Interesting slant you have on reality there. When has Congress failed to authorize the use of force? Its one of the few truly bi-partisan things in Congress. If I recall correctly, it was Congress which couldn't wait for Obama to start bombing Libya and Syria and was outraged when he didn't. Just as they are now outraged that he seems to have avoided a war with Iran.
The scumbags of the military-industrial complex hate it when they don't get to use their shiny new toys to fuck over someone else's country.
