It would be unconstitutional to go to war without congressional approval. We probably agree on that.

But an Authorization for the Use of Military Force satisfies the constitutional mandate of congressional oversight.
So you are wrong when you say the Iraq war is unconstitutional.

The first thing one should know about the constitution is that its words and clauses are subject to interpretation. Otherwise, yelling 'Fire!' in a crowded theatre might still be legal. Ponder that, Rocky.
