OT: Kennedy's Seizure...

Oh come on truk, times have not been that bad. You just have not lived long enough.

Even if you actually believe it's the same organization (which our military says it is NOT), they weren't there to begin with. They're arriving from Saudi Arabia, the source of over 60% of foreign fighters entering Iraq (also according to our military).

First of all, I didn't say I wanted him to die, or anything like that, so I'm wondering why you mention that.

Secondly, being in a fishbowl your entire life is horrible, not to mention his own family tragedies.

Thirdly, I'm still convinced he's more than an occasional drinker. For one thing, he looks at least 10 years older than he is.

I don't see that happening this time. I see the democrats and their minions accepting a McCain win, because what they have on their side is not really heart stopping for most of them, forget the crowds on TV. McCain does not seem to meet the standard mold of modern day Republicans, Reagan Republicans if you will. Most of these Repubs are still living in the past glory years. McCain will bring them out of it if he wins and bring back true bipartisanship (cooperation) with tough love for both sides, LOL. McCain knows how to do it.

Easy, I never said you did. Sorry if you got that impression.

He's had quite a life that's for sure, a tragic life.

I respect your opinion.

"dbu"

No problem - I just wanted to clear that up, lest it would sound like I wished him harm. :)

Yeah - money or not, I would *hate* to be a Kennedy, or a British royal, etc. You don't choose to be in the public eye, you're born into it.

And I, yours.

I think it's better to get rid of them.

The War POwers act was never recinded after the end of WWII. THerefore, if Congress authorizes a military activity, it is not unconstitutional.

We have k00ks around here that don't know their history, either.

Slight difference.

Quite a few constitutional experts disagree with you. Here's one:

However, I'm sure one of your sources says otherwise. Which source of yours says otherwise? You made a comment about the war powers act, but you don't have enough knowledge about that to make your statement.

Who told you to say that?

You must have a mirror on your desk.

Then, eliminate the demand, same as we're trying to do with drugs.

Not according to our military. Sorry, Sot. Your sources, if any, are flawed. I watched as Petraeus explained that "AQ in Iraq", as they call themselves, are not the same crew that did 9/11.

Take up your disagreement with Petraeus. I'll sure he'll get a chuckle out of it, and you, a senile old man who operated a typewriter in the bilge of a ship.

A lot of them are already on their way back to Mexico. Between raids on employers by the INS and the price of gas...

One of the history books you told me to read...

1. It's "rescinded".
2. The WPA wasn't passed until 1973.

All laws hostile to the Constitution are null and void (Marbury v. Madison). In addition, every President since its passage has asserted that it is unconstitutional.

Indeed.

Not at all. The law is the law.

Gee, thanks for correcting spelling.

Read it. Bush complied with it's terms.

Kinda like Duhbya without his daddy??

He is what this country needs.
