Your opinion.
We have already established that it was believed that they were a threat. Read the rest of the link I posted. You will find that it is well within the constitutional rights of the president to authorize military action without a declaration of war.
Well the second and third lines are enough.
"The President has constitutional power not only to retaliate against any person, organization, or State suspected of involvement in terrorist attacks on the United States, but also against foreign States suspected of harboring or supporting such organizations.
The President may deploy military force preemptively against terrorist organizations or the States that harbor or support them, whether or not they can be linked to the specific terrorist incidents of September 11."
You have no argument here friend.
