America: Fighting Wars Without Congressional Consent For Over 50 Years I like how Bush just sent a letter to Congress saying we're going to war. Actually, Congress has to declare war for it to be an official war, and that hasn't happened since WWII. So technically, we're not at war. We're just blowin shit up for fun. But anyway, how does Congress feel about this? They must be like, "Hey a letter. 'Dear Congress, It's not you, it's me...' I can't believe he started a war without us. Is it something we did? This always happens to us. Why can we never find a decent guy who won't leave us for someone else. I hope you and this Saddam are very happy together!"
