"I don’t give a goddamn," Bush retorted. "I’m the President and the Commander-in-Chief. Do it my way."

"Mr. President," one aide in the meeting said. "There is a valid case that the provisions in this law undermine the Constitution."

"Stop throwing the Constitution in my face," Bush screamed back. "It’s just a goddamned piece of paper!"

The Raw Story | Britain feared US would 'nuke' Afghanistan: ex-diplomat

The Raw Story | Britain feared US would 'nuke' Afghanistan: ex-diplomat: "Britain joined the United States' invasion to oust the Taliban in 2001 because it feared America would 'nuke the shit' out of Afghanistan, the former British ambassador to Washington reportedly told a television documentary to be screened Saturday.

In comments printed in advance in the Daily Mirror tabloid on Monday, Christopher Meyer said that fear explained why Prime Minister Tony Blair chose to stand with US President George W. Bush in his decision to invade Afghanistan in the immediate aftermath of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks -- to temper his aggressive battle plans."

This is funny, Britain was just there to be our conscience. Well, they did a really lousy job... I would not have put it past this administration to nuke the entire country over Bin Laden.
