President Biden has launched a military campaign in retaliation for the death of three Army reservists killed in a drone attack on their remote outpost in Jordan .
Julian Zelizer : Biden has reportedly ordered attacks on dozens of targets with ties to Iranian -backed militias in Iraq , Syria , and Yemen .
Zelizer says Biden 's approach obscures the aims of U.S. policy with a wink and a smile.
President Biden wrote to Congress notifying the legislature of retaliatory strikes in Iraq and Syria .
Biden referred to these statutory authorities because the 60-day window to make war without Congressional approval has wound down.
The problem with citing these turn-of-the-century authorizations is they simply do not apply to security challenges posed more than 20 years after their ratification.
