Again - It is unquestionable that the Oct 2002 vote was a Congressional authorization for the President to use force.
In simple terms, that is known as war.

That's like saying that shacking up is the same as getting married. You can say it all you like, but that doesn't make it true.

Actually, a formal declaration of war would be a committment that could NOT be revoked or "defunded" until an actual VICTORY was in hand. A "resolution" is only good for so long as Congress doesn't lose its resolve.

Oh, by the way, since Dubya DID say we'd "won," why ARE the troops still there?
