What it does is leave us in a position where the President can choose our enemies without consulting Congress. So when we invade Iraq there will have been no real debate in the context of approving or rejecting the expansion of the conflict. (Griff vowing sunshine and lollipops for a while)

I agree. Folks, no matter how many times CNN parrots it stupid little graphics, <i>we are not at war</i>. Not unless you want to change the definition of war. Hey, while we're at it, why not make bananna mean apple and apple mean telephone? :)
