I was against the war in 2003 and I'll be damned if I will support putting anymore Americans in harms way. Fuck the neocons. Fuck Glenn Beck's mind tricks. Nothing will make me budge on this.

(154,021 posts)(under war power act, I get it, you need bodies to shred\burn documents, pull triggers and evacuate) I want POTUS to challenge the bomb throwers, rhetorically that is, and have the Congress actually declare war. They want a war, well that is their prerogative under US Law, but they do that, let the CIC fight it then.
It is much easier to throw rhetorical bombs though. I was thinking on those lines when Rachel also said it. And I do not think most of the bomb throwers will actually vote for a formal declaration of war.
