Then let our good-for-nothing congress declare war, dammit, and then constituents will demand that the war be prosecuted an brought to a conclusion - unlike the propect in this current unlimited presidetntial war.

The Constitution, while giving the authority to declare war to the Legislature, does NOT specify what form that declaration must take. By authorizing the Commander-In-Chief to act against those responsible for terrorism against the United States, the war was effectively started.
