The entire "resolution" is a joke anyway! Remember back a few months ago when Bush was warming up his fuff-n-puff foriegn policy? Then came the massive letter writing campaign and mobilization of the anti-war m0ovement. Opps. Minor miscalclation...

So then Bush huddled with his advisors and they came to the conclusion that the US and world had a longer check list in mind before military options would be used. But duriug this entire process Bush had his usual 4 to 5 temper tantrums a week and continued threatening to *whack* this guy or that guy.

The resolution was written more to appease a threatening madman than trying to disarm Saddam, who until Bush decided was going to take over bin Laden's role od bogieman de-jour, was no particular threat at that point in time.

Well, all the resolution did was create a little time for Bush to re-think his position and for the world to try to push diplomacy into the mix. It was deemed to fail from the very beginning since Bush is Hell bent on war and the Commander of Chief of the worlds most powerful military can huff-n-puff his way into any war he wants.

Congress threw up their arms and their "constitutional" responsibilities on the deal because they looked around the room an discovered that their composition was heavily weighted with Repub hawks. Who expected anything different. That's Congress for ya.

So, now it's down to quibbeling over the language of the resolution. Forget it. We need to be looking at the bigger picture and allow the magican to fool us with the slight of hand in focusing on details of the document. It comes down to war or peace. You can only have one! Not both.

Diplomacy of DU's tank killers that also poison our environment. You can't have both.

Security or the creation of an entire generation of terrorists. You can't have both.

Resist war today!

Peace
