handful of commanders-in-chief
i read this interesting although highly skewed op-ed piece in the WSJ today about congress wanting to thwart the presidents efforts to send more troops to iraq. constitutionally, the president has the power not the congress to decide this matter. but the author of the 0p-ed was terribly mis-leading in stating that various senators who are backing a non-binding resolution to halt any further troop surges originally voted in favor of the war and are now backing out because it can't be won. well yes, many of those in congress and the general public supported and backed the effort to invade iraq BECAUSE the nation was lied to and we all thought there were WMD's in iraq. obviously that was not the case and now that these senators and reps. know they were lied to they want to stop any further spending of american dollars and lives!
