no you need to justify that.....go find the declaration of war against afganistan or the taliban....Go find it...an authorization is not a formal declaration of war. You know that. Dont play this game like giving authorization to run rampant in the middle east is a declaration of war like the constitution instructs congress to do. So when you find that war DECLARATION you win. If it were a Declaration it would called a declaration. The congress is a bunch of pussies and didnt want to take responsibility for declaring war, so they told the president to do it......THAT IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
