G W BUSH "bad intelligence"

[revelarts]

It's "cite" not sight, tired of seeing that "typo". Sorry, pet peeve of mine, sue .

The entire thing has been written and rewritten on this website many times for you. I quoted the portions necessary to make the point. There is NOTHING in the entire resolution that remotely overrides the ability of the president to let congress know, then take matters into his executive power for 60 days, and then would need to return to them in 60 days if any plans of going further. There is nothing, nada, zilch in this resolution that will change that.

Please don't try and act all educated because I purposely spelled out things for you that you FAIL to comprehend, no matter how many times the resolution is shown to you, no matter how many people and no matter how explained.

You can micro-quote until your head explodes, pick away til your head explodes, declare that so many presidents have been wrong til your head explodes and how certain individuals side with you un... you get the point.

MY only point is making it clear once again, not to debate with you. The debate has done many a times and many a folks debated you and schooled you. You just keep coming back thinking you know better. You don't.

Jim, the parts of the resolution that you cited are subject to the above conditions.
why don't you include this in your reading. it's part of the law as well. .
You should not ignore it.
Heck Even Bush didn't for Iraq. He got congress to authorize that.

But Obama and Trump have ignored it.
hmm, I guess people like you and Trump ARE just like Obama.
