I think the whole point is, in a nutshell, had W asked for and obtained a proper declaration of war he would have had to invoke most, if not all, of the wartime laws which, among other things, would have required CLOSING THE BORDERS. Also, the laws regarding giving aid and comfort to the enemy would have come into play and a lot of Code Pinkos would now be in prison. Travel restrictions would have kept Pelosi from her suck-up trip to Syria and ITS terrorist supporting regime. We would have had to become energy independent as we would not be importing oil from enemy nations or regions and the Saudis would be on notice that they were not supposed to harbor terrorists and their wahabbi-ist enablers and recruiters. The Rats in Congress would not be able to waffle as they are now doing. And, in all likelihood, we would have brought the war to a QUICK successful conclusion. We would not be in the nation-building business, as Bush promised prior to his election he would NOT be doing. I think THAT’S the point... but then what do I know? I’m just a dumbass old mud Marine...
Thanks for your response, but I was hoping for an answer for the guy who authored this thread.
I find that the Paulywogs are fond of screeching that the Iraq war was undeclared, but never seem to say what difference it makes since Raving Ron wouldn't support it any more if it had been declared.
