You wanna post congresses declaration of War? I have not seen it as of yet so maybe you can back up that statement.

So do you need a formal piece of paper to know we are at war, or is the rubble at the WTC, the 6,000 people dead, the bombs falling in Afghanistan, and the anthrax going to do it for ya'?

By the way, the President has filed the apropriate papers formally notifying Congress of military action, as required by law.

Where is that in the Constitution?

In this nation, war begins when Congress declares it; not when the President announces a new initiative or something tragic happens.

Please let us all know what the HR number is that is the Presidents current request for a declaration of war against whoever. The President has not requested Congress for a declaration of war. Why is it OK for a Republican President to avoid and subvert the Constitution, but not a Democrat?.

By the way, the President has filed the apropriate papers formally notifying Congress of military action, as required by law.

So in other words, we have yet another war that's really not a war. Shall we call this one a conflict, police action or rescue mission?. Or are we protecting our interests?. Which one please.

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss...
