tonyhays 86 #54 September 14, 2008 Sorry about that...will try to double check things in the future...so sorry to offend!!And while the CIC has the ultimate decision to bring them home, Congress does have the power to not send any more funds flowing there way...was not one of their promises when they took power to bring them home? So bring them home. Take a stand. They had the public support when they took office. “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.” Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MikeForsythe 0 #55 September 14, 2008 QuoteBecause ALL of you who support the war will not allow them.....to defund our troops while they are in the field..THEY are not the COMMANDER IN CHIEF.. who has the power to bring them home.. You might read this and get back to me and tell me again why the democratic controlled congress has not voted to bring them home: U.S. law & declarations of war President of the United States--although he is the commander-in-chief of the U.S. armed forces, the president has no clear constitutional authority to declare war. Congress of the United States--the sole branch of government with the constitutional authority to formally declare war. So if you are not voting to bring our troops home then shut the fuck up and support them until you do!Time and pressure will always show you who a person really is!

grimmie 186 #56 September 14, 2008 You guys are fucking joking right? Just bring them home. That would be swell. GWB stepped into a giant pile of dog shit. Hey, why can't you democrats clean off his shoe in 2 years? GWB started a catastrophy of epic proportions based on bullshit. The Dems could try to pull out the troops. But then what. Mass fucking chaos. And then all of our brave men and women WILL have died in vain. You guys all know we just can't pull out of Iraq and go home. Stop playing that card. I hear people say to support the President and the troops. Well the troops have my UTMOST admiration and support. The President is a lying puppet that is getting some rich guys wealthier. And to those folks that think Iraq was a swell idea, I ask them why their kids aren't there. And to the parents of our brave military members, may God bless your loved ones.

And to the parents of our brave military members, may God bless your loved ones. I FULLY support all of those who support this cluterfuck to man the fuck up and show up at the local recruiters office first thing on Monday morning... 7 years ago. A whole lot of kids did that 7 years ago.. and many of their lives have been squandered for many of the wrong reasons. All the great minds that we have in our military.. all of the patriotic fervor that in our righteous indignation of religious fundamentalists who attacked us instilled in us.....all the money we have spent to protect our country.. and its all wasted by a bunch of incompetent fucknuggets that led us into this mess....and STILL manage to sleep comfortably in their beds at night.

You might ant to double check the Constitution to see which branch of the federal government has command of the US armed forces.

SpeedRacer 1 #59 September 14, 2008 right, but which branch is the one that is SUPPOSED to declare war in the first place? and why, after we were attacked on 9/11/2001, did the Bush adminstration NOT ask for a declaration of war against Al Quaeda or the Taliban? and instead said that finding Osama was not a priority and that they should receive a blank check to do whatever they wanted, such as attack Iraq (Saddam being one of Osama's Arch Enemies) It is clear that the Bush administration does not have America's best interests in mind.

Andy9o8 2 #61 September 14, 2008 Hi, Mike. Look, you know fully well that if Congress did that - cut off the funds without the ability to redeploy the troops out of theater - Republicans would be the first to say that the Democratic Congress abandoned the troops and left them to die on the vine without body armor, adequate supplies, etc. Congress only controls the purse strings, it can't bug the troops out with a stroke of the pen. The President can. I'm quite sure Mike F. knows that, too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The point is, Congress COULD pass another bill to DE-authorize use of force, unless I'm entirely mistaken (and I don't think I am). The Dems campaigned on ending the war and then reneged on the promise (and a whole bunch of others). If they truly CARED about it, then they would DO it and to hell with the consequences - the fact that they haven't shows that political power is more important to them (as most/all politicians).Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim.

Congress COULD, but (a) the Constitution is mute on whether the CinC has to take any notice of such a vote, (b) The Senate doesn't have enough Dems to override the inevitable Bush veto (recall that he suddenly found his lost veto pen after the 2006 elections).... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
