Congress would have unquestionably declared war on 9/16/01. Do you dispute that?

Yes! Because of the many implications of declaring war there has not been one since WWII. Not Korea, Vietnam, The Falklands, Grenada, Panama, and any others we may have fought. The Senate is even redder now than in those times so it is highly unlikely to have cooperated.

Who would we have declared war against, a group of roaming thugs called Al Qaeda? Afghanistan? Iraq? Saudi Arabia? Iran? Lybia? Syria?

Dream on.

It is easy to be an Internet Rambo and declare bold intentions but quite another to actually get things done in this country where nearly half the Congress, all the media, all the labor unions, school and university teachers, and many, many foreign-funded and inspired agitators oppose your every move.

There are many good conservative solutions to most of our problems but implimenting them in today's environment is nye imppossible. After all, it is the left and their policies that have put us where we are.

I'm not sure what you are saying.

We live in a Constitutional Republic. The War Power, which is nearly unlimited, was placed in Congress IN ORDER TO PREVENT U.S. forces fighting in wars without adequate support at home.

It is idiocy to send forces into combat with an inadequate mission and inadequate force structure because Congress won't declare war (I think they would have, you don't).

That limitation on Executive power is their to PROTECT OUR TROOPS AND THEIR FAMILIES.
