OK, Maybe Bush Was Right About The War
On the aircraft carrier when he said we had won. Let's say he was right. There were a few terrorists in the US before 9/11, but the event itself got rid of most of them and we caught a few more. There were more in Afghanistan but our military killed a lot of them and the rest disbanded.

So Bush was right, we won. The war's over. The war power's Congress so mistakenly gave him are now expired. Back to normal. Since the day of his declaration he has had no authority for his use of war-powers provisions.

Oh, and this: a war that was begun without the precedent paperwork (A specific and written act of Congress) of a Declaration of War should not require a written treaty to end it.

Seems to me .....

2. There is no war on terror, there were no WMD's,
This is no longer a democracy or even a republic. Since VietNam, they do what they want, when they want.

5. A war without an enemy
Basically, *'s war is against anyone who disagrees with this administration.
It's ridiculous to keep hearing the admin's spokesman remind us that "we're at war".
We created this "war" for PR purposes.
