Before someone slaps your hand for it, he was talking about the Iraq war (I should have mentioned that in my recap, but I was getting my snark on and too pissed to see straight), but I think my point stands: Congress has the right to do a hell of a lot more than dictate funding. How long we stay, how many troops there are, and the policies that are enforced on the ground, no matter how Bush might like to pretend that he's Patton, are legislative decisions. If they weren't, then Congressional approval wouldn't be needed to declare war in the first place.
