That the president is authorized to use all necessary and appropriate force against those nations, organizations, or persons he determines planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on Sept. 11, 2001, or harbored such organizations or persons, in order to prevent any future acts of international terrorism against the United States by such nations, organizations or persons.

Seems pretty clear to me that we are at war and Bush can act as necessary to defend our nation and its interests. All the flag haters and undercover liebral radicals are coming out from under their rocks. That is the sad part to see so many supposed american citizens act like our country is the enemy and the root of all evil in the world today. It does draw some clear battle lines. Congre$$ skrews up and does the right thing sometimes.. Ok, Not Often, but this is clear.. We ARE At War.

What standard do you use to decide when this "war" ends? If your answer is "when terrorism is eliminated" (an impossibly utopian goal) then the expanded powers of the imperial presidency (including those exercised by future Presidents Hillary Clinton and Al Gore) will be eternal won't it?
