Congress, the appendix of Government

With the upcoming surrender on telecom amnesty by Yellow Leg Democrats, the Bushoviks are really feeling their oats. Why else would they have one of their minions decalre that Congress is irrelevant, in Congress!
The Bush administration says the 2002 congressional authorization to go to war in Iraq gives it the authority to conduct combat operations in Iraq and negotiate far-reaching agreements with the current Iraqi government without consulting Congress.

The assertion, jointly made Tuesday by U.S. Ambassador David Satterfield and Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Affairs Mary Beth Long, drew an incredulous reaction from Democrats on a Joint House committee during a hearing on future U.S. commitments to Iraq.

“It's the view of the administration that as long as there’s trouble in Iraq that you have authorization of this Congress to continue there in perpetuity and define trouble as you desire?” asked Rep. Gary Ackerman, D-N.Y.

“We have authorization to defend the national security of the United States against the continuing threat posed by Iraq,” Satterfield replied. “The situation in Iraq continues to present a threat to the United States.
That is the essence of Bushovism in a nutshell, if we define it, it exists. And its corollary, you don't exist in our world. The perfect explanation why no Republican should be left standing after Election Day.

Well put! We are so screwed.
