Hill to Bush: your war deauthorized

Hillary Clinton and the esteemed Robert Byrd have come up with a new way to combat the administration on Iraq: very simply, they've written a bill stating that the Senate's ill-advised authorization to invade in October 2002 shall expire after five years.

It postures the Seante as a deciding body again (since they blew it the first time) and means the administration can't talk about "pullouts" and "artificial timetables" without a measure of responsibility.

A five year old and stinky Red Herring to Congress, for rolling over doggystyle in the first place. But, this represents the best in election year maneuvering, if you ask me. It actually holds both sides more accountable.
