I don't believe the president is so authorized. The authorization you are referring to is specific to those that "planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, or harbored such organizations or persons." Iran and the Revolutionary Guard (not Republican Guard, although I can understand why you made the mistake) don't qualify.

There were two authorizations: one with the above language and one specific to Iraq. The above is the one that Damo appears to be referring to as giving an argument for attacking the Revolutionary Guard on the basis that it is a terrorist organization.

This all boils down to one question .. what in the fuck are democratic voters going to do about more capitulation to evil, the EXACT same capitulation that got us into Iraq?
Sadly, the answer is very clear .. democratic voters aren't going to do a goddamn thing.
We'll pretend we're antiwar

Amen.
First, explain who you mean by "the left". Elected democrats (not the left) or the actual left?
Second, tell the board how you end a war in a "decent way" and what is an indecent way to end a war. Next, explain how having a war in the first place is "decent".
Lastly, tell the board when there will have been enough war for you personally, what you personally have done to end the war, and how badly you want to nuke Iran, or if you don't want to attack Iran, feel free to state so.
In other words, put something up big shit talker.
LOL
Another "I'm not a republican"-republican warhawk crying that Dems aren't ending the war.
You've got a record on these boards, along with toby, dixie, and WRL: you've got a lot of blood on your hands dude. Next to dixie and toby, you were probably the biggest war cheerleader on the boards. Stop pussyfooting around and asking "Where's the Dem's Plan?" Chickenhawks have lost all credibility asking questions like that.
Just be who you are: raise those cheerleading pom poms above your head, cheer for your war on iraq, and cheer to nuke iran.

Funny, he never mentioned it here. I've never seen him express it before here, I didn't know. All he's ever done is talk nonsense about nothing. That's why I say the shit talkers must have got their memos in their inboxes today.
That avatar is very very misleading.
Oh, yeah: he and toby were a pair. Total iraq war cheerleader.
Toby had the guts to slink away. Bob tried another tactic: he's an in-the-closet republican know, afraid to come out and loudly and proudly proclaim his love for this war.

Tell me about it. I see that and think "This is someone I can relate to." Then the next things out of his mouth are NUKE IRAN and DEMS ARE FUCKING UP THE WAR FOR REPUBLICANS!
I see. Well thanks for filling me in.

yes the elected left... and you the actual left ...
how would i end the war in a decent way ??
well first i wouldn't let the elected officials get away with using it as a tool to get back into power... well i would try to get as many people supporting the effort as possable, we are all in it togeather like it or not, so just criticizing one lil group of people for the last six yers didnt do a dam thing besides show the rest of the world that we are tring to make this place a better place.
i never said that war is decent... but ending a war in a decint way... not just pulling out would be decint, if we just pulled out it would confirm alot of people belifes that we dont care about em.
a decent ending would be iraq actuly gets both feet on the ground and we can leave for the most part. its better then just leaving em to a mess as it is now.
what have i done to end this war ?... well i support my freind and family over in iraq, moral support ask em what i can do, realy they dont have much of an answer besides get our politicians to worrie about the war and not there status in our goverment, witch i do call and complain on a regular basis to quite a few congressmen and women in our state, i have writen letters to all sorts of oficials on both sides of the isle... how much affect has it had.. well that hard to tell, at my cousins funeral i walked up to both colmen and klobashar and said look at what your two partys have done... bith were silent, and continued to say i am not asking for much but please work togeather on this and walked away.
iran, i dont want war with iran, but it sure seems that they want it with us, nukes should never be used.
you can call me all the names you wish, you will not change a dam thing doing that. i supported the war in iraq and yes i still do to a point... but it is fading fast because of the way that all of our politicains behave, we need a big change in the capital, and not just a new pres
both sides of the isle are to blame for this mess
