We certainly are at war. It is the War on Terror. You want some more words spoken before you will allow the War on Terror to be real? Then you will authenticate the War on Terror? Our brave military has already authenticated the War on Terror and are doing a great job of winning it also. They've done it all without your permission.
Why in the hell do people continue to elect this vile human and others like him? Seriously! Can somebody explain?
Yes, we're at war because we were attacked. We're also not at war because Congress hasn't declared war. Things are confused and they can't be cleared up by your declaring we're at war because you don't have Constitutional standing to do so. Neither does the President. Neither do the Courts. Until Congress says the words explicitly we are not at war legally, however much we may be in fact.
