Just making sure I understand what you're saying.  We're using the
military to follow up on a war declaration.  You're right.  That's so
wrong.

The reason I ask is because they _claim_ some of that information is
sensitive to the operation.  I think it's possible that that's a bunch
of crap, but I also think it's possible that it's true.

Quoting you:

  There was a pathetic joint resolution purporting to declare a state
  of war between the USA and "(1) any entity that committed the acts
  of international terrorism against the United States on September
  11, 2001; (2) any country or entity that has provided support or
  protection for any entity described in paragraph 1; (3) any entity
  that commits any other acts of international terrorism against the
  United States or its territories, possessions, or installations; and
  (4) any country or entity that provides support or protection for
  any entity described in paragraph (3)."

That war.  Other than you calling it pathetic, I have honestly yet to
hear why that doesn't qualify as war.

Oh, how cute.  I pissed off Rick Moen to the point where he can't tell
when I agree with him.  That's precious.
