I say again: If the president had declared war, these issues would likely not have come up. But he chose to do it under murky legal auspices and it becomes a FUBAR.

    I say again: If the President had declared war, he would have violated Article I of the Constitution.

    That’s true. And we all know how much respect the President has for the Constitution, or indeed any other documents establishing a rule of law.

    Geneva Conventions? Quaint.

    Constitution? Limiting.

    That’s right, only the Congress can declare war.

    So Bush invaded a sovereign nation without the Constitutionally required declaration.

    Shouldn’t that get him impeached?

    One would think. But he wasn’t getting a hummer at the time, so, no.

    Duros, invading a dress with sperm is a much more serious offence!
