Les, Interesting post. It proves once and for all that Albright is a moron. Not only did she lie in the testimony (they believed that the air war would only last several days) but that she thinks that the Whitehouse does not have to consult with the Cong- ress over fighting a war. In fact, she is dead wrong when it comes to the Constitution. Only the Congress can declare war. Only the Congress is allowed to appropriate funds to fight a war. The President must go to Congress and ask for permission to conduct a war. The only reason that Presidents have been able to fight short wars (Panama, Grenada, Lybia for example) is that the Commander in Chief is allowed to make use of the military for national security interests. Currently, the President can only fight for 60 days before he must ask for permission to continue. The clock is ticking... Bubba must go before the Congress and ask for the money and permission to continue. -John
