This is from TheScoop.org:

"The text of the use of force resolution as it will be taken up in the House has been released. This has the support of GOP leaders Hastert and Lott and Democratic leader Gephardt."

The President is authorized to use the Armed Forces of the United States as he determines to be necessary and appropriate in order to defend the national security of the United States against the continuing threat posed by Iraq; and enforce all relevant United Nations Security Council Resolutions regarding Iraq.

Or in plain English: "LET'S ROLL!"

Looks good.

And we can say to the UN (with all honesty): "We're going after the al-Qaida mother****ers. Next time, Saddam's folks had best stay outta our way."

Or, better yet, "Oops, wrong targeting info uploaded..."

Poohbah might have a few other good "excuses" for "horrible, terrible accidents" that might befall Iraqi forces... I'll ping him on that.

I note that El Diablo D'Asshole is missing from the list of supporters. Without that <expletive deleted> on board, we'll have to wait until the Pubbies have 60 Senators AND replace Cave-A-Lott.

HAHAHAHAHAHA
The RATS have bent over and are being serviced by Dubya. So much for the loons and their hopes that any action be dependent on any UN garbage resolution. Not that there was any questions RATS did nto want to be the antiwar party, but they just pissed off their LW base. Baghdad Jim wont like this one.

Saddam, you better start moving around several times a day.

And we have been struggling with what to do with post-gulf Saddam since before Sept 11, 2001. These democrat-socialists who side with North Korea, Saddam, half of europe, and the old-timer politicos of China and Russia will be the enemy in the coming war. What did we fight for in WWII?? What did General MacArthur say was our responsibility?

"Only the knowledge that the victory, which these sacrifices have made possible, will be wisely used, can give them any comfort. It is our responsibility-ours, the living-to see to it that this victory shall be a monument worthy of the dead who died to win it. "

What were we talking about regarding Saddam in the year 2000? -
