Question: "Did congress ever declare war on Iraq and if not is it true that we are not in a war?"

Answer: "No. There are 5 wars in which the United States formally declared war against a foreign nation, namely, the War of 1812, the Mexican-American War, the Spanish-American War, World War I, and World War II.

Using this strict definition of a declaration of war, the United States has not formally declared war with Iraq."
