Reply By: ParaTed2kPosted: Friday, November 16, 2007They do have the authority to stop funding the war, and the right. But that's not what they tried here is it. All they have to do to end the war is to say, "no, not another dime". But they don't do that, do they. No! Instead they play unconsitutional games with the funding and s

Newsflash, No member of Congress is given authority to decide how a war is to be fought. I don't care which side of the aisle they sit on, or how much military experience they may have... The U.S. Constitution is VERY clear on this. Congress has the power to END the war and to end the funding! </

Why won't the Democrats send up a bill without that deadline in it? The Congress can impose restrictions on a funding Bill. The fact is that the GOP members of the Senate would not allow the bill to come to a vote and are thus stopping the funding for the war. What the House Bill does is what the maj

The House approved $50 Billion for the Iraq War and Senate GOP members prevented that bill from coming to a vote. It is now clear what is stopping the Iraq War Funding are the GOP members of Congress and George W. Bush. I would suggest the Defense Secretary address his comments to them.

When David Kay inspected the Curveball site on Feb 8, 2003 and learned the BIO WMD story was not true, he should have told Powell. Then if Powell had come forward it would have been much harder for Bush to invade Iraq. However, Powell was not informed that the Bio story was a lie until April 2003 after Bush had invaded Iraq!
