Congress declared war, as the Constitution requires. Including Kerry, Edwards, and Hillary Clinton. Congress has oversight over the intelligence agencies. Including Kerry, Edwards, and Hillary Clinton.

Maybe you should dust off that old copy of the Constitution on your bookcase.

If the concept of "Congressional oversight" is too tough, try google. Here's a short essay from the House of Representatives website.

Now, the way the war was waged, that is the responsibility of the Executive. But the fact that war was waged, that's the responsibility of the Legislature. Including Kerry, Edwards, and Hillary Clinton.
