First Mr. Monroe, let's not insult any member of Congress regardless of their position on the insane war, because it differs from yours. Everyone can have an opinion, and we can disagree with it, but insults are down in the gutter. While, I do not agree with the "Pre-emptive" strike on Iraq, the military are only doing their job, and we need to support them. You cannot compare the D-Day invasion to the "surge", because they are two different things.Japan attacked us, congress then declared was on them, and then Germany declared war on us, and Congress in turn declared war on them. There was NO official declaration of war by congress on Iraq. Hmm, I wonder why, but that is a whole other subject. D-Day was an invasion, not a surge, to drive the German Army out of France and the Lowland countries back to the German border. The "surge" as I se it was and is a way to control the extra curricular violence and bombings. It has done that to some extent. But we should not be involved in a "civil war" between tribes of people that have been at each other's throat for over a 1000 years. I also believe that Iraq has only been in existence for about 80 years. We, the US cannot be respected as a nation if we arbitraily decide to invade countries. You cannot have peace in the world at the point of a gun, and you cannot have peace in the world unless there is justice for all. From the beginning the was was insane, because there seemed to be no plan for "after invasion thought", and that is what no one who supports the war gets and admits, starting right at the top. As more comes out from people who have been in the administration, one of the main reasons for invading Iraq was oil. Oil was going to pay for the war, ha, ha, and the world would have reasonably priced oil, ha, ha. I believe at the start of the war oil was about $40-$50 a barrel, and now it is above $80. This must be a misprint.

In other words, to eliminate the office, state statute would have to be changed. The details can be found in 55 ILCS 5/3?1001.
