edit: But Bush has an obligation to abide by Constitutional and international law. He is not permitted to circumvent either regardless of how noble he believes the "cause" to be. He does not have the power or authority to circumvent Congress, obviously. Our system includes "checks & balances" to assure one Branch of gov does to become too powerful.
He is Commander in Chief of the greatest and only remaining Super Power, with the mightiest arsenal of weapons known to man. We have the ULTIMATE WMD!! There has to be controls. The international community must assure those controls work. Ours is a system of checks & balances. Americans must insist the system works, honestly and properly. We are an integral part of the system and have a responsibility to the system. Bush answers to Congress and the American people. He is responsible for the veracity and accuracy of info he presents. The system is only as good as the info that it is provided.
Why is it that anyone who questions gov or the Bush Admin is automatically deemed a "Bush basher" or worse -- "unpatriotic" or "un-American" ??? If the Bush Admin lied, embellished or was reckless with info provided, they are the ones who have been "unpatriotic" or "un-American".... Can we at least agree on that??
