war with iran????

[historian]

If the idiot in the white house decides to invade Iran isn't there anything congress can do to stop him???????

[Kagemusha]

1. Yeah. Cut off funding.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Progressive Friend]

6. Exactly, all Congress has to do is nothing (i.e. not pass legislation funding it)

The same could be used to bring Bush's war against Iraq to a grinding halt.

[Kagemusha]

9. War powers act says Bush has 90 days of free war at minimum

Yeah, so they'd have to cannibalize everything else to pay for it until they demand a supplemental and dare Congress to stop funding troops in the field fighting a foe who by that time would be causing all sorts of havoc for the US Army and Marine Corps in Iraq. And pigs will fly before Congress refuses to fund in that situation.

2. If I'm not mistaken...

They've given him the ability to do as he sees fit in the entire region.

4. Tell him

we did it last week, while he was on vacation, show him some old footage of Iraqis being blow to pieces from the sky, then hand him another beer.

5. No, they won't even try. Why do you think they would?

Did you hear the response to Bush's bellicose speech against Iran last week? I don't think so, unless you were following Barbara Lee or Dennis Kucinich and a handful of the others around, don't expect to hear anything... until the bombs drop and the words of praise flow freely and the "We support the troops" things starts.

[polichick]

8. Congress has sold us down the river...

Bush is just the guy steering the boat.

[razors edge]

12. Ever here the old saying...

We're up shits creak without a paddle?

Well, a paddle will no longer help, the shit is too thick.

[polichick]

13. Yep, an appropriate saying in this case...

There was such hope in the air following the 2006 election ~ and now there's only the stench of betrayal.

7. And risk being voted out of office???

That's too high a price to ask them to pay.

[The Gunslinger]

10. Stop him?

They only question is how they are going to assist him.

[valerief]

11. They could, they should, they can, they won't. nt
