Hey! No takebacks!
Feb. 23rd, 2007 08:16 amMy first response at this news:
"Four years ago, Congress passed legislation authorizing
President Bush to go to war in
Iraq. Now Senate Democrats want to take it back."
I was furious when they authorized it to begin with (don't know if I'll ever forgive John Kerry, who was certainly not representing me. I called his office repeatedly before the authorization vote) but it will be interesting to see what sort of legal precedent it sets if they do it.
Still - didn't they ever play games when they were kids? No takebacks. No do-overs. We don't have time machines enabling us to fix past mistakes, and the blood of folks on both sides is still going to be on their hands.
