Prez has the authority to act as a monarch, by design when the need arises: and I think the need has arisen.

To some extent he has that power, in an emergency he should use it as well. As in an attack-counterattack scenario. But this, that aint. Commin up on two years since we were attacked, we went in and bombed Afganistan back to the precambrian and that should be the extent of the prez's Kingly powers IMO.

If we're going to allow this then we will esentially allow anything becuse there is no emergengy here, no need for Kingly authority. Plenty of time to deliberate, as it was intended.

Congress gave the prez the imprimatur on his WOT...wherever, whenever, and for long as it takes. Let them go back into session and vote to revoke it. I don't think they should: consider Adams, Jefferson, and Madison's battles with this stuff. Pesky Pirates!

Oh yeah:

I kinda agree with what you say about deliberation; but I think there's a great danger to that course: Dems, commies and useful idiots--who killed the Republic...and are working hard to ditch what we've got left) will not act, or vote, in the interest of the U.S. , its citizens, or world peace. They will obstruct, hobble, and jockey for political advantage while the world decays around us. They will act according to that which furthers the cause of socialism.

Bush descries the danger, and I, with him. The planet is heading for a greater, necessary order--just the nature of modern times--but the foundation for that order, already laid by the U.N., and socialist in its contours, must be supplanted by an order based upon the tenets expressed in the Declaration of '76....not the termite-society engendering constructs of communists...like Ted K and Chirac and Mandella and Schroeder and Clinton.........
