A post on Monkey X informed me of something that should be receiving far more coverage in the media. A bill has been introduced by Reps. Peter DeFazio (D-Ore.) and Ron Paul (R-TX) to repeal the "Iraq Use of Force Resolution" which gave Bush a priori consent to wage war in Iraq.

I hope that somehow more people become aware of this new bill, and support it firmly.

Although I am not against a war in Iraq, I am vehemently against any move on the part of congress towards becoming a rubber-stamp for the Executive branch. In cases dealing with war, especially, congress should never abrogate its power to check the President.
