Even the SCOTUS is fed up with Bush's nonsense.

Then, clearly, Congress has studiously ignored your version of what the
Constitution requires for the past half century. We fought the entire
Korean
War without Congress declaring that a state of war existed.....not to this
day a
half century or so later has such a declaration been made. But it was a
war
nevertheless. Oh, and be sure to tell our VN vets that the little
brouhaha they
were involved in didn't count as a war because Congress forgot to declare
it.

Not my fault they don't have the balls to actually call it a war.

Sure it is.....it's all our faults because we elect the people who sit in the
Congress. I'm not sure I fully understand the rationale for them failing to
declare war in every instance but, unlike you, I prefer to withhold that kind of
criticism until I know why they did or didn't do whatever it was that I might
have expected of them.

Come to think of it, those little dust ups that passed for wars in Panama,
Granada, and Kuwait (the Gulf War) were similarly undeclared. I guess
they
didn't count either.

Finally, a right answer from you. They weren't "wars" since Congress didn't
declare them that.

You must be the only person in the country who's never heard of "undeclared
wars", like the one we're engaged in right now with the sovereign nation of
Iraq. The Congress may have said numerous things on the subject in many
different formats, but one thing they didn't say was that a state of war existed
between the Government of Iraq and the Government of the United States.

Those Congressmen sure must be stupid to fail to recognize what they're
supposed
to do before young Americans in uniform are placed in harm's way.

You obviously don't have a clue how things work at the flag level.

You obviously don't have a clue about what I know. Try again.

I guess everybody's out of step but you. You're the one who doesn't seem
to
know squat about the subject.

Well, lets see what I know:

1. Shinseki didn't clean out his desk.
2. Didn't leave the building.
3. Didn't lose one iota of his command authority.
4. Didn't stop attending JCS meetings.
5. Didn't stop travelling around giving speeches as the CSA.
6. Served his ENTIRE assignment period as specified under Public Law.

Yep, not "fired".
