On this point you are correct, where you miss it is the silly thing called the constitution. Congress can pass any law they want, the President is the one that approves or disapproves the law. If the Congress and the President both agree on the law and the people don’t like the law they have one last course of action which is the court system. If the law is unconstitutional it can be struck down. If the law is constitutional then the only way to get rid of the law is for congress to repeal the law. That is the way it works. You don’t like the way it works because you did not get your way. How about respecting the majority as you have said on many occasions after the corrupt democrats re-took power. Now that your side is proven to be impotent by just a few people standing in their way you try to make excuses for their failure.
The democrats have always said that they will fund the troops and that the date certain idea that you supported was a political ploy to hurt the President and the republicans. All this crap YOU supported has now been exposed as a ploy and they had no desire to advance a date to withdraw from Iraq. Don’t you feel the least bit used? Humiliated? Duped? You were used by your party, they had no intention of following through on the bill you supported and now you scream that it is the presidents fault even though they freely admit that wanted the President to veto the bill.

"The democrats have always said that they will fund the troops" The Congress DID fund the troops. It is the Commander-in-Chief that prevented those funds from being available!

No, they put in the poison pill of a withdrawal date, that the president said he would not allow. It was also unconstitutional so your guys were breaking the law, should we remove them from office?

and once again you failed to answer my questions.

No, they put in the poison pill of a withdrawal date, that the president said he would not allow. It was also unconstitutional so your guys were breaking the law, should we remove them from office?

SHOW me the Supreme court Ruling that says what Congress included in the Iraq funding bill is unconstitutional?

how do you know what would have happened if

congress pays

president commands

congress pays

president commands

Bush could NOT command his way out of a paper bag!

"If we had not invaded Iraq then al Qaeda would have attacked the us again" al Qaeda and the attack on 9/11 had NOTHING to do with Iraq. We had invaded Afghanistan but we NEVER committed the troop level needed to deal with ALL the al Qaeda in Afghanistan because Bush sent then into Iraq. The only reason al Qaeda is operating in IRAQ TODAY IS BECAUSE WE INVEDED Iraq AND COULD NOT PREVENT THEM FROM SETTING UO SHOP ON Iraq!

"If we had not invaded Iraq the whole world which has hated us for at least 30 years would now love us" Our invasion and occupation of Iraq had made the Hate that existed before our invasion much worse. That is what our own intelligence agencies have said in the NIE.

If al gore had been elected president we would now be a Muslim nation YOU do not know what you are talking. YOU ARE AN a*s.

oh and the military on it's own is lowering the wages of non-combatants not in Iraq to pay those in Iraq"

With the leadership, or lack of it, from Bush they were sent into a war that was not justified, without the needed equipment and without the numbers needed to accomplish the mission. When they come home injured Bush has not requested enough funding to properly deal with the number that needs care. Both facilities like Walter Reed and the VA are very much under funded by the Commander-in-Chief. Bush is the militaries WORST enemy. Bush has all but destroyed the Army, Marines, Army National Guard and Army Reserve.

Nice try, and it would work if I was as ignorant of the constitution as you seem to be. Wars are the responsibility of the President. Only the President can send troops to war, and only the President can order them into battle or bring them home. Congress can cut funding, impeach the President, and make recommendations but that is it, unless they make an amendment to the constitution changing the laws we use to govern. Show me in the constitution where the congress fights a war.

col gene and sean are just following the democrat book keep saying the same lies until everyone believes you


and col gene what about that redistribution of wealth you know the 300,000

Based on your lies then we would have been attacked with WMD because we invaded Iraq. Instead we find that, according to you, there were not WMD's at all. Funny how they all disappeared. We knew they had them, Saddam admitted he had them and the quantities we used were based off of what Saddam said he had and what the UN said they destroyed. The difference is what he still had and what we could not find. Where did it all go?

Fact: Saddam publicaly stated that he would sell or give what WMD he had to terrorist to use on Isreal and the U.S. That my poorly educated supposed col is a threat. He does not have to do the act, or even have the ability to do the act. The threat is saying he would do the act. Actually doing the act is not a threat it is an attack. I am sure that war college would have covered that minor fact. Were you awake during that class?




You say you have read half the book so far, yet if anyone watched the interview on Fox News Channel he was asked directly if the President lied and the answer was no. Why would he contradict what was in his book? Or are you making leaps of logic to come to your conclusions again? What makes what you write so hard to believe is the fact that Mr. Tenet was an appointee of Mr. Clinton, and Mr. Tenet has stated publicly that he gave the same talks about Bin laden to both presidents only one was doing something about him.

The lie from that Brit has been proven wrong several times plus a full investigation was completed and no evidence was found to even hint that what he said was correct. Oh yeah, and that Brit was found to have been taking money from Saddam prior to the run up to the war. Funny how all the people you bring up have received bribe money from Saddam.
