I love the president, but I will fight him over Iraq.

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.

(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.

That struck me as very funny: being so opposed to violence that you're willing to fight. It takes all kinds, I guess.

(PS: Nobody's fighting: just a small group to help people get out of the embassy if necessary)

Yeah, what a concept: Trying to resolve conflicts through "tough" negociations first....
