Question

Was the u.s. war against iraq ever officially declaired?

Answer 1

I believe the US hasnt officially declared war since World War 2.

Answer 2

Its not an official "war" since there was never a declaration by congress

Answer 3

The United States has formally declared war in 5 instances against 11 countries, Iraq is not among them.

In 12 instances, the United States has engaged in extended military engagements that were authorized by Congress, but without a formal declaration of war.

The latest was the Iraq War, also known as Operation Iraqi Freedom.
