I don't care whether a person is a Democrat or a Republican. Either what they say makes sense or it doesn't.

Point one. Congress declares war. You don't think Congress declared war in Iraq, so we're already in difficulty having this conversation.

And the fallback positions are taken by Ionesco, that Congress was lied to, and/or Congress is stupid.

Point two. The President wages war. He's the Commander in Chief. And he is the Executive, so runs the agencies.

Congress doesn't tell the President how to run the agencies.

So whining that the President didn't do what Congress wanted him to do denotes a pathetic lack of comprehension of what the Constitution provides in the way of separation of powers.

Point three. Retired bureaucrats always bitch about how they could do it better but were unappreciated. To a man.
