(Waving hand in air) I know! I know!

The Constitution of the US names the president as Commander in Chief with
the sole responsibility to wage war. Imbedded in the right to wage war is
the determination of who to wage war against!

Three recent court cases (in the last three months) have all affirmed both
this and the 1942 SCOTUS decision allowing the president to determine who is
an 'unlawful enemy combatant.' The latest decision (last week by a NY
Federal District Judge in the Padilla case) said that, yes, the president
can order someone up against the wall and shot, but there is a remedy: The
president can be replaced at the next election.

It's a war. In war, the president can decide (or delegate) bombing targets.
And neither the legislative nor judicial branch can micro-manage the
president's war-making decisions.
