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.
The above may be an opinion. Sure.

The fact that Congress passed the power to declare war to the President is not. The fact that the Iraq War is unconstitutional is not.

I don't care about the Joint Resolution either. That is just more legislation that is more nonsense. That passes power to the President that he doesn't have granted to him by the Constitution.

I also don't care about the War Powers Resolution either. It is again, more nonsense legislation that passes the power to the President unnecessarily and unconstitutionally.
