I absolutey ADORE this canard...

This is where the pro-terrorist, anti-American jack@$$ in question runs to demand that "CONGRESSS NEVER DECLARED WAR ON IRAQ!"

As if there is only one means of declaring war and the USC provided a specific outline in triplicate form which, unless that form is filled out and properly filed with the Clerk... the US can't go to war...

Well here's the thing girls; the Congress gave the President authority to go to war... They didn't pass on the responsibility; they didn't transfer power; THEY AUTHORIZED THE PRESIDENT TO USE MILITARY FORCE AGAINST A SOVEREIGN NATION: AND BY ANY OBJECTIVE MEASURE, WHEN YOU USE MILITARY POWER AGAINST A SOVEREIGN NATION FOR ANY PURPOSE, BUT PARTICULARLY WHEN YOU USE MILITARY POWER TO DIRECTLY, OVERTLY AND UNAPOLOGETICALLY OVERTHROW THAT SOVEREIGN GOVERNMENT: YOU'VE DAYUM WELL COMMITTED AN ACT OF WAR.

An act, which in this case, was authorized by Congress; an act of war thus 'declared' through that authorization.

You'll take careful note that there is NOTHING in the USC which determines the means by which Congress must declare war; and while I know you are loathe to accept this analysis, because it completely destroys your insipid rationalization, the fact remains, it destroys your rationalization and that's that...

So... Case closed. CHECK MATE... and get lost ya pacifist ****!
