Not to mention UN Resolution 1441.

So are you saying UN1441 gave Bush authority?

I thought the presidents authority to go to war was from Congress.

If it’s not a war, but something short of war, then the President has the authority to commit forces as Commander-in-Chief. In the past, it’s worked for us, such as Grenada; we can’t start playing Democrat and changing our minds for political convenience when it works against us.
