While this pegs the irony meter, there is an underlying
truth, namely that the founding fathers knew what they were
doing when they included Article 1 "Section 1 - Legislative
powers; in whom vested: All legislative Powers herein
granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States,
which shall consist of a Senate and House of
Representatives." §8, "...==To declare War,== grant
Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning
Captures on Land and Water;…"

While Congress has, from time to time, been manipulated into
war declaration for the benefit of the few, e.g. the Mexican
(1846-1848) and Spanish-American (1898) wars, the extreme
and frequent abuse of the military option, with enormous
waste of citizen blood and taxpayer funds, has been through
recent undeclared wars which bypassed Congress [except for a
wink and a nod], that were intended to be quick and fought
"on the cheap."

Until and unless Congress grows a set, and imposes their
Congressional prerogatives/duties in this area, if only
through the authorization/appropriations process, it will
not only continue but expand, although the Federal
government is in a very precarious domestic and
international financial situation, which is *VERY RAPIDLY*
getting worse.
