First off, if we attack Iran won't we be in violation of the Algiers Accords? We are not to intervene in Iranian internal affairs.

Pelosi forgot all about the 1973 War Powers Act

The act doesn't trump the constitution, which says congress declares war.

With any luck, Iran will provoke an incident that will make this all a mute point. One can only hope.

So you hope Iran attacks someone and people are killed? Awful nice of you. How about just hoping for peace.

What if all we heard out of Iraq from the insurgent leadership was that they don't think they can win? That polls show the war is unpopular? That they need to get out of Iraq with a definite timetable? Would we be having this conversation or would we be the ones stepping up our strategy to reinforce that notion? Does logic and human nature fail you that much?

So you are saying we should appease the enemy, or make our plans based on what they think?

You're not a hypocrite for going against the war after you voted for it, because it was the President and his party who conducted it

Thats not really the point though. Most are against the war on principle from the beginning, not because of how it was run.

We can win.

Bushiepoo is gonna end thousands of years of middle eastern in-fighting? Oh please tell me how.

We can't 'win'.

You liberals always say we should not repeat the mistakes of Vietnam.

Oh my god, not another person defending the vietnam conflict......

So you are saying that even if a war was a mistake, we should continue being the bad guys and keep fighting just so we won't 'lose'? By just being there we are losers.
