However, Bush et al. never come out and say "I'm going to invade this country" and then do it the next day. They start with innocuous looking things like this. Then, the next step is just a little easier to take, so they go along with a little more. And on and on and on.

This is greasing the skids for something like the IWR. "After all, it's been the Sense of the Senate for months now, and Iran's still a threat, right? Maybe we need to give the President the power to cope with the threat. Doesn't mean he'll actually do it."

Remember IWR passed in October, but we didn't invade until mid-March. I think we need to draw a line in the sand now.

I called DiFi and told the nice young lady that if DiFi ever voted for anything like this again, she'd lose my vote FOREVER. I think she (and others of her ilk) need to get The Sense of the Electorate.
