I wish they'd actually declare war - Congress's initial "approval" of the President's actions made some strong references to the "War Powers" act (I don't have a link, but I remember reading it to my roommate at work - ex Special Forces Army type, and we both looked at each other and said "War powers" at the same time, then broke down laughing...) - I just wish they had the cojones to back it up with some real action...
Y'see, if Pres. Shrub declared War, then there would be a constitutional ground for most of the crap that Asscroft is pulling. As it is, he's inventing most of his "powers" on the grounds that nobody is standing up against him taking these powers - and he's grabbing on other fronts as well. Anybody notice the presidential papers rules that got totally overriden this morning? Think maybe Pappy Bush had anything to do with it? I don't have any proof, but I've got a VERY strong feeling...
