did Congress give * the ok to initiate any war back after 911 or just our current war?

Does * have to go back to Congress now - if he wants to go to Iran?

4. Remember that entering the illegal and undeclared Iraq "war" was a process
Lying to congress, hyping up the rank-and-file 'murkins ("axis of evil", eg), going to the UN, etc....

6. Could be the beginning of another round of war propaganda.
We all know that the BushCo/NeoCON cabal are hell bent upon regime change in Iran and Syria. There have been indications that "softening up" tactics are already taking place in Iran.

8. Without a DRAFT....

...we wouldn't be able to attack Fort Knox. I don't expect anything to develop with Iran.
