LOTR- Battle at the Black Gate-Aragorn Speech in Audio -DEMS-FILIBUSTER
http://www.americanrhetoric.com/MovieSpeeches/moviespeechreturnoftheking.html

Hold your ground! Hold your ground!

Sons of Gondor, of Rohan, my brothers,

I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me.

A day may come when the courage of men fails,

when we forsake our friends

and break all bonds of fellowship,

but it is not this day.

An hour of wolves and shattered shields,

when the age of men comes crashing down,

but it is not this day!

This day we fight!!

By all that you hold dear on this good Earth,

I bid you stand, Men of the West!!!

1. Lord Sauron speaks of SOTU on Jan 31st
All is not lost, remember, Congress passed the foul language 'giving' Bush the overreaching powers he now unlawfully claims

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=2382761

in the Sept 14, 2001 AUMF and in the Oct 2, 2002 AUMF (for Iraq).

The words "...as he (Bush) determines..." unconstitutionally designated HIS determination of what the truth is in place of Congress, as the War Powers Act of 1973 clearly shows. This all has to be straightened out. Hopefully an '06 Congress with Dem majority can revisit the offending language and clarify/amend or repeal.
