anyway for the new pres I will go with Mcain Guliani or Fred Thomason

all the dem canidates are either coo-coo or just power hungry and dont really care about the American People or America.

If I had to choose a dem, it would be Obama because you can see in his eyes that he cares for America and is not only interested in his own selfish promotion without care of anything else before that.

however I dont think he is expirianced enough and I also dont agree with increasing taxes and having big government trying to tell me how to wipe my ass & how many sheets of TP i can use, or try to control me by giving me entitlements as well as to life time crack dealers & just plain old lazy people who dont want to work so they get thier "babymommas" to be on welfare while they spend all the goodies and suppliment by robbin and dealin.

fuck all that.

Im trying to feed my family while these fucks are taking 40% of my salary and giving it to these motherfuckers who are gaming the system when the people who really should be getting it are the single abandoned moms who actually have enough honor and are too humble to take it so they work like slaves to raise thier kids alone.

while Hillary sits there at her town hall mettings spewing her bullshit to everyone. watch the way the wind blows, i promise you she goes where ever it goes, man its gonna be fun to watch all her flip floping be documented in the national election

fucking power hungry hor

Whereas Iraq is in material breach of its disarmament and
other obligations under United Nations Security Council
Resolution 687, to cease repression of its civilian
population that threatens international peace and security
under United Nations Security Council Resolution 688, and to
cease threatening its neighbors or United Nations operations
in Iraq under United Nations Security Council Resolution 949,
and United Nations Security Council Resolution 678 authorizes
use of all necessary means to compel Iraq to comply with
these ``subsequent relevant resolutions;''
Whereas Congress in the Authorization for Use of Military
Force Against Iraq Resolution (Public Law 102-1) has
authorized the President to use the Armed Forces of the
United States to achieve full implementation of Security
Council Resolutions 660, 661, 662, 664, 665, 666, 667, 669,
670, 674, and 677, pursuant to Security Council Resolution
678;
Whereas Congress in section 1095 of Public Law 102-190 has
stated that it ``supports the use of all necessary means to
achieve the goals of Security Council Resolution 687 as being
consistent with the Authorization for Use of Military Force
Against Iraq (Public Law 102-1),'' that Iraq's repression of
its civilian population violates United Nations Security
Council Resolution 688 and ``constitutes a continuing threat
to the peace, security, and stability of the Persian Gulf
region,'' and that Congress ``supports the use of all
necessary means to achieve the goals of Resolution 688'';
Whereas Congress in the Iraq Liberation Act (Public Law
105-33 has expressed its sense that it should be the policy
of the United States to support efforts to remove from power
the current Iraqi regime and promote the emergence of a
democratic government to replace that regime;
Whereas the President has authority under the Constitution
to take action in order to deter and prevent acts of
international terrorism against the United States, as
Congress recognized in the joint resolution on Authorization
for Use of Military Force (Public Law 107-40); and
Whereas the President has authority under the Constitution
to use force in order to defend the national security
interests of the United States: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This joint resolution may be cited as the ``Further
Resolution on Iraq''.

SEC. 2. AUTHORIZATION FOR USE OF UNITED STATES ARMED FORCES.

The President is authorized to use all means that he
determines to be appropriate, including force, in order to
enforce the United Nations Security Council Resolutions
referenced above, defend the national security interests of
the United States against the threat posed by Iraq, and
restore international peace and security in the region.

Mr. MURKOWSKI. This contains a number of ``whereas's.'' It is
transmitted by the Assistant to the President for Legislative Affairs
and the Counsel to the President. At the conclusion of the resolution
that is going to be before this body is a joint resolution cited as
``Further Resolution on Iraq.'' I will read the ``resolved'' portion:

The President is authorized to use all means that he
determines to be appropriate, including force, in order to
enforce United Nations Security Council Resolutions
referenced above, defend the national security interests of
the United States against the threat posed by Iraq, and
restore international peace and security in the region.
