That would be like me asking to investigate somebody's property for one reason, but having ULTERIOR motives for doing so.
Really?!?!?...

The Constitution says that?...I'd really like you to show me that one...PLEASE tell me where it says anything close to "The president has the authority to go to war, but ONLY for certain reasons...

After all, Congress answers to the people, and if "the President" had an ulterior motive for going to war that was not relayed to the people, isn't that quite a bit worse than simply lying about a blow-job?
Bullshit...

You can't name ONE ulterior motive for the war in Iraq...Please leave the conspiracy theories to Oliver Stone...
