Basically remove them responsibly and put more troops into Afghanistan is the general idea

ok girls

Redwhateveryournameis; the way he structured the sentence was "All americans vote for obama" If he was saying to all americans, to vote for obama it would be been constructed like this; "All americans, vote for obama"


Alex; presidents can't declare war, can they? it needs to go through congress from what im aware.

Alex; The war in iraq shouldnt stop, as thats basically saying "HEY WE CAN INVADE YOU, then we get a ***** presidents so we're out BYEEEE" That shows weakness, the war in iraq was for a reason, didn't obama even say that the war in iraq wasn't pointless?

Presidents cannot declare war.. they can send in troops for no more then 60 days..

Then congress votes on whether or not to leave them there.. or bring them all home.

Ah kai..

Ah kai..

Yeah it's confusing.. unless he made an executive order/decision which bypasses congress.. but then that would be reviewed by the supreme court under judicial review..

I think the idea was all Americas- ie, if you're a true patriotic american you will vote for Obama, but I'm not too sure on that.

Declaring war I'm not sure about.. the president is the command in chief so surely could declare if he so choosed too.

It's not showing weakness atall, we have removed a cruel dictator, that was one of the only good things about it really.. it was pointless to go in, there were no evidence for WMD's, although Saddam was a cruel, vindictive man the costs of going after him and fighting in that area, plus the lives of american and british soldiers. It's quite a price for a man who will eventually fade away like every other dictator has done in the past.

Like I said above:

The president of the United States has no clear constitutional authority to declare war without congressional approval. However, the U.S. Supreme Court has determined that the president, as commander-in-chief of the military, does have the authority to recognize a "state of war" initiated against the United States and may in these circumstances unilaterally send U.S. troops into battle.

Wasn't technically an arguement, he's just telling me how the US declaring of war works, which i didn't know

At the rep you gave me, no i wasn't wrong, as i asked the question "Alex; presidents can't declare war, can they? it needs to go through congress from what im aware."
