So let me see if I've got this right: Hillary Clinton, the Democratic
frontrunner for the presidential nomination, is demanding that George W.
Bush take a more belligerent posture toward Iran.
In her view - and that of 75 other members of the U.S. Senate - President
Bush hasn't been aggressive or hasty enough in designating a large part of
the Iranian military, the Revolutionary Guards, as an international
terrorist organization.
Cheesy asked me to point out that Bush is an appeasing pacifist
liberal. <grin>
If he and Hillary have the same view, does that make him a Democrat? <BSEG>
The Senate resolution, approved on Sept. 26, recounts allegations that
elements of Iran's Revolutionary Guards have supplied Iraqi Shiite
militias
with "explosively formed penetrator" bombs that have shattered U.S.
armored
vehicles and killed American troops.
In response, the Senate resolution calls on President Bush to list the
Revolutionary Guards as "specially designated global terrorists." In
opposing the resolution, Sen. James Webb, D-Virginia, warned that the move
could be tantamount to a declaration of war.
Remember that catch all "whatever you think George" resolution that
the Reperstamp Congress gave Bush (in lieu of a Declaration of War)?
Well, it pre-authorizes the President to go after Iraq -or any other
state - that is deemed to be terrorist. This gives Bush the legal
cover he needs to start the attack. The Democrats are expanding the
war. Both parties are for it; the rest is talking points.
Two weeks from now is new moon. The US military is real good in the
dark.
Personally, I don't think that they are quite ready yet. However, who knows
what crazy George Cheney may do? I think that they were waiting for
something to happen here, so that they could play the terrorist attack card.
We may be waiting for that.
