... And a Surprise in Iraq

Submitted by Chris, Aug 23, 2007 09:35

I am so tired of people using the term of war so easy. Congress never declared a war and the last time I looked the Bush Administration and no media outlet can declare a war, only Congress can. The Iraq conflict is is a U.N. Resolution pushed by the "neo-cons". I am a true conservative and I am not for needless war.
We need to ask ourselves why the Bush Administration is more worried about the borders of Iraq than they are the borders of the U.S.? Why we have a 9 trillion dollar deficit and why we are steadily borrowing money world wide to support this unsustainable "Global War on Terror" when we are open wide here at home. I think Ron Paul has it right the Republicans have lost their way.
