Nickles and Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Tulsa, said, in seeking lawmakers' support, Bush did not say he would give Congress veto power over his authority.

Bolded in article is mine and I wanted to highlight the statement above by my two Senators. Believe it says it all!

This article appeared at the top of the front page of our paper this morning! Thought everyone should read just what the real story was about Pres Bush going to Congress!

Support Don Nickles for the next Majority Leader of the Senate and Senator Inhofe to head Armed Services. There are no two finer Senators from a State than these two from Oklahoma IMHO!

Personally, I think Bush played this beautifully.

First they leak this story about the White House Counsel's Office giving them a legal opinion that they don't need Congressional approval. This sends the Democrats and the media into an uproar demanding Congress be involved ... so what does Bush do? He gives them exactly what they want ... a vote on using force vs Iraq! LOL! With November right around the corner, the Democrats have to either give Bush what he wants or risk getting anhilated at the polls!

Bravo, Mr President!

Inhofe said a public debate was unnecessary.

Of course not! Now, lets all bow, scrape, and lick boot . . .

I agree it will be fast.

A long debate will only focus the public on this issue, and that would hurt the Dems politically.

Glad to see that Oklahoma's senators have guts on this issue.

Here in Georgia, all I see is Zig-Zag Miller and Max (I'm a good ol' boy) Cleland. Hope we can elect Saxby Chambliss to replace Cleland this fall.

Thanks for posting this.

Da$$hole is like a little kid who just learned how to play chess trying to play with a master who can play 20 boards at once while blindfolded and win.

Besides taking away CFR and other non issues, now GW has as per Da$$hole's whining, placed the issue of Iraq right on little Tommy's Lap.

Careful what you wish for Little Tommy Da$$hole, GW just might give it to you!

Senator "X" said the 1998 resolution would "send as clear a message as possible that we are going to force, one way or another, diplomatically or militarily, Iraq to comply with international law." And he vigorously defended President Clinton's inclination to use military force in Iraq.

Guess who said this 4 years ago?

Democrats for Regime Change

Great article! I think I'm going to move to Oklahoma. You wouldn't want to trade a Nickles & an Inhofe for a Wellstone and a Dayton would you?

I didn't think so...
