When we spoke of this the other day in light of Karove's (sp?) article, he was arguing that Congressional approval was Constitutionally required. Oh, good point. I agree with Karove on this point, however. The act of going to war, instead of the act of enforcing sanctions as an agent of the UN, seems to me would require Congressional approval. Though Constitutional scholar I am not. Karove just made sense to me. But the effective political moment occurs if Bush fails to get Congressional approvel or some standin that satisfies large portions of the population, and things go badly in Iraq. Every argument in the book will then be used against him, effectively.
