My Congressman John Culberson disagrees. He said in my presence that he would have preferred a declaration of war, but that the Bush administration told him that a declaration of war would require certain actions which they did not want to take, such as closing the border, not trading with certain countries giving aid or trading with Iraq, and others things that I don't remember.

You can take that up with Culberson and many other conservatives who feel the same way.

Unless he provides specifics as to why he claims war was not declared, i.e. specific language in the constitution that says certain words must be used, your congressman is all wet.

Culberson isn't my congressman, so I won't be taking anything up with him. I have 'taken it up' with other 'conservatives' who believe as he does, and none have been able to provide constitutional backing for their claims.
