At no point has Bush indicated anything of the sort. I realize you and Al had your panties in a wad for a while because YOU were "afraid" he was going to do just that. But Bush never suggested for a minutes he was going to do any such thing. He made it clear that he did not believe he needed Congressional approval (which I guess every president in modern times has done when Congress started acting like THEIR the "commander-in-chief"). He made it clear that if the UN doesn't act he will. But he never once said he intended to act alone. I think liberals are just alarmists, and LOVE a good cause. And the cause has been all things anti-Bush for the last couple of months. I will admit Bush is easy for liberals to hate but not without cause. And his position re Iraq has not been as straight forward as you suggest. He waivers depending on the reaction he gets.....one minute he is prepared to attack with our without the support of our allies, suggesting that if we attack, they [our allies] will follow. And when that position fails, he backs off and tries to fulfill the conditions required by our allies for their support. It has backfired, and apparently will deliver the Senate AND the House to us in November. It hasn't backfired.......you forget the pendulum of public opinion........it swings back and forth. The Reps. are not in as strong a position as you think......it could go either way right now.
