Yep. You can disagree with little ol' me all you want. But who does
history... and the written word of the Constitution... agree with?

If the President could simply start a war with another country any time
he felt like it, and making threats such as Joe described *would* start
a war, then lots of episodes in our history... such as Nixon's little
problem with bombing Cambodia or GWB's effort to convince Congress to
allow him to invade Iraq... would never have happened.

So there.
