Of course we're at war! What else could it be called? Vietnam wasn't a war. It was a military police action, which turned into a war, while congress was sleeping. Some of those politicians are just down right stupid.

I have questions: Can Congress declare war if the President doesn't request it? Should Congress declare war if the President isn't willing to prosecute it effectively? (Of course, a Declaration of War is just another piece of legislation that the President may veto if he doesn't like or want it.) Can Congress authorize war without formally declaring it? Can/Should Congress delay a Declaration of War until we have a Command-in-Chief competent to prosecute it? So many questions...

Yes, Congress Can Authorize War Without Formally 'Declaring' It
The lawfulness of action in Syria doesn't depend on magic words -- lawmakers can consent in any form they choose.
