What makes this attack on Iraq very dangerous from a Constitutional point of view is that Bush thinks he has the authority to move ahead without Congress's approval, developing his war plans within the context of the war on terrorism There is no question Bush will seek and receive Congressional approval before moving ahead with the war. There is also no question that he not only THINKS, but in reality DOES have authority to move ahead without Congressional approval. There is a reason presidents do not seek approval prematurely. War continues to be, de facto, a presidential prerogative, by virtue of the fact that the president seeks approval only after it is essentially too late for Congressional intervention, except in the most unusual circumstances (which I don't believe we've ever seen to date). Bush is conducting this policy just as other presidents have before, and there should be nothing alarming about it. At this point, he is merely negotiating to get what he wants. Once he commits us to war, we'll have a strong worldwide coalition to support us. There is no need for panic.
