The GWBush authorization was against the government of Iraq that existed at that time.

Obama withdrew all troops, basically ending THAT war.

It would make no sense for him to return troops based on THAT war, since THAT government was defeated and replaced with a new elected government. If Obama uses the Bush Declaration of War, he would basically have to go after the existing government of Iraq, not ISIS/ISIL.

Calling all lawyers! A potential windfall may be coming soon.

Any time some lib brings up Bush going to war for non-existent WMD, I always ask them if they had ever read the Authorization For Use of Military Force Against Iraq - 2002, passed by the Democrat-controlled Senate. Without exception, I have yet to meet one who has.
