4. I could see it dragging the whole repug party down further than it

already is. And it just gives the democrats more ammunition going into the 08 election.

5. He's the CiC

He doesn't need an OK from anybody. He directs the troops. He would have directed them to invade with or without the IWR, and he'll direct them now regardless of what anybody says.

6. Yep, he's the decider and he's decided he's sending 30-40K troops

to Iraq as a stop-over on their way to Iran. Iran is where they're going...anyone got a problem with that!? I've decided!

7. He doesn't need anyone's permission, nor does he need funds for this

It's a done deal and noone can stop it, in this matter Bu$h IS the decider. :cry:
