Webb just cut to the chase re:iran

[YDogg]

paraphrasing: "does the pres believe he has the authority to wage war against iran" (based on iraq war res).

1. How did you like Condiliar's response?

"I'll have to answer that question in writing." Ugh.......

[seabeyond]

4. oh oh.... we dont have the right to know. can only whisper it in his ear

bullshit

[fooj]

13. Utter and COMPLETE BS.

[YDogg]

5. he should have asked her when to expect her written response

[seabeyond]

2. what was the answer. love the question n/t

[Richard Steele]

3. Best question yet!

She wouldn't answer, of course.
But it needed to be asked.

[Windy]

7. Thats a yes or no question!!!

Why the hell didn't she answer? Bush basically announced an offensive against Iran and Syria last night!

[demnan]

6. Didn't we have a blow-by-blow thread on these?

Where did it go - a poor hungry cube rat waiting to be fed information.

8. biden just says it explicitly denies bush that authority

and predicts a constitutional confrontation

[Bitwit1234]

10. By attacking Iran bush would be waging war and

the constitution says that only congress can declare war. when they gave bush permission to go after Iraq they did not give him the power to wage war. My representative says that they did not vote for bush to go to war. I am going to find the article and amendment and post it.

11. I can see Webb, w/his Pentagon experience, will be a valuable asset

for us. :thumbsup:

12. yes, very much so.
