there is more at play here than we realize most likely.
when time is a factor, going through congress wastes a valuable amount of it, if it is law however, it should be followed. when the UN calls on the US, its not the president calling for an attack though.

1. There are at plenty of countries mass killing their own people right now.
2. If time was a factor, why did we wait a month to go in?
3. The UN has ZERO power to order the US to go to war, both in terms of international law, and in terms of the US constitution, absolutely NO power whatsoever to do that. Therefore, yes, it was the President ordering an attack, not the UN.
Again, I'm not sure about what we should be doing there, or elsewhere.... I'm simply pointing out the extreme irony here, in terms of what Obama and Biden have said.
