"War Powers" give Bush the prestige he could in no way earn himself, deflects public inquiry into how he stole the presidency and will keep Americans jumpy for years...forcing all the "suspicious" ones to kiss ass so fast and furiously they'll wear their lips out and require titanium steel knee replacements. It will also drive a wedge between "good" Islam and "bad" Islam...making them all hate each other all the more.
We're beginning a long slide into a new definition of America, one the conservatives would have rather reached by other means...but then they weren't able to and were losing ground recently...and one they'll take any way they can get it.
