>> It is too late in our history to argue that there can be no war unless the war is officially "declared." Since our Declaration of Independence, our country has been in about 200 armed conflicts, while we have declared war only seven times. Not even the Civil War, the bloodiest in our history, was a declared war.9<<

Cobalt, I'm not sure what point you are trying to make. My observation that Congress did not declare war (I quoted the resolution) has no great moral significance. Congress knew that the resolution authorizing force would almost certainly lead to war. Still, it was the President who declared war.
