Fact: Congress began to draft a real declaration of war on September 12, and was asked by the administration to drop the measure.

An open ended "use of force" resolution is not a congressional declaration of war, no matter how many times you say it.

You are attempting to rewrite history and you're doing it in the wrong place. People around here have a better memory than most of the sheeple, and we're going to call every history revision we see. You would do well to remember that.

Thanks for the advice....

However, I can see with my own eyes that a State of War exists, and that the Congress approved the use of military force. I am sick of people saying "we're not at war".

BullPuckie ... Some of you'se folks just don't get it..We ARE At War..We didn't ask for it, we didn't want it, but we will shur as the hell fight it wherever and whenever we can. Some are just tired alread and it has only really begun. The Middle East has been the source of all too mnaytragedies for this nation and now we are seeing folks in here who want to stick their heads in the Constitution and lawbooks and let our enemies have their way.

Way to go , Guys, Let go of the Constitution, It isn' bullet-proof.

This is why the War Powers Act is such a sore spot for so many.

The unanswerable question: What was so hard about declaring war the way the Constitution spells out?

Anytime the government does not follow the constitution by the letter, and makes up some specious argument to get to the same end without following the constitution, we must be very wary.
