Yes, but that's not at all the same thing as a Declaration of War. Just like the Gulf Of Tonkin Resolution wasn't, either. The Vietnam War was "Johnson's War". The current war is identified completely with President Bush, who will get near-100% of the credit or blame. Congress didn't stop him, but Congress really isn't taking any responsibility, either. If this war goes horribly wrong, Congress will lay low and get re-elected; it isn't their political capital that is being invested and risked here.
