Yet another LIBERAL CrackPot.

lol

Jefferson unilaterally spent public funds to double the size of the country. Jackson defied the Supreme Court and told them to go ahead and try to enforce their orders. Lincoln suspended habeus corpus. Wilson widely curtailed free speech.

I’m not sure GWB has done anything on a comparable scale.

Disagree. Signing statements assert that no matter what Congress does, he does what he wants. (Had there been just ONE signing statement, or even a few linked around a particular topic, it would better match the list above).

That's like saying that we had explosions before 1945, so the nuclear bomb was no big deal.

These same Generals fought against the Serbian War as President Clinton sent in our troops to remove Malosavich.

They retired during the Gulf War in which they disaproved of the attack on Iraq.

Not one of these Generals ever saw a conflict during their years of service.
Each and every General served in the Pentagon and saw desk duty.
It is just politics.

They wait for the courts to order them to stop. I don’t like it but it ain’t exactly new.

Ah, but what happens when you pack the courts with conservative judges, and then quietly fire any prosecutors likely to even bring cases against you _to_ the courts in the first place?

And it may not be new, but if Bush is shown to actually be taking actions in violation of passed laws, based solely on his signing statements, it's still a crisis for any free society...

Presidents have, since George Washington, asserted inherent powers and otherwise pushed the envelope on separation of powers. They wait for the courts to order them to stop. I don't like it but it ain't exactly new.

Two words: signing statements.

I love it!

It's a shorthand evaluation of his public policy. But there's no ban on attacking politicians on the site, merely attacking posters and other commenters. If the attacks are so extreme as to amount to trollishness, or are random spam unrelated to the topic under discussion, then they are in violation of other policies.

Right. And before the Iraq War, after Bush had already decided to attack Iraq, he was telling the public that war was his last resort, etc.

Your first comment had several hyperlinks and was caught in the spam filter; it's released now.

I'm not sure why a subordinate's decision to resign would be cause for impeachment. If true, Pace is the senior military adviser and, certainly, a big fish. He is not, however, the elected commander-in-chief nor is the president required to follow his orders.

Again, I don't support war with Iran with the information we've got now, nor do I think the administration wants it either. But the president's deciding otherwise certainly would not constitute a high crime or misdemeanor.

So, these whining generals - who BTW shouldn't be polishing their medals over Iraq - decide to undercut (ANONOMOUSLY) that policy, because they don't LIKE it..aawww, that's real sad.

That's guts and military tradition for you.
A loyal honest man would quietly resign.

IF this IS a true story, these generals are just punk-ass bitches.
