I still think that a Free Republic in which Congress had to declare WAR would be more likely to result in the political will to win a war once declared.

And I believe you are putting far too much emphasis on a figure of speech. Congress voted to give the President the powers of war, even though they never made a formal declaration.
Now, how much of this was oversight, or how much was political expediency on the part of the Democrats? And regardless of a figure of speech, is it right and proper for we as Americans to display such irresolution once we have committed our forces, irresolution obvious both to the men and women who are sacrificing for us AND to the enemy who wants to destroy our way of life? NO. ABSOLUTELY NO!!!
You and Ron Paul can argue semantics, phraseology, the meaning of 'is', whatever. But you are doing significant harm to this nation and it's fighting forces. For that, I hold nothing but disgust.
Goodnight!
