Glenn Greenwald has a good article Our Little Churchills about the Administration's anti-American view that they don't need Congress' support. He describes at length how Winston Churchill would have found such a view repulsive and even manages to sneak Lincoln in there too.
"Churchill then proceeded to give an account of the war and a defense of his strategic decisions (along with numerous admissions of grave error) far more detailed, substantive, lengthy and candid than any given by George Bush on any topic, at any time, during the last six years. He knew that he could and should continue in the war only if he had the support of the Parliament and his country for his decisions, and that support had to be earned through persuasion and disclosure. It was not an entitlement that he could simply demand."
