During wartime, everyone must make certain sacrifices. My question for you is...
Are any sacrifices being made by the corporations rebuilding Iraq??? I mean, are they cutting their costs/profits for the war effort??? If we all must make sacrifices for the cause, shouldn't these companies do the same?

Did NOT have autonomy to wage war during the aftermath of 12/7/1941.
As agregious as that attack was, one of our greastest Presidents in History still had to execise restraint and respect for the Constitution by asking Congress to declare war on an enemy.
Of all the Presidents we have had...Some great ones...Jefferson, Lincoln, Roosevelt, Kennedy...and anyone else you want to include NONE OF THEM had the same "freedom" this President has in conducting a war.
Now let me ask you...If men of infinitely superior wisdom to W.Bush didn't have the same "freedom" Bush had, then why the hell do we give this mental midget such power?
Sadly, the Democrats have their names on the YEA votes...I know I Know...they probably were sick for days afterward knowing they voted that way for political expediancy and not what was right for our nation.
And that's the problem with politics and is what made men like Paul Wellstone so valauble to the republic.

isn't that just such a crazy-way-out there idea. Taxpayers must relinquish their hard earned dollars and the blood of their children for these wars - but get one General Electric to donate some of their bombs for 'the cause' and you are called a wild-eyed commie retard.
