get involved in these enless wars. ro is on the democratic said and i m on the republican side. recent reporting in the hill showed that by a margin of 2 to 1 americans favored diplomacy and negotiation over war. again, what the ro and i are proposing not to lay our arms down and make victims or targets out of service members, of course the president would have the ability to defend our country and allies and troops. we don t believe that any president should lurch into a decades-long war in the absence of approval of congress. neil: what constitutes lurching? if the president was to respond and he was minutes away before cancelling a planned attack in response to the downing of our unmanned drone, would that have passed muster with you? would he have been justified in doing that? it would have been a mistake
