..."the President is authorized to use all necessary and appropriate force against those nations, organizations, or persons he determines planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, or harbored such organizations or persons, in order to prevent any future acts of international terrorism against the United States by such nations, organizations or persons."

Seems obvious that Bush is taking this extraordinary power quite seriously. Thank God it is Bush at the helm and not some neo-socialist. These are powers that, during wartime, do not threaten our well-being, in fact they do just the opposite. If you are dead or in terror you are not free at all. If you are dead your body will be used as a leftist device to call for larger more intrusive government with socialists at the helm because Bush did such an incompetent job.

Once again, if you could eliminate Democrat politicization from the equation, and allowed terrorists to slither under the radar, for the sake of our civil liberties, I would be on board. I would be a fool. It would allow the cancer of foreign infiltration to fester and we would have to deal with the problem later, with a neo-fascist liberal steering the ship...No thanks. This dirty type of job I would rather entrust to the current socialist-lite Republicans, than to the neo-communist Democrat party.

Democrats crying foul for this perceived violation of civil rights is simple rhetoric. They never have cared for civil rights and they never will, unless it is convenient to pushing forth their big-brother government, demonizing the rich, enabling the poor and controlling every aspect of American life.
