Get back to me when you understand what a United States Congressional Declaration of War is.
Believe me I did not miss that. War was declared on us by the terrorists .. But the Congress never "officially" declared war .. the Dems did not want to give the President the full powers

And you'll notice the original question made no mention at all of Congress. :-)
