The Constitution says our president is responsible for the defense of the Constitution. Why does Paul want to rely on U.N. reports?

The Constitution states that Congress is responsible for declaring war, not the President. Until detailed U.S. reports are made available to Congress Paul will have to make do with what is available. In other words he doesn't just take the word of the Administration, unlike many sheeples on this site.

Show me where the Constitution says the president may not defend this country without a declaration of war frm Congress.

No it does NOT. It only gives the Congress the power to do so and Congress can exercise that POWER in any way it deems appropriate which means it can authorize the President to take military action via an authorizing statute.
