War criminals? What war? Show me a declaration of war.

Prisoners of War?? What War?? Show me a declaration of war.

Btw, Congress voted an authorization for the use of force, the closest thing to a declaration of war one can have when we don't know who has actually attacked us.

And declaring war upon Afghanistan would not have been justified since it was Al-Quaida, under protection of the Taleban, which was discovered to have perpetrated the attacks. And since the Taleban were an illegitimate government comprising more Pakistanis than Afghanis, and installed by the ISI, we were more at war with group of leaders than an entire nation.

That is why there has been no declaration of war. But let there appear sufficient evidence that Saddam Hussein paid for and trained the WTC attackers... and you might just see one.

But you're absolutely right about the winners. They write the rules, the consequences, and the history books.
