For the Love of God, can somebody use a Shephard's Crook on this Act?

Censure, schmensure. Damned right I support it and the Dems in the Senate should stop being fuckin' douches and damn the torpedoes.

What it doesn't do is matter one fucking iota to the benefit of the GOP. Spin, spin, spin away Right-Wing douchebags, it doesn't fix your problems at all. Not when President Lying, Incompetent, Idiot is in charge.

For example:

President Bush plans to issue a new national security strategy today reaffirming his doctrine of preemptive war against terrorists and hostile states with chemical, biological or nuclear weapons, despite the troubled experience in Iraq...

...The preemption doctrine generated fierce debate at the time, and many critics believe the failure to find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq fatally undermined an essential assumption of the strategy -- that intelligence about an enemy's capabilities and intentions can be sufficient to justify preventive war.

In his revised version, Bush offers no second thoughts about the preemption policy, saying it "remains the same" and defending it as necessary for a country in the "early years of a long struggle" akin to the Cold War. In a nod to critics in Europe, the document places a greater emphasis on working with allies and declares diplomacy to be "our strong preference" in tackling the threat of weapons of mass destruction.

"If necessary, however, under long-standing principles of self defense, we do not rule out use of force before attacks occur, even if uncertainty remains as to the time and place of the enemy's attack," the document continues. "When the consequences of an attack with WMD are potentially so devastating, we cannot afford to stand idly by as grave dangers materialize."

Such language could be seen as provocative at a time when the United States and its European allies have brought Iran before the U.N. Security Council to answer allegations that it is secretly developing nuclear weapons. At a news conference in January, Bush described an Iran with nuclear arms as a "grave threat to the security of the world."


They are going to be rattling the saber. Another "mushroom cloud" reference.

It's going to be a long Spring and Summer, the Year of Wankery.
