Operation Epic Fury is already unleashing many unforeseen consequences—that is, unforeseen if you are operating from the standpoint of a messianic, delusional, pseudo-religious outlook, but not unforeseen if you view the world as Lyndon LaRouche did, from the standpoint of multiply connected dynamic processes within a lawfully ordered universe.
The Congress has abdicated responsibility when both houses voted against enforcing the war powers resolution, which merely reflects the constitutional mandate in Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution, mandating that the Congress and not the president must determine whether or not to declare war.
