Description
Summary:	Shulman and Lee determine whether Pres George W. Bush must seek congressional authorization to order preemptive invasions of rogue states such as Iraq, that may deliver weapons and aid to terrorists. Under the newly promulgated preemption policy of the National Security Strategy, the president has the unilateral authority to commit US troops to Iraq, only if he can prove that such actions constitute response to a sudden attack. However, the administration has provided no evidence that Iraq had invaded or intends to invade the US.
