The only war authority the federal government is granted by the constitution is for Congress to declare war. And where the constitution is silent, the government is forbidden.

And you call others ignorant. The constitution vests the POWER to declare war in Congress. It does NOT REQUIRE congress to use that power or in what manner it is to be exercised NOR does it provide a boilerplate declaration of war to be used. The Congress gave the president it's authorization via the Iraq war resolution to take all means necessary, including war, to remove Saddam Hussein from power. Before you call others "ignorant" you may want to stop proving your own ignorance on a multitude of subjects including this one..

What are you raving about? I said, very very plainly, and I think more than once, that Bush entirely fulfilled his constitutional duties in the authorization of war. I have offered no criticism. In fact, no objection to his conduct in this regard can exist if you understand the law and the Constitution. Even the normally cowardly Congress didn't abdicate their duty this time or dump it on the executive branch.

You really can't see anything other than a love-Bush or hate-Bush thing, can you? In your mind, all political opinion is actually a binary state machine. And the object of your fixation is Bush. Constitution, rule of law, Bill of Rights, just screw 'em all. President Bush is the political center of your universe, actually may be your entire political universe. Tell me, is it really only because he's from Texas?

And I thought the Flat-Earthers had died out. But thank God for the Texans in DeLay's office.
