Well done, Nancy

While attempting to assert the necessity of Congressional approval to start a war, she gave Our Dear Embattled Leader and his Puppetmaster Dickwahd a loophole big enough to drive a semi through.
"We don't believe that any authorities that the president has would give him the ability to go in without an act of Congress," Pelosi told ABC's "This Week" program.

"Any president, if we are attacked, if our country is attacked has -- even under the War Powers Act -- very strong powers to go after that country. But short of that, he must come to the Congress," said the top Democrat in the House of Representatives.
So now we are all set up for the "Iranian" attack on some US "Gleiwitz". And you can bet your bottom dollar that Dickwahd and Addington are pushing every button and pulling every string they have to set up just such an incident.

But, getting back to Ms. Nancy, she has apparently forgotten that we were attacked on Dec 7, 1941 and the next day one of America's real presidents went before Congress and asked for a declaration of war. And it was six months before the first real efforts to strike back began, but we all know how those efforts ended. Ms. Nancy seems to have accepted that an immediate response is more important than a legal response. And this can only be music to the ears of Our Dear Leader and his Dickwahd.
