Same deal - "How can you live with yourself - think of those kids over there fighting for you and you can't sign a bill to get them some decent shoes?" No, congress must approve any offensive which means soldiers don't leave base without approval. "The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them." --Albert Einstein "This is still a dangerous world. It's a world of madmen and uncertainty and potential mental losses." --George W. Bush
