Iraq protestors tell U S to go home

from JoeUser Forums
Tens of thousands in Baghdad and Ramadi chant "NO, NO to Satan" , burned American Flags along with cutouts of Bush, Saddam and Blair as American soldiers watch from behind concrete and barbed wire barriers. What a sad demonstration after the death of over 1,500 Americans, 35,000 injuries and $300 Billon dollars. Bush should be proud of the feeling shown by the Iraq people to the war he brought to their country. Where is the reception of thanks we were told would take place after we removed Saddam? Rather then thanks, our president is put on the same level as Saddam who we removed from power and our flag is burned while our military is forced to watch. It is time to leave this rat hole of a country!

We better be careful if Bush or anyone else tells we must attack another country give what we learned about Iraq!

If Congress knew what they know today, Bush would never have got the War resolution passed


If Congress in the late 1930s would have know about Perial Harbor or Hitler’s Death camps, would they have prevented the military build up that Roosevelt requested so hard?

If Congress had known what can of worms they released with the Gulf of Tompkins accord in the 1960s.....

Senators don't have crystal balls. Personally, I don't think the Congress has any authority in the Constitution in regard to police actions anyway. Only in the financing of such actions, after the fact. Even if they don’t finance the action later, that does not prevent the President from getting the money out of hide (like Clinton stripped the military for years to cover the Balkans). The war powers act is a laugh and would be called un-constitutional in a heart beat if challenged.

But after Pres. Truman assisted South Korea in the 50s everybody thinks Congress should have some find of Veto power.

That's My Two Cents

--didn't he get 60 days [can't think of the technical name] its where the president has sixty[or 30,etc...] to take care of the threat with military force before he has to get a declaration of war...
