And for all the grief I give GWB on Iraq he did actually go to Congress for Authorization

True. But that authorization was less due to the strength of GWB’s argument, and more due to the cowardice of Congress. Congress was scared of taking a stand, and perhaps being wrong. So they transferred their war-making power to W.
We saw the same thing with LBJ and the Golf of Tonkin resolution.
As much as I despise LBJ, I despise W more. W had all of LBJ’s Vietnam mistakes right before him. Yet W repeated them all.
(Sorry for the rant. Insomnia does that to me.)
