US President George W. Bush intends to attack Iran in the upcoming

Jerusalem as saying Tuesday.

Slideshow: Pictures of the week The official claimed that a senior
member of the president's entourage said during a closed meeting that
Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney were of the opinion that military
action was called for.

However, the official continued, "the hesitancy of Defense Secretary
Robert Gates and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice" was preventing
the administration from deciding to launch such an attack on the
Islamic Republic.

The report said that according to assessments in Israel, recent
turmoil in Lebanon, where Hizbullah de facto established control of
the country, was advancing an American attack.

Bush, the officials said, opined that Hizbullah's show of strength was
evidence of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's crowing influence.
They said that according to Bush, "the disease must be treated - not
its symptoms."

In an address to the Knesset during his visit here last week, Bush
said that "the president of Iran dreams of returning the Middle East
to the Middle Ages."

"America stands with you in firmly opposing Iran's nuclear weapons
ambitions," Bush said. "Permitting the world's leading sponsor of
terror to possess the world's deadliest weapon would be an
unforgivable betrayal of future generations. For the sake of peace,
the world must not allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon."


----------------------------------------------------------------

Wouldn't they have to get approval by Congress of such a thing, or is
the
Constitution a dead letter in the US, and the US President able to
order
the US military to attack anyone he wants any time he wants?


And if the President does order an un-Constitutional attack which is
carried out by the Department of Defense and the military, shouldn't
he
and the other executive branch officers involved, both civilian and
military, be turned over to the victims of that attack for trial by a
military tribunal for their lawless aggression, or at least to the
World
Court, as evidence of good-faith rejection of such executive coup
d'etat
in and by the United States?
