What would Benjamin Franklin think of President Bush's assertion that he has the inherent power - even without a declaration of war by the Congress - to launch an invasion of any nation on Earth, at any time he chooses, for any reason he wishes, even if that nation poses no imminent threat to the United States.

Isn't that what Clinton did to Serbia?
Didn't President Bush get a declaration of war by Congress?
Sounds like GoreBore would like to rewrite history.
