    @ Near-Dictator's Butt-boy

    I'm interpreting Goldfarb's words to mean that Article II gives the President "near dictatorial power" in pursuing war once it has been declared. This is true. As Commander-in-Chief, the President calls the shots once war has been declared by Congress, which, if you'll recall, it was.

    -- --Jack

    As if your remarks weren't ludicrous enough, haven't you heard the news? Your beloved Fuhrer sent out orders to find a "war czar" to take his unforgiveable mess off his hands. Of course, so far no one is delusional and/or suicidal enough to volunteer. Maybe you're exactly the right man for the job.

    P.S. When exactly was the "war" on Iraq declared?
