[Vision2020] State Budget Deficits

[the lockshop]

 "I do not recall Congress declaring war... I do, however, recall George 
Bush declaring a global war on terror (September 20, 2001)."

So much for the "No one..."

The AUFM was passed by both the house and senate with only 1 ( thats right 
1) disenting vote. Let's also not forget UN resolution 1386 and the fact 
that we entered into the conflict along side over 40 other nations.

No one is saying he "single handedly" entered into the war. But he was
the one in charge, right? Say what you will but the bad idea was his
