Democrats challenge Bush's power to wage war
Democrats are challenging President Bush's power to wage war, contending they've found a way to block a troop increase in Iraq and prevent any pre-emptive invasion of Iran.

But first Congress will vote on a nonbinding measure stating opposition to Bush's decision to send 21,500 more troops to Iraq. The House was expected to pass the measure on Friday, with the Senate planning to hold a test vote Saturday.

3. Murtha seems to be leading the way
on this. We know that the former military man is not afraid of BushCo.

In the same article you get stupid republican thinking like this:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In a speech Thursday, Bush said he expects Congress to live up to its promise to support the troops.

"The enemy wants our men and women in uniform to think their Congress doesn't care about them," said Rep. Sam Johnson, a Texas Republican who was a prisoner of war during Vietnam.

"We must learn from our mistakes. We cannot leave a job undone like we left in Korea, like we left in Vietnam, like we left in Somalia," Johnson said.

These people just keep repeating the same nonsense. The appeal to the brain dead to vote for them every time. They can count themselves extremely fortunate that we have a system of "one man one vote".
