President's have given the middle finger to the WPA since it was pased........no news here.

Politically I don't see why he might not take it Congress......unless he feels the pubs will force him to shut it down by defunding the operation, but they can do that anyway.

I guess some might consider Pakistan to be the same theater of war as Afghanistan. I believe though he needed to go to Congress when for the drone strikes as well. Drone strikes should be held to the same standard as manned interventions.

But if, as you say, shua, there are the same theater......and I think most agree it is......then why bother, drone strikes or no?

The lack of outcry that Obama needs to consult Congress on this is non-existent, no?  Or have I missed it.
