IMHO: Someone needs to be educating the Republicans and the American people about the Constitutional Duty of the Congress. The President may send our troops anywhere, but the funding for those troops and the war must be approved by the Congress. If they agree, then they give the funding. If they do not approve, then they withhold the funding and the troops come home! The President has to keep coming back and asking for the continued funding to keep the war going and at any time, the Congress may not give the funding for it.
Today, the Repubs. were chortling over Kerry's talk on why he did not vote for the funding. The Repubs were saying, "This is the issue that we will break him and the Democrats on". They were saying that he was keeping our troops from having all the equipment they needed and soldiers died because of Kerry's vote.
Either Kerry, Dean, Clark or someone needs to be out there fighting this fire NOW! Help the American people know that these Republicans are just too stupid and un-American to understand the Constitution! Our Founding Fathers set it up this way, because a President needs to be able to act fast, but they should have to justify it to the Congress, when people have had a chance to study the situation.
How we will win this November, is if every time the Republicans tell a lie or distort facts, we jump on it immediately! They have gotten away with telling lies and never having to answer for them. No more!
