Given the good PR work after 9/11 by the Bush administration, Strick, it would have been very difficult for Congress to do anything but what they have done. By turning over the powers to pre-emptively attack Iraq to the executive branch at least they won't be branded as "unpatriotic" or "unAmerican".

By the time that dog quits hunting, the US may be on the doorsteps of implosion from this usurping of power by the executive branch.
