War has not been declared, therefore ... Geneva Convention rules don't exist.

Wrong on both counts. Congress has authorised the executive to conduct war and the Geneva Conventions are not exclusive to "declared wars".

Good correction. The Geneva Convention does not apply to combatants pretending to be civilians by not wearing a uniform.
