Treacherous Mercenary Posted March 20, 2003 Posted March 20, 2003 This is just what we really need, Arabs to get pissed off at us! Do we really need to make money to support another country?
Clefo Posted March 20, 2003 Posted March 20, 2003 And by Bush I'm assuming you mean "A majority of Congress" because any idiot who's payed attention in a civics class can tell you that America can't declare war without congressional approval... Nitpick nitpick

Nitpick nitpick Congress can declare war, but the President can command the troops on the other hand...
Snafu7 Posted March 20, 2003 Author Posted March 20, 2003 Any ways, a US destroyer stationed in the Red Sea just launched 2 Tomahawk missiles at Bagdad
Clefo Posted March 20, 2003 Posted March 20, 2003 Without a formal declaration of war, the President can only send troops in for 90 days at a time...
Tie Guy Posted March 20, 2003 Posted March 20, 2003 Originally posted by Clefo Without a formal declaration of war, the President can only send troops in for 90 days at a time... Far more days than it will take to win the war. And after that the UN would send in peacekeepers and relief efforts. That being said, Congress will probably declare war soon.

Nitpick nitpick The President can declare ware without the approval of Congress. I think it's only like for 90 days though. What President would try to do that though. One that wants to be impeached. But it is possible.

Then again, he was impeached so...
Breton Posted March 20, 2003 Posted March 20, 2003 Ehhh...Jedi_Masta, if you meant what I think you meant, then you are a racist. But do correct me if you didn't mean that.
Snafu7 Posted March 20, 2003 Author Posted March 20, 2003 Correct me if I'm wrong, but Bush got permission granted from Congress a while ago, I beleive

It is only thirty days he is allowed to use force until he must confront congress, and yes, he has congressional approval to use force all he wants, even past that time.
Treacherous Mercenary Posted March 21, 2003 Posted March 21, 2003 Originally posted by JEDI_MASTA time to kill sand monkeys!!!!!!!! Well, as JM said about this comment, I only take this as racism which imo should be dealt with accordingly in that case... I don't believe in racism and it only makes America look bad...... MORON!
pbguy1211 Posted March 21, 2003 Posted March 21, 2003 This isn't the first clue to make people think JM's a racist...
Darth Groovy Posted March 21, 2003 Posted March 21, 2003 Jedi_Masta, I suggest you edit your comment before the mods edit it for you. Imperial Sardaukar, calling him a Moron does not solve anything, in fact that is called flaming. Flaming on the boards is prohibited.

Dagobahn Eagle Posted March 26, 2003 Posted March 26, 2003 OT@JM: Okay, then, but I will call him ignorant, something which already has been estabilished. Now that the war has begun, I support our troops and think that as many as possible should join just to get it over with. We can't stop it now anyway, and we're gonna lose fewer soldiers if we just move in and get the job done.

Zygomaticus Posted March 26, 2003 Posted March 26, 2003 Originally posted by pbguy1211 oh, now it's "we"? I would presume he speaks as a former war protester and an American for when he refers to our soldiers, he refers to our losses in life.
Dagobahn Eagle Posted March 26, 2003 Posted March 26, 2003 "We": The countries that join. Norway will assist with peacekeeping after the war, and I *think* we're helping a bit in the war too (and we patrolled the no-fly-zones), so I think we count.
Heavyarms Posted March 27, 2003 Posted March 27, 2003 wouldn't ya know? Norway is doing stuff where there is zero risk, patrolling air zones, should try blowing up Najaf or something!
Artoo Posted March 27, 2003 Posted March 27, 2003 Don't complain to someone who's helping for no benefit of their own.
