Let me state for the record, I am in 100% support of Israel (because of my Christian and Southern beliefs. And for the record, our side had a Jewish secretary of state and has the only Jewish military cemetary outside of the state of Israel.

I concur 100%.

Washington was right in 1795. Different regions will never see eye to eye. Did I support President Bush when he first started talking about invasion? No. There has never been a formal declaration of war. Don't give me this crap about open authorization. The Constitution requires a formal declaration in Article I, Section 8. Not some pansy open check to do whatever the heck one man thinks should be the course

Lincoln himself acknowledged that a President declaring war without congressional approval was a dictator.

But war has started and I will (as I always have) support fully the men and women of these United States Armed Forces in their cause, for their success, and for their safe return home. But please quit shoving this world policeman, put a soldier in every port of the world because it's vital, imperialistic crap down our throats as conservatism. Because it's not. I don't know what the h#ll it is, but it's not what most people I know grew up knowing as conservatism

Bump again. Take care of Americans first, defend this country from invasion - military and illegal immigrants. I live in a military neighborhood, several of my neighbors and a best friend are overseas right now - I pray for all of them and their success.

Congress authorized the war a year ago.
I would preffer a formal "We declare War on Iraq" statement, but there is no language for a declaration of war provided in the Constitution.
