I wish there was a way all of America could say enough of this and only send the percentage of taxes that account for all non military spending.

Starting in 1998 and through the end of the Clinton Administration, Iraq’s refusal to permit U.N.
weapons inspection teams access to various Iraqi sites, and Iraqi threats to U.S. aircraft policing
the “no-fly zones” resulted in U.S. military action on numerous occasions against Iraqi military
forces and targets in the “no-fly zones.” President Clinton chose to report these actions under the
requirements of P.L. 102-1, rather than the War Powers Resolution. In early February 2001,
President George W. Bush authorized U.S. aircraft to attack Iraqi radar installations in Southern
Iraq believed to threaten allied forces enforcing the “no-fly zone.” Additional bombings of Iraqi
sites were authorized and took place from the summer of 2001 into March 2003. Such actions, in
the past, were reported under P.L. 102-1. Congress provided authorization for future military
action, under specified conditions, through passage of P.L. 107-243 signed into law on October
16, 2002. In a report to Congress on January 20, 2003, pursuant to P.L. 107-243, President Bush
stated that information required to be reported regarding actions taken against Iraq required by
section 3 of P.L. 102-1 would in the future be included in the reports required by P.L. 107-243.
On March 19, 2003, President Bush directed U.S. Armed Forces to commence combat operations
against Iraq to enforce its disarmament. Since he announced the end of major combat operations
against Iraq on May 1, 2003, the President has made periodic reports on the current situation in
Iraq “consistent with” P.L. 107-243, which have become the equivalent of reports to Congress
envisioned by the War Powers Resolution. For a recent example of these reports to Congress see
House Document 108-231, 108

This is one of the few reports I've seen that has stated the truth of it all.
