This just in from MSNBC.

Aug. 26 — Lawyers for President Bush have concluded he can launch an attack on Iraq without new approval from Congress, in part because they say that permission remains in force from the 1991 resolution giving Bush’s father authority to wage war in the Persian Gulf, according to administration officials.

AT THE same time, some administration officials are arguing internally that the president should seek lawmakers’ backing anyway to build public support and to avoid souring congressional relations. If Bush took that course, he still would be likely to assert that congressional consent was not legally necessary, the officials said.
Whatever the White House decides about its obligations under the War Powers Resolution of 1973, some House and Senate leaders appear determined to push resolutions of support for ousting Iraqi President Saddam Hussein when Congress returns after Labor Day because they consider the issue too grave for Congress to be sidestepped. Administration officials say privately that military strikes against Hussein’s regime are virtually inevitable, although all the specifics have not been decided and action is not imminent.

Personally, I am a bit fan of the "Oh, but he has to attack now, or he risks looking weak!" argument.

I love watching all the wee skateboard guys attempt tricks and fail miserably. It's like they buy into the whole lifestyle, with the clothes and music etc etc, but hardly any of them can actually skateboard worth shit.

Yeah, Scotland can boast the lamest skaters in the world.

I get a little tired of this "debate" about whether or not the US and the UK should bomb Iraq. There's no dicussion to be had: the whole thing is a smokescreen to cover up the fact that they've been bombing constantly since Clinton's time. Most of the time they can't find any military targets, but they still have to dispose of their bombs in order to make a profit, so they just blow up a farm or something. Ah, our fearless servicemen.

Sometimes I wonder about you people. I never said you WERE apologizing, but you made the statement that you werent going to, so I basically said I didnt expect you too. And try telling bob Burnquist and Tony Hawk they cant skate...but that isnt the real point. My username says nothing about skateboarding...it is music...it is a stereotype that all punk rock listeners skate.

IN RELEVANT ISSUES:

The statement that he HAS to attack or else he risks looking weak is not really something I buy into. I suppose it is that way in reality because of the pressures from the rest of the country and the government to do so. I think that each president should be his own person, but alas, that's politics. In politics you have to do what makes you popular I guess...as much as I disagree with that.

Hmmm... as little as you can trust the government to admit honestly if it is bombing civilian targets, I trust the Iraqi government less to provide honest reports about what the planes actually hit. Who knows what's actually happening.

Look, do the damned tricks already.

I think some are having issues with the "ska" portion of your name, actually. Not everyone knows that ska is a form of Reggae, which was later mixed with punk.

Now do your damn skate tricks.

Andy, The major difference is the scale of killing. If ground troops are to move into a major city the civilian death toll will be enormous.

I know some guys who were in the military during the US invasion of Panama. The stuff in the news about mass graves of civilians dug by the US military is true. I've been told by first hand sources that the US government did not want a large US troop death toll. so if US troops encountered any sniper fire they would simply call in an artillery attack on those city blocks and kill everyone who lived there.

Baghdad has a much greater population density so in a simliar situation the number of civilian deaths is potentially exponentially greater. If US troops go in there it will be a bloodbath. They will keep the western media out as much as possible, but eyewitnesses will report what they have seen to Arab news organizations, where it will be reported. So once again the potential for civilian death is dramatically increased as the likelihood of fighting spreading into other countries in the region increases (due to the uproar over how callous US military policy is toward the killing of innocent bystanders).

It's late and I hope I am being clear. They can continue to do what they are doing and keep it fairly well hidden (at least here in the US). The reason they are debating the topic in public is the intended killing is on such a larger scale.

Thanks for doing the skate tricks, punkrockskaboy. I'm sorry you didn't stick that one where you racked your nuts, but the sacrifice is appreciated. Anything for entertainment, as we say around here.

No, they have scudboards.
