The kind of War you all are thinking about is no longer fought. Congress authorized hositilities back before we went into Afghanistan. Even in the press it is called 'The War on Terror'.

We have no real beef with the people of Iraq. The people of Iraq are being held hostage by their own government.

We aren't flouting the Constitution here. Vote happened. Another vote just puts our men in women in a situation where they are fighting in desert heat.

You want another Congressional vote because your spines are going soft? You should have thought about that 3 months ago.

The easiest way for the UN to weasel out of war is to point out that our Congress has yet to declare war. Even the UN hasn't made that case, because it can't be made.

Perhaps this is just some nostalgic longing for the days that governments went into full swing producing main battle tanks, ships, planes, all in preparation for a big conventional war.

Those days are gone. Why do you think Bush declared Iraq, Iran, and North Korea the 'Axis of Evil'? That is as close as you are going to get to a formal declaration of war here. He did that on the basis of the original vote.

You think we ought to declare war on North Korea too? You think that is how we ought to handle it? When did Iraq declare war on us, or North Korea, or Iran, or Syria?

Septemer 11, 2001. Thing is I missed the red letter headline in the WSJ or the Times. If memory serves, Afghanistan never declared war on us either. Funny, how we are thwarting new terrorist threats on our soil almost every day and nobody has had the common decency to come out and declare war on us.

The case has been made, the vote has been taken, and the order of battle established. For once, can we make it somewhat easy on our own troops and do this while we have the climate?

Wake up and smell the ricin!

We delcared war on both Germany and Japan seperately during WWII. I completely fail to see how this is any different with Iraq and North Korea.

Same thing as today, attacked without provocation.

Words mean things. Or do you think the current administration can just ignore the Constitution because he is "your guy" instead of "their guy"?

Piss on someone elses "Rule of Law". Leave ours alone unless you want to drag us down to the same level as those terrorist nations we are going to war against. Do you really think that this end run around the Constitution is the brave and right thing to do? Coward, how many fatwahs and jihads have to be called againt us before you have enough evidence to think that these are anything other than declarations of war on thier part?

I want their blood for the crimes they have committed. You want their blood in the same sense of retirbution. The difference is that we have RULES to follow before we let slip our dogs of War. To do anything otherwise is to toss everything America stands for out the window and will lend credence to everything our detractors are spouting about us.

Get a grip.

Don't you dare confuse those who prefer a decalration war to a resolution of force with those that don't want ANY action.

If all goes well, I'll be over there within 3 weeks supporting the military efforts. Will you be there to met me?

Don't talk to me about going soft.
