I believe it far worse than just trying to make political hay.
If we have to go to war again the whole world will question us vehemently perhaps to the point of stopping any necessary action we need to take.
They didn't question clinton about any of the illegal invasions of actions he took. Kosovo was illegal. He didn't even talk to congress before attacking a country that was not even a threat to it's neighbors let alone us. He went past the war powers limit of 60 days without getting congressional approval. He bombed civilian targets. Even the Chinese embassy.
They didn't raise an eyebrow.
Now the questions and furor they raise are dangerous to our safety.
Do they care?

Some of us may remember that a number of GOP Congressmen actually filed suit against the Clinton administration in that case, on the grounds that the War Powers Act had been violated.
The suit was thrown out of Federal court, and it's hard to argue with the judge's rationale. He basically said that Congress passed some kind of idiotic "we support the troops" legislation with regard to the troops in the Balkans, and he (the Federal judge) had no way of knowing (and no legal authority to determine) whether that kind of half-assed Congressional resolution amounted to a formal declaration of war.
