President Bush's new conference regarding current events

[Mo1]

FOFL .. I'm clean .. honest .. besides you can't prove a thing

[RobFromGa]

I thought Bush did well tonight in laying out the threat and that Saddam has made his choice.

Most important, he said we don't need UN permission for anything, and he told the Security Council they were going to be forced to Vote.

Other than that, just another row of bricks on a very solid foundation...

My only negative: I wish he would quit saying he still hopes for peaceful solution when Bush already stated repeatedly that Saddam is a brutal murderous dictator who plays us like a fiddle who has shown he will not disarm.

Those two thoughts, peaceful solution and Saddam seem discordant to me. The only peaceful solution is Saddam gets a bullet in the head or goes into exile.

[Wait4Truth]

Thanks! I just may use that email adress. Terry Moran is the White House press person that I detest the most.

The President has no power to "Declare War"

Correct, last Fall The congress passed a bill Authorizing the President to take action against IRAQ if they don't disarm.

Now it's up to the President to determine if it is necessary to use force to protect the USA.

[oreolady]

Whoops, sorry oldeconomy , I don't know what happened, this was meant for the guy talking against religion, forgot his handle. Was meant for Churchillbluff.

[glock rocks]

And the lion will lie down with the lamb. . .

maybe juan is a closet American. maybe.

[churchillbuff]

The mooks that have been killing Americans for the past 20 years look like Saddam Hussein

They look like the president of Egypt, too, you racist. Should we also invade Egypt?

[Otta B Sleepin]

I think somebody accidently left the back door open and some varmints snuck in.

ROFLOL......Prairie, I like your style!

[Jim Noble]

>>Declarations of war come from Congress<<

They certainly do. Here's one:

"the President is hereby authorized and directed to employ the entire naval and military forces of the United States and the resources of the Government to carry on war against the Imperial Government of Japan; and, to bring the conflict to a successful termination, all of the resources of the country are hereby pledged by the Congress of the United States."

All the resources of the country are hereby pledged by the Congress of the United States.

The Commander-in-Chief cannot do this. Only the Congress can.

[MeekOneGOP]

Memo to Hans Blix from President Bush:

Is Saddam Hussein in Compliance? Yea or Nea? . . .

[SierraWasp]

"Good to hear the sleeper cell freepers show their colors."

Now, now... don't be too hard on the Keyboard Quarterbacks. When the whirled hangs on your every sylable, you are not only in the arena, even your body language and every facial expression is scruitinized by every foe, foreign AND domestic!

[jwalsh07]

Bush wants to hear one thing from Blix tomorrow, a yes or no answer.

DID IRAQ DISARM?

No opinion, just fact, yes or no. If not, that's it.

[FairOpinion]

Newt Gingrich is giving an excellent analysis right now on FoxNews.

[Dont Mention the War]

Hey Chester? Didn't you have a question for the President too?

[ez]

Declarations of war come from Congress. If I am wrong, please me a man and tell me WHY I am wrong.

You need to read the resolution Congress issued regarding War in Iraq. They ceded their power to use force to the President based on HIS sole discretion. He has their blessing already.

[guitfiddlist]

No Helen Thomas! Glory be!

Although Helen Thomas is a nit in the great scheme of things, her exclusion was a seminal moment in Prez-Press relations. Bush made clear he's through kissing the liberal press's ugly arse, in the form of Thomas, no matter what the tradition.

A bad tradition should not be continued just because it's been a tradition.

[hispanarepublicana]

I think somebody accidently left the back door open and some varmints snuck in.

Need to spray some "FReeCon"...sprinkling some FReeCon pellets around the doorways might help too.

See my post #1322.

The other bombshell I learned yesterday is that France and Germany are actually 100% behind the U.S. on this one. Try that one on for size.

[Centurion2000]

- I'm "disloyal" because I think the Bush policy toward N Korea makes sense for Iraq as well.

No, just an idiot anti-christian scumbag ....
