<<"The White House text is the blankest of blank checks: it simply rehearses the case against Saddam and authorizes the President to do whatever he wishes, not only in Iraq but throughout "the region." That won't do. Congress has the opportunity to steer the President toward a goal that makes sense. "Regime change" in Iraq is not that goal. Bush has occasionally said that regime change is his "policy." And it is certainly something to be desired. But he did not demand it in his speech to the General Assembly, and unless he is willing to drop it under the right conditions then his speech was given in the worst of bad faith. Ultimately, regime change makes sense only as a last resort—as a means, after all else has failed, to the end of eliminating an Iraqi threat of weapons, especially nuclear weapons, of mass destruction. That should be America's goal, and the world's.>> I agree strongly agree with this -- as you know I have been "discussing" the regime change policy on the amzn thread for the past few weeks.
