Remind people of facts.
Right. And Disneydude's facts do not support you.

Obama smart. Bush dumb.
It comes down to that.
Oh really? When did Iraq attack the United States?
When did Afghanistan, Syria or Iran? What's your point?
My point is clear. The War powers act does not authorize a President to use military force without approval of congress except in cases where the the military force is in direct response to an attack on the United States. Obama is doing the right thing.
Personally, I don't think that we SHOULD attack Syria. However, under the war powers act, The United States can attack a country with approval from congress. A President just cannot make the unilaterally decision to do so.Almost. Since Syria hasn't attacked us, hasn't presented any imminent threat to attack us, there's no point in asking congress for approval.

Really? when did Bosnia (Clinton) and Iraq (Bush attack us? Did I :miss that?The "emergency" MUST be us getting attacked, or imminent threat of us being attacked. When has that criteria been met?
Maybe yours, not mine.Well, we in the sense of Obama acting on Americans collective behalf ...

Remember, we'll have to write the [revisionist] history books before we can know what will be in them.Carter handed Iran to the mullahs
Clinton bombed the wrong side
Obammer is siding with the wrong side
I mean folks c'mon these guys can't get it wrong 100% of the time by accident!
When did Bosnia Clinton) attack the U.S.? You are trying to have it both ways.
Did your hero Clinton do the right thing in Bosnia?
#@*@@@*!!!!

No I'm not. I already said that both Bush and Clinton violated the War Powers Act. I guess you missed that.
Finally....a response of yours that actually makes sense.
Hmmm... and whoever wins the vote would have the requisite 51% mandate to write the events as they see fit; ideally before they even happen.Perhaps a vote can be taken on the truth of historical events but only if it's just a general sense of what they might cover. That should satisfy 51% of the people.
