political links to make you mad

[juldea]

Both ratbastrd and baronbrian have posted links to news stories about the possibly delay of the presidential election because "Al Qaeda" wants to disrupt our democratic process: Yahoo, CNN.

Also, for a little bit of humor in your political angst, tlluria linked Poker with Dick Cheney.

This is seriously scary, people.

You presume that messing with the elections was the point of the attack in Spain AND that the party that won was behind the attack. There is no evidence of that. The party that won has some ties to unfriendly groups, but that group doesn't use either the tactics that were used (They warn people to get out of buildings they intend to destroy for example) or the methods (particular explosives) that were used.

And might i point out that technically the congress decides when we go to war as well? And yet Bush declared war unilaterally BEFORE going to the congress...

I don't presume anything. I base it on the statement from the terrorists that were responsible. They stated that they were changing the outcome of the election to prove that they are a force to reckon with.

Actually, congress decides if we will officially declare war. The President has the autonomy for military action for 60 days before needing approval from congress.
