There does not have to be a formal declaration of war from congress.
The President can utilize the armed forces, of which he is chief, when

That is so juvenile. Little Billy did it so it must be OK...

I did not support Clinton's adventurisms and I do not support Mr.
Bush's. Pre-emptive attacks on an mpotent sovereign nation
constitutes war crime. We are a rogue nation. The military is not
defending the country against the threat from within. Bush and Cheney
are a hundred times the threat that Saddam or Osama Bin Ladin ever
were.

We are finished.

Juvenile? What are you talking about? define your terms, please. You
lack understanding. Where in my statement did I use Clinton's actions
to justify the use of military power. Clinton did things during his
presidency that Bush is criticized for; get the point? Did you not
read everything else I said? Can you not understand? You do not
understand. Latch onto my last sentence somehow get "Little Billy did
it so it must be OK" out of it. Prove the claims you made. If "Bush
and Cheney are a hundred times the threat that Saddam or Osama Bin
Ladin ever were", back it up with clear, reasoned evidence,
considering all facts, to include the fact that the United States
maintains a defense force equal to the rest of the world combined,
with only a tiny percentage of its GDP. Do you know what a "Rouge"
United States can do? Why does Chavez, Kim Il, and Castro still live?
Yes, You made it clear that you believe we are a rogue nation. You
are not capable of critical thought. Give us the criteria for a rogue
nation; Are there any other rogue nations about? And why? Do you not
understand, that if we were truly a rogue nation, what the country is
capable of? What would a really rouge United States look like? With
our vast economic and military might? You cannot reason, can you.
You are also a plagiarizer, copying a website as your own words.
Do not bring a knife to a gun fight. If you want to have a discussion
with people capable of thinking critically, come better armed than you
currently are. You are a hater, you hate and despise the greatest
nation, the GOODEST (I know that wasn't a real word) nation, to ever
exist. Instead of marching across Asia at the end of WWII, we
assisted in rebuilding our former enemies' infrastructure. Granted,
the QUALITY of the American people isn't the same in this generation
as in that one, (as evidenced by folks like yourself) there is still
a significant patriotic core. I will no longer have anything to do
with you. Having a reasoned discussion with your ilk is as pointless
as arguing with one who's mentally ill.
