Several have argued that words mean nothing, that funding did the declaring.

Sure, I understand that argument and have used it on another board when arguing with some libs. However the AG is on record saying that what the congress did in a legal sense was not a declaration of war.

If that's the case and if we are under as dire a threat as people are saying then why hasn't war been declared in a legal as well as a real sense?

Declaration was not legally required. Dire threat is not the necessary reason for declaring war.
