care what they say he is still going forward. Is this not a slap in the face for all of us who voted for a change?

It's very disturbing, but it also highlights the deficiencies of our government. The fact that he's defying Congress and the American people is bad enough, the fact that he can get away with it is even worse. We clearly cannot challenge his defiance if we limit our political action to conventional methods such as voting and writing to Congress. Public demonstrations are a start, but we need to support resisters within the armed services as well. With their help, Bush will be powerless to escalate the conflict further.

Yes, you might call it a slap in the face. But then again, what better way to get an idiot's attention.
Perhaps one day you folks will realize that President Bush does not give one hoot about polls or consensus. He does however, care greatly about america, it's security and safety.Un-like you, he will not sell us out for a political opinion.
No way will he cut and run as so many of you."Slap in the face?" I'm all for him kicking you below the belt if that's what it takes to get your attention.

I don't recall any Congressional mandate for the president to do anything with Iraq or any other current situation. I have heard a bunch of winers the Senate and Congress but not mandate. There has to be some sort of mandate in order to defy something. He is apparently defying the will of the people but since we are not a democracy that doesn't really make any difference to him at least.

No, believe it or not it's nothing personal. It's called making a decision and following through. He knew where he was going long before the great election of change came about. Why go backward? And why give into a congress and senate when they're basing their actions on a "we'll show him" attitude, and not what's in the best interest of the rest of the world?

He is the Commander in Chief...The President of the US...He does not, by law, need the OK of the Congress or Senate when it comes to placing Troops.
It is up the them, to continue the financial support.....The Libs would be bigger loser, than they already are, if they were to cut off support......

Ha. Nothing about what he does or says surprises me anymore. What surprises me is that some people still support him - after 6 years of this.
