Soldier in ProfileLast October both Houses of Congress gave the president broad authority to execute a war on terrorism and to use force, if necessary, against Iraq. The major debates in this Congress will be about the funding and oversight of the president's plans for defending the country.
The Parties' Position
President Bush at the 2002 State of the Union"The American people need to know that we're facing a different enemy than we have ever faced. This enemy hides in shadows, and has no regard for human life. This is an enemy who preys on innocent and unsuspecting people, then runs for cover. But it won't be able to run for cover forever." -- President Bush on the War on Terrorism
More on the Republicans' Views on Foreign Policy and Security
Senator Daschle"I don't think there's any question we know that Iraq poses a serious threat to the world and especially to the region. The question now is: Is there sufficient evidence to suggest we take military action? My view is that the president has to make that case." -- Sen. Tom Daschle on Iraq
