Rice: Congress Shouldn't Micromanage War

I was intrigued by the discussion in class about Congress's rights and abilities when it comes to foreign affairs. The nonbinding resolution stuff seems very ineffectual and petty, but nothing is not an option. Congress must work within it's limitations, and the sooner the better. Vietnam took a very long time for there to be enough nonbinding resolutions to make things different. It still looks like Congress is not ready to be really brave and impose money restrictions. Risky strategy for the war or for getting reelected????
