That is not a Declaration of War, Luis.

Also, it wasn't renewed at the end of eight months, as required by the War Powers Act.

Answer the question you have been dodging all along. Show me the provision in the constitution that impedes Congress from authorizing the use of the US Military in anything other than a declared war.

And then, show me the reasoning you are using to arrive at the consclusion that whatever we're doing in Afghanistan has reached a satisfactory conclusion. Including the continuing search for bin Laden and the remmants of Al Queda.

Your simple allegation that "it's over" isn't sufficient.
