We should have referred to the constitution, and seen that the only legal means of going to war is congressionally DECLARING it. Declare it, go fight it, win it, tell the American people that the mission was accomplished, and COME HOME. We don't need 160,000 troops continually put into harms way while the country is reconstructed. Cheney has known for years though, that were we to actually commit to an occupation, that the consequences would be disasterous. We need our military HERE right now, defending our OWN borders.
What is happening right now in Iraq was expected. It's sad that congress at large didn't have the balls to stand up and admit it.
congress voted for the use of force, overwhelmingly. What exactley is unconstitutional about that?
What is the clear and present danger at our borders that our troops hould be defending?
Do you not see what an accomplishment and changeing point in hisotry it would be to have democratic, pro-west ally in the middle the east?
Again, you aren't interested in 'improveing' anything. Simply bringing troops home improves nothing, while ignore that a decrease in violence in the region only improves chances of creating a free iraq.
