I heard this too.
This means that Pres. Bush needs no additional congressional approval.

He may or may not need it, but he'll seek it and get it just the same. Politically, it's smarter.

Maybe...but won't it be fun to watch Little Tommy and Byrd vote "no"? Maybe they'll have some Kennedy's, Leahy's and Feinstein's to keep them company, but it going to be awful lonely on the wrong end of an 80-20 vote.
And even lonlier when Sadaam is deposed and Iraq liberated, against their well-recorded and remembered objections.

This means that Pres. Bush needs no additional congressional approval.He didn't need it anyway. SJ Res 23 is quite clear. Bush, and Bush alone, gets to decide who's responsible, and order appropriate military action against them.

Yep. It means that an attack on Saddam will not be preemptive but retaliatory.
