Some members of Congress used Secretary of State Colin Powell's United Nations speech Wednesday to call for a new vote on whether President Bush should have the authority to use military action against Iraq.

I am at a complete loss here as to what exactly they would use from Powell's presentation to support rescinding the previous resolution.

Maybe the congress is starting to take their job seriously. It is after all THEIR place to declare war and not just military action.
Powells case was very good, and I took it as "we are going to war because." This was not a plea to go to war or to ask support. We are going and congress should step up and say it in writing or reign in Bush. I am really hopefull that this is actually good news.
