Can President Bush premptively strike Iran without getting approval from Congress first?

God knows, but he is a bit of a nutter, so who knows. :)

troops. But I believe that is limited to a relatively short period, whilst he presents facts and plans to Congress, projecting the anticipated outcome.

As I understand it, in regards to the actual �launch� of weapons of say an ICBM, that is a joint exercise which requires multiple physical acts involving a number of individuals within various departments of government and military.

Your question is an excellent one. Outside of the US, much of the world was outraged by his decision to occupy Iraq. However, within the states, it is alleged that Mr Bush took advantage of the emotion of the moment following the terrorist attack in manipulating public sentiment by using a psychologically fine-tuned script to tie Iraq to Al Qaeda.

Perhaps there�s an AB member in the states who could elaborate on this.

Bush will do whatever he is told to do by the people who are pulling his strings. As did Blair, as will Gordon Brown.9/11 was an inside job.

84% of Americans now think that it was an inside job. That it was not the planes and jet fuel that brought the twin towers down , but controlled demolition. If Bush or his masters want to go into Iran, then they will come up with something which will give them an excuse for doing so.
Iraq has oil, Iran has oil. The West want it. But they will have to deal with Pakistan first.

Where does that 84% figure come from sambro? Just curious.

No. I suspect there are some things even Bush can't touch.

China Doll - Alex Jones. I am not clever enough to do you a link, but you will find him on the internet. I am not a confirmed conspiracy theorist myself, but in think a lot of things he has to say on the subject of 9/11 are interesting.
In particular what he has to say about what he believes happened to the WTC and the Pentagon.

Has anyone told Bush starting a war with Iran is unconstitutional. They have an elected government! Or is democracy only allowed when you agree with their views?

[Goodsoulette]

Those conspiracy videos make compelling viewing though don't they. I don't believe it was an inside job at all. All their alleged theories can be easily explained. I still leave an open mind but I think its quite disrespectful to the people who died, esp the servicemen.

I dont think a war with Iran will happen as they definitely have WMD. I believe thats exactly why we went to war with IRAQ because it was known that they didnt have any.
