Governor Richardson knows that Senator Clinton has been clear and consistent: If George Bush has not ended the war in Iraq, she will, [Clinton spokesman Howard] Wolfson said.

I would suggest respectfully to the president that he is not the sole decider, stanley thermos mug Sen. Arlen Specter said during a hearing on Congress war powers amid an increasingly harsh debate over Iraq war policy.

No one challenges the notion that Congress can stop a war by canceling its funding.
