"The catastrophic history of WWII, if you didn't know who won eventually, would curl your hair."
Reminds me of when I was in college, doing a term paper on WWII. I thought I'd call my veteran uncle for some info.
"What can you tell me about the war?", I said.
"Well", he said, "we won."

It is the purpose of this joint resolution to fulfill the intent of the framers of the Constitution of the United States and insure that the collective judgement of both the Congress and the President will apply to the introduction of United States Armed Forces into hostilities, or into situations where imminent involvement in hostilities is clearly indicate by the circumstances, and to the continued use of such forces in hostilities or in such situations.
SEC. 2. (b) Under article I, section 8, of the Constitution, it is specifically provided that the Congress shall have the power to make all laws necessary and proper for carrying into execution, not only its own powers but also all other powers vested by the Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any department or officer thereof.
SEC. 2. (c) The constitutional powers of the President as Commander-in-Chief to introduce United States Armed Forces into hostilities, or into situations where imminent involvement in hostilities is clearly indicated by the circumstances, are exercised only pursuant to (1) a declaration of war, (2) specific statutory authorization,congressional use of force vote or (3) a national emergency created by attack upon the United States,911 its territories or possessions Saddam funding terrorits and his forces shooting at our airplanes, or its armed forces again, shooting at our SOLDIERS.
Congress did pass this law right? Congress did pass a congressional use of force resolution giving W the authority to take action right?
What is so difficult to understand here?
