Did Congre$$ tell Bill Clinton to wage war in the 90s when embassies were blown up? Did Congre$$ ask Bill Clinton to wage war when the USS Cole was bombed?
And now, that we have been attacked on our own soil, Congre$$ wanted to declare war but was asked not to. It seems something doesn't jibe depending on who is in power and whose ax is being sharpened.
Bush shows resolve and all the Constitution supporters and War Powers foes cry Foul. I love it .. Hypocrisy? Maybe...
Either way, The terrorists will keep coming. This argument is a mute point.

Congre$$ wanted to declare war but was asked not to. True. The administration asked them not to. Have you asked yourself why they did that?

No. By failing to do their duty, the allowed Clinton to bomb aspirin factories instead of defending this nation. This "war" did not begin on September 11. Our enemies have been working very hard at provoking us into war, knowing that we are very powerful and would probably abuse that power during a declared war.
We should have declared war against any nation enabling those who have attacked us.
