The actual text is" "...authorize the use of United States Armed Forces ...the President is authorized to use all necessary and appropriate force against those nations, organizations, or persons he determines planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, or harbored such organizations or persons"
The use of "FORCE" means ARMED FORCE......Were there any articles or provisions? Was the war powers act enabled? This was a resolution not a "Declaration of War" Did it place all resources at the disposal of the President? If it was this simple there would be NO arguement. But it's not this simple and if it were the White House would have responded by such. It has never done such.
