3. I oppose any surge, but the Monkey has surged before without permission
This isn't a war, it's a police action. I don't recall a Declaration of War being issued. There was a halfassed resolution citing the UN but there's no piece of paper issued by Congress that says "A state of war exists between the United States of America and...." And what country? Iraq? Gee, now they're our allies. The "evildoers?" Which ones?

We're past time for Declarations of War. That's what has to happen when you have a clue as to who is the enemy. Now, we are engaged in a great civil war, to riff on Lincoln, only we're the Monkeys in the Middle of this civil war.
