Another War We Don't Intend To Win

Once again, President Bush is lying to the American people, the people he's supposed to be representing, and trying to persuade us into consenting to another war, whether by actual consent or the consent of silence and inaction. We can't let him pull us into Iran when he's known for months, and now we all know as well, that Iran disabled their nuclear weapons program years ago. This fact (as well as his knowledge of this fact for the last few months) has been acknowledged by his own National Security Adviser. It is not alright that our president continuously lies to us about such consequential things as this. We cannot afford another war, and most in this country do not want it. We have to let our president know that his bid for war will not be supported by us, twist facts as he may. It's imperative that our congress should stand up against the war-mongering duo, since the people have elected them to speak for their constituents, not sit idly by. President Bush has no authority to wage war against Iran, but he will if we say nothing.

The president shouldn't have power to start and wage war...Congress needs to end the tradition of not voting on war and allowing the president to do this unless there is an immediate threat, which must be revealed to congress before going to war. I am tired of this no formal declaration of war shit. And while we are add it, we should create an amendment that we can't go to war with conceptual ideas. War on drugs, war on terror. It doesn't any sense. They should call it, enforcement-of-a-problem-that-we-will-throw-a-ridiculous-amount-of-money-at-and-never-solve-or-have-any-real-goals. Isn't that what committees were for?
