The UN is a charter orginization, not a treaty.
Briefly, from wikipedia.
The United Nations Charter is the treaty which forms and establishes the international organization called the United Nations. ... It entered into force on October 24, 1945, after being ratified by the five founding members—the Republic of China, France, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, and the United States—and a majority of the other signatories.

Article I section 8 grants the government the right to wage war.
You misspelled "CONGRESS".
Section 8. The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, to pay the debts and provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States; but all duties, imposts and excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;
...

Article II section 2 gives controll of the millitary to the president.
Section 2. The President shall be commander in chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the militia of the several states, when called into the actual service of the United States;

Nothing about what sorts of governments we are allowed to fightor defend at all.
Actually, since CONGRESS hasn't declared War, The President doesn't have anything to do with the Army, Navy, or militia, does he? If you want to take the Constitution at it's literal face.
Wonder HOW he got any money to conduct planning and operations against Iraq BEFORE going to Congress, as required, for appropriations...
Fraud, anyone?
