RINOs, who wouldn't have dared block such a request at the time.

3. Exactly. It's all-encompassing nature is precisely what makes it so inadequate. You guys will call me a leftist again for saying this, but did Roosevelt declare a War on Air Raids after Pearl Harbor? You don't fight the tactics your various enemies utilize, you fight the ideology or country. Which in this case is Islam.

4. Precisely what powers did I imbue Bush with which he does not come equipped with as "Commander-in-Chief?" He can order bombing runs and military strikes.

5. Uh...he can stop using pro-Palestinian rhetoric in public, for starters. Publicly put them down as the terrorists they are at every available opportunity. Entrange them from the US economy in every way. There are plenty of things.

Not a single thing I've said has been leftist. I said Bush should have attacked Iran. While some leftists say that, they don't mean it. I wanted a declaration of war. What libs run around screaming for war? I wanted a war on Islam. I wanted scorched-earth battle tactics. And finally, I oppose Palestine.

Please explain how that makes me leftist.

I didn't say you were a leftest, just that your points are common among leftists, perhaps because they are simplistic half truths that many conservatives have a hard time answering.

1. Probably won't invade Iran, but if he or the next administration decides to, our military is in the right place. Invading Iran would have been far more difficult and bloody if we had not removed Saddam first. Invading Iraq first was and still is the right thing to have done no matter how much the pansies vetch about it.

2. Even with the Rino's I don't think a declaration of war (which actually needs to be against a specific nation) was doable. Getting a declaration of war without a provoking act and proof of it is just not happening. And because of terms of the Desert Storm cessation of hostilities, a declaration of war wasn't needed. Why expend the energy and political capital on that which you do not need? Getting a war declaration was impossible at the time and still is not possible even under current conditions. I think there are a lot of chickenhawks who are hoping Bush (or Israel) will take unilateral action to destroy their nuke program, but they don't want to go on the record as saying so.

3. A war on islamofascism isn't enough, because we have other fascists that are non-islamic that also need to be taken down, namely Fat Kim and Chavez, because they are stupidly assisting the islamofascists under the enemy of my enemy is my friend rubric.

4. Destroy holy sites, carpet bomb cities, yeah and then get impeached and stand trial for war crimes. He doesn't have the political back up to do what you want him to do. He can't order total war because Congress would have him in leg irons with the press singing hosanna.

5. He should cut the Palies off, I agree. It's past time to stop the diplo-dance of dummies.

You may want scorched earth tactics, but you aren't the elected leader of the free world. Unfortunately, the majority of voters seem to be against your tactics. I think the Bush Administration's single biggest failing is losing the media war.
