It's a-coming. And President Bush is making absolutely the right decision, given his resonsibility to protect American citizens. We should be thankful we don't have the foppish and feckless Clinton in charge anymore.

GO ANY TIME BEFORE THE NOV. ELECTION 2002!!!!

[TaRaRaBoomDeAyGoreLostToday!]

A needed War indeed but also a depression/further layoffs ( everything is "Made In China") ushering in by force- globalization; under the guise of us being saved from China attacking us, while our troops are spread throughout the world.

The President cannot declare War.

The President cannot declare War.

I don't think the British press knows that. Of course, I am not sure the American press does either.

And thank G_d the foppish and feckless Algore didn't win election. I think a lot us of would be feeling a little naked about now.

Bump.

Actually, I believe the resolution for September 11th gave the president the power to do whatever he feels is necessary to protect the United States. It's not exactly a declaration of war, but it's pretty close.

I would never say that it would pass consitutional muster, but who cares about that anymore in those hallowed halls of congress.

I hope you have kids and I hope they all die in that war you so relish. Why don't you volunteer.

It's easier for someone else's kids to die.

You two sound like peace activists.

US and British forces will cut through Iraq like a knife through butter. This isn't a war. It's gonna be a turkey shoot.

Then you'll be at the head of the line to volunteer, right?. Let us know what your MOS is.

Too old. But I've got a nephew who will go in, and he wants to go.

Don't you have to learn the words to "Kumbaya" or something?

You see, our administration was heading toward to isolationism, believe it or not. President Bush was about to reduce our role as the World's cop.

But September 11 changed everything because as you see, there are crazy radical muslim terrorists who want to end our way of life as it is.

3,000 Americans already died. Have they died in vain? Saddam is supporting terrorist organizations in Israel. Americans are dying there too. Have they died in vain?
