Ahh, you man Barry! I would hate it if people referred to me by my middle name. But then, I guess that's the point, isn't it?


I'm sure your middle name isn't a Muslim holy name.



My middle name is French, my sons middle name is Irish, my daughters middle name is Welsh


none of this has any significance other than as a reference to what I wanted their name to be, and I personally chose the names based upon their MEANINGS and not their link to any nation or religion


hussein in ARABIC means small handsome one

Like it's pointed out on several occasions.

A president can't act alone Congress has to approve a war or invasion.

At least, that's the excuse given every time Hussein makes a plan or promise.laugh laugh laugh smokin


thats true too, the only exclusive power our presidents have are vetos and pardons

anything else is a collaboration with congress, involving constant negotiation and compromise ,,,far from a dictatorship

You've neglected the Executive Order from your list of direct presidential powers. Originally it wasn't that tyrannical, but it became much more so as time went on. (also, thought it isn't likely, it is technically possible that a president could pack the supreme court again, as FDR did)

pack the supreme court again, as FDR did
As I think I read, he tried, but was unsuccessful.

True, but I was just throwing it out there as a possibility. :thumbsup:

The former Presidentdecided to cancel a planned trip to Switzerland. The article cites two reason. The fear of protest demonstrations and a move to have him arrested as a war criminal. Bush has never been squeamish about being protested, so I'm guessing that it's the threat of arrest that worries him.


LOL

I said this was going to happen when they started their protests of him in other countries. Maybe we should hand him over as a show of good faith and it will probably end all of our illegal wars.

In this case it was fabrication of intelligence reports and just plain outright lies.
