Why is it that some of the libertarians are hell-bent on trying to make FR look like DU . . . ? The primary reason for going into Iraq was not over "WDM" as you call them, besides; and maybe one should call up to Canada to ask them what they did with that 606 tons of yellowcake uranium that was taken out of Iraq.

Like I said in another post on this thread, the First and Second Barbary Wars were engaged in without formal declarations of war by Congress; and the present-day conflict in the Middle East is a modern-day form of that conflict. Article 1 section 8 does not say that Congress has to formally declare war, only that they do possess the power to do so; and the POTUS has the power to wage war.
