Oh, I see. Congress did not say "we declare war," they said, "we authorize the use of force," and you think that that means they did not declare war.

As far as I can tell, there is absolutely no dispute over whether Congress declared war. It didn't. There is an academic dispute over whether the war authorization satisfied the (much-ignored) Constitutional law that gives war-making power to Congress. But that argument can't be resolved by pretending that Congress declared war, when it didn't.
