As for your seccond post, you might want to footpaths war powers act of 1973, that enforced the statment of only congress ability to declare war, but the president has authority of extended military action incase of "a national emergency created by attack upon the United States, its territories or possessions, or its armed forces."

9/11 can easily be defined as that in a political arena, and that's exactly the justification used. Excuse me if I am wrong, but you seem to be a headline debator. Uneducated on the depths of the issues, but extremely idealistic. That's fine and all, untill it comes to finding the truth and logic. But by all means, respond, I need to start posting some more.
