A President calling something a 'police action' or 'carrying out UN resolutions' to avoid a Congressional declaration doesn't cut it. Why not declare war?

..and just to expand on the previous comment, even Paul himself found the 'authorization to use force' instead of a declaration of war completely fine when it came to Afghanistan; he voted for that.

I'll expect all future reference to the ongoing conflict from you to be termed "the authorized use of force in Iraq", and "the authorized use of force against terrorists". Quit lying about this imaginary "war".
