Right.  And Congress wussed out and gave Bush basically a blank check
and hasn't gone back to change its mind.  They gave him that authorization.

No, what he did, near as I can tell, was to tell Congress to actually get
*serious*, and if they wanted a *war* to *declare* a war, rather than some
mamby-pamby "authorization to use force".  Congress proved not to have
the collective cojones to Do The Right Thing.
