Congress can't prohibit a war per se, their power is based upon the pursestrings. On top of that, the line between "war" and "police action" has blurred to the point that it's not really meaningful any more. Korea, Vietnam, Grenada, Panama, Iraq I, Somalia, Kosovo, Afghanistan, Iraq II, were all never declared to be wars by Congress. Indeed, the last time the US Congress declared war, IIRC, was on December 8, 1941. We've bombed a LOT of people since then.
