USA TODAY: Surge's Success Holds Chance To Seize The Moment In Iraq; Dems 'Lost in Ti

Exactly my point!

You agree that Congress hasn't declared war since WW2 so then what are you arguing about?

Could you explain to me what a liberal fascist is?

What I agree to is that Congress has not declared war even once since WW2, so why do you insist that the Iraq War is the illegal one? Obviously it is not or this whole "illegal war" issue would have been brought up sometime in the last 60 years. There are 13 examples in the above threads to support my stance. How many are there to support yours'?

The war was not about self-defense so that is the main reason I consider it illegal. In WW2, Japan attacked us and his it was about self-defense and Congress declared war on Japan. Germany and Italy declared war on us a couple days later and we did likewise. Congress has been a**icating it's constitutional authority since WW2 by not declaring wars. The reason probably is politically so Congress can take credit if the war goes good and blame the president when it goes bad. The war was not approved by the UN Security Council so that make illegal. I don't think the Security Council should be deciding wars but if people say one of the reasons we attacked Saddam was because he violated UN Security Resolution, then we can't be violating UN Security Council too. Your first sentence up to that comma agrees with and reinforces what I have been saying.
