Do You Want a Blank Check to Authorize a First Strike

In the end, there's no way that you could look at all this intelligence and conclude that it was sufficien proof of anything. This intelligence did not mean anything unless you already wanted to go to war. And as we mentioned, the anti war movement had been turning up the heat, not only in america, but all over the world. But the us. Congress doesn't run on protests. By mid october, it goes to madam speaker. I i yield five minutes to the gentle lady from california so this blank chek to authorize a first strike will not restore peace and security.
