Exactamundo. Here's what the 77th Congress did when America was attacked: "...the President is hereby authorized and directed to employ the entire naval and military forces of the United States and the resources of the Government to carry on war against the Imperial Government of Japan; and, to bring the conflict to a successful termination, all the resources of the country are hereby pledged by the Congress of the United States."
The Congress cravenly cooperated with Bush's phony war, as predicted by myself here on FR on September 13, 2001, instead of making actual war on our enemies. As such, they share the shame of our defeat along with Bush and "Obama", whose election resulted in no small measure from Congress's cowardice and Bush's ridiculous fantasies about Islam.
We better get used to it until we learn to fight wars to win again.
Prescient.
