While congress issued The "Use of force", it did not authorise "War". This is what gets the libs in their panties. Without a declaration of war we do not have to follow the Geneva Conventions, which we are anyways.

An authorization for the use of force is a de facto declaration of war. The US Constitution is silent on themethods of declaring war. Congress could just as easily issue a one sentence statement, to wit, "Kick Iraq's collective ass." and that would be a declaration of war as well.

I get sick of this....Ask anyone in America now why we went to "War" and see if they mention U.N. Resolution 1441?

Hey, I get sick of people reading anything they want into the constitution. Why don't you read me the prescribed methods for "declaring war" in that document?
