Robert C. Byrd: “Our country's openness, its diversity, its freedoms, and its values are in large measure the target of our terrorist…”

It seems to me that we ought to at least bow to the Constitution as we enter into this temple of the destructive doctrine of first strike.

the doctrine of preemption says that one man, the President, shall have power to declare war.

I am profoundly worried that the President may have a hidden agenda for dealing with Iran and Syria.

Doesn't this send a signal to the Iraqi people and to the American people that the United States intends to have a large permanent presence there?
