Don't try to pin this one on Bush. The responsibility is on us, every American.
Well, Bush himself has said HE made the decision to go to war so you've either got the facts wrong or he's a liar.

What part of Commander in Chief is causing the difficulty?

Neither do you.

What part of the large difference between approving funding and ordering an invasion is causing you such difficulty?

You're still trying to pretend that the Democrats had nothing to do with this. FAIL. Again, the Constitution grants Congress the sole power of declaring war.

Republicans opposed both Iraq wars from the start, fought it tooth and nail. They were the ones marching on the street protesting it, dont you remeber.

Fox new condemned the war in 2003

As you're still pretending the go/no go decision was the work of more than ONE MAN. FAIL!

And Congress hasn't declared war since 1941. Your point would be?

Personally, I'd like to see a Constitutional Amendment barring the deployment of combat troops for more than 6 months without a Declaration of War by Congress.

Sensible people wanted the heads of those responsible for attacking the US on 9/11 placed on sticks.

Have they trained us to be so passive, we let them now oppress the people how ever they wish, without being held accountable.


How many have died on US soil, defending their liberty, against oppressive government?
And I'm not even talking the fight for independence or the civil war.
There is a lot of people in this country not worth fighting for:

» Thug Tells Whites: Bow Down to Blacks, You’re All Gonna Die Alex Jones' Infowars: There's a war on for your mind!

In fact, it's fairly obviously we will be fighting each other in the streets eventually.
