Actually, my daughter made me aware that "shekinah" (pronounce it aloud) means "A visible manifestation of the divine presence" as described in Jewish theology. (Google it) This oughta really stir up a sh*t storm!

I won't believe it until we identify the body by his dna or something..he is one crafty person and it wouldn't surprise me to have his double be dead while he is still alive somewhere

Like Vietnam, Korea, GW I this is not a declared war.

War can only be declared by Congress; this is the President acting as Commander in Chief, however, as per the war powers act of 1974, in 60 days the COngress can vote to bring the troops back, or allow a 30 day extension of the CIC's War Powers. After that 90 days, they MUST declare war, thus giving both executive and legislative approval for any sustained conflict

No, we didn't, but I recall this afternoon seeing that yesterdays thread was still active. No big deal, just thought it might be a little cleaner that way....

The judge said it was not legally declared.

My point was "so what, we won, he deserved to die." The fallout will happen in the political arena, not in a court.

CNBC just reported that Turkey is blinking. They only want to control refugee flow and don't want territory. Also Germany will send chemical warfare troops to Kuwait.
