#1 IOW, iff Radical Iran is acknowledged by the USA + many world nations as the principal sponsor/
broker of Radical Islamist terror, then the US Dems are agz stopping anti-US, anti-Western, + anti-Democratic, etc. Iranian ambitions as achieved = enhanced thru terror. The Dems are indir? contributing to the further endangerment of our troops while also for the prolongment of the sufferings of the Iraqi people thru Iran-centric, Iran-led, inter-Muslim sectarianism within Iraq. OH YEAH, THAT'LL HELP THE DEMS WIN THE WH IN 2008.

#2 That's it in nutshell Joe.

The Democrats have bet their future on us losing, and losing big in the WOT. The more dead American soldiers for them to parade the better. They hope to win by showing the WOT as a disaster of epic porportions (and not by having any sort of plan themselves....).

They know that if Iran gets nukes and takes out Tel-aviv (which DinnerJacket has sworn he would do) they can simply blame bush'es failed policies.

#3 This is the Donks idea of a preemption doctrine.

#4 Don't do anything but they have no ideas on what should be done.

Oh, and by the way, the commander in chief can take any action deemed warranted short of declaring war. The CIC does need to go to Congress for a sustained war effort.

#5 Perhaps, W has reconsidered "Negotiating" with Iran (Aryan) after all.

#6 From Docs link.

Although Iranian government officials said no negotiations with the U.S. had been scheduled, Mr. Bush described the talks as a unilateral diplomatic initiative that will be under way before they know it.

I really have to stop in at ScrappleFace more often.

#7 Meehan said the resolution on Iran was needed because the Bush administration had lied so many times

...and you'd know lies when you saw them, wouldn't you Mr. Term Limits?

#8 I think it's about time to declare war on the idiocy that is Washington, DC. What is it with these idiots? Is there LSD in the local water supply? Is someone smoking pot commercially in the House and Senate office buildings, and pumping it through the ventilation system? This is just plain stupid, cubed.

Tom Tancredo's running for president. He's beginning to look more and more appealing with every word that comes out of DC. I know he doesn't have a snowball's chance, but at least he STANDS FOR SOMETHING, instead of standing AGAINST everything intelligent.

#9 OP: Some have called for a Ron Paul/Tom Tancredo ticket. Paul's a little out there to me (Libertarian), but Tancredo's basically the only one calling the shots on illegal immigrations that EVERY farkin' citizen in the U.S. has asked for! I'm all behind him makin' a BIG fuss over illegal immigration.

And, I don't get why Walter ("Cooter" from Dukes of Hazzard fame) Jones is sponsoring this. I (somewhat) understand it in terms of the Constitutional aspect of declaring war, but we haven't done that *officially* since WWII, have we?
