And how many of those children aided in 9/11 terrorist attack? This not give the US free will to bomb the shit out of anyone. You are stretching the law to fit your agenda.
I am confused about this part of the resolution, could you explain it?
Quote:
(1) SPECIFIC STATUTORY AUTHORIZATION- Consistent with section 8(a)(1) of the War Powers Resolution, the Congress declares that this section is intended to constitute specific statutory authorization within the meaning of section 5(b) of the War Powers Resolution.
(2) APPLICABILITY OF OTHER REQUIREMENTS- Nothing in this resolution supercedes [sic] any requirement of the War Powers Resolution
