WASHINGTON Taking military action against Iran could put President Bush on a collision course with Congress , leading Democrats and a Republican lawmaker cautioned Friday following Bush's threat of unspecified consequences for alleged Iranian meddling in Iraq .
It's been the consensus for months among the Democrats who hold the majority that Bush must get congressional authorization before any military strike.
But the authorization would be no easy sell. Two knowledgeable U.S. officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity because intelligence on Iran is highly classified, said that the administration so far doesn't have "smoking-gun" evidence that could be used publicly to justify an air attack.

the sad thing is that Pandora box has been open long time ago
so this is what it is middle ages with nukes its fun for teh whole family
It would not surprise me to hear that in this group a similar consensus exists that the world is flat. In neither case would this consensus opinion be true. It is my understanding that the President is always accompanied by a guy with a so-called 'nuclear football', and that at any time he could simply push a button and make a military strike. There is nothing that a consensus among Congressional democrats can do to stop this strike!

So I guess the murder of our troops, that the left said they support, is not a smoking gun. Videos of Iran made explosives. After 9/11 they voted twice for the President to do whatever he wants to protect the US.
The necessary intelligence is being held back by the enemy within. The CIA has too many Clintonistas and they are doing everything they can to keep a Bush success in the Iraq war from happening. Iran has been caught red handed supplying weapons and men in Iraq. Seventy three percent of the killings have been from Iranian operatives in Iraq. The necessity for the military strike on Iran cannot be stronger. The evidence for Iran's part in Iraq is part of the big cover-up. It is time to take the paper out of the tiger and fire up the cruise missiles and stealth bomber. It is Iran;s time to go.
