"I would suggest respectfully to the president that he is not the sole decider," Sen. Arlen Specter (news, bio, voting record), R-Pa., said during a hearing on Congress' war powers amid an increasingly harsh debate over Iraq war policy. "The decider is a shared and joint responsibility," Specter said. Does anyone know what exactly was in the policy to attack Iraq that was passed by Congress? Can't Congress say something like "We approved a bill declaring war on Saddam's regime in Iraq. That war is over, so bring the troops home." Or something like that? I mean, Congress approved the invasion, but who decides when the "war" is over? Can't Congress pass a next piece of legislation recognizing the Democratically elected government of Iraq and declare the war over, so GB will no longer feel that he is the sole person who decides what the overseas military should be doing? Conress has the power to declare war, can't they also declare that the war is over?
