Yes, Congress, by Constitutional decree, has the authority to raise an army and to declare war. I have said it many times ... including times when I was in the small minority that opposed the war ... that Congress abdicated its responsibility with the Authorization for Use of Military Force in Iraq. Much blame lies with them.
But not all, much blame also resides with the political operations within the White House, who manipulated the disaster events into a political weapon. (see Senator Max Cleland). The Congressional Resolution was an attempt to split the baby presented by Misters Bush, Cheney and Rove; well played by them.
