Thank you.

I do understand it. It specifically proves my point that a declaration of war is different from an authorization to use force. Do you not see this or are you continually making sh-- up just so you can be argumentative.? No sh--. I already stated multiple times that they authorized the use of force. Try reading before responding. It make this whole debate thingy move much smoother.

Yeah, why use technicalities like the actual wording of the law, when you can just make sh-- up to justify your actions.

Again, since you are unable to actually understand the conversation, A DECLARATION OF WAR IS REQUIRED FOR 1811 TO BE VALID. ABSENCE OF SAID DECLARATION IS A VIOLATION OF 1811. Understand now or do I now need to start using bold font? Why is this such a difficult concept for you to grasp. No declaration, no 1811. An authorization is not interchangable with a declaration.

Ummm...because 1811 specifically requires it?

From the War Powers Resolution (which this section is specifically mentioned in the Authorization for the Use of Force): The authorization for the use of force is not a declaration of war.

Still not a declaration of war. Only the authorization to use force. There is a difference.

...and I already stated the problem with the argument. There was no declaration of war, therefore 1811 does not apply. Congress authorized the use of force. They did not declare war. 1811 requires a declaration of war.

Cite the Congressional declaration of war for me, please. Provide the link.

Herein lies the problem with the administration's argument (if in fact that is their argument).

The problem arises in the fact that war was never declared by Congress. Military action was authorized, but there was no declaration of war. Therefore, 1811 does not apply, IMO.

Great. I miss a day on the board, and Tenny gets banned again. I always miss the fun. This is all Tom's fault.

<drool> Check your PM's.

They make me feel pretty.

My panties are not in a wad. I found your response quite humorous. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Quite true. I better get brewing. I need to build up my stock.

Good point.

Actually, their purpose is to turn the world into an Islamic Theocracy. Driving the Americans out of the ME is just the first step.

You suprised me. Usually, when someone posts something like this, you get your panties in a wad and feel compelled to retaliate with a Republican joke. You know you want to post one. I guess the original post hit a little too close to home for you. Nobody is forcing you to stay here. You can always do what you did last time you got your panties in a bunch: run away and sulk.

Troublemaker.

Lost your sense of humor today? So, how long before you feel the need to post a joke in retaliation?

Post #9, albeit mispelled.

Funny, I have never had a problem having a reasonable and intelligent discussion with him. Even when I disagree with him.

How dare those evil Republicans being against taxing the sh-- out of people for dying. If it breathes...tax it. If it doesn't breathe...tax it for not breathing.

You should hear the stories from when helmets were not used or were "optional." Eff'ed people up pretty good.
