I posted this in the last thread, but ill repost it here re: is this a declared war or not argument

Like Vietnam, Korea, GW I this is not a declared war.

War can only be declared by Congress; this is the President acting as Commander in Chief, however, as per the war powers act of 1974, in 60 days the COngress can vote to bring the troops back, or allow a 30 day extension of the CIC's War Powers. After that 90 days, they MUST declare war, thus giving both executive and legislative approval for any sustained conflict

Unlike Ollie North and the 3rd Infantry, we can get a new thread and a clean pair of underwear.
