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.

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?
