Quote of the Day
President Bush today:
It's amazing how an overextended military can sharpen one's focus.

France has said they'd send some troops. ..... Today they had a statement. We're working with France. France is a friend. France is an ally. France has got a great stake in the future of Lebanon.
It's amazing how an overextended military can sharpen one's focus.

Bush administration spokesmen already are “ratcheting up charges” against Iran, he says, perhaps reaching for “an excuse to attack.”
“I hope this administration thinks through this very carefully.
“Who’s going to do the dying?"

Do you think that any action against Iran will involve Congress? Or has Bush all the loosely-interpreted, legal justification he needs?
Frightening thought really.

That's a good question. Recent history says that he doesn't HAVE TO consult congress for a rapid action.
Examples, Clinton bombed Sudan, Afgnanistan, and Iraq, although Iraq did have the previous resolutions behind it.
Let me rephrase, I think he might consult with a few leaders, for a one off bombing campaign, but if it's large, I would think they would try to pass something. (which would probably have to be done before the 2006 congress ends. So, into January?)

Not a bad guess. You may be right. If they choose to pass legislation, I think that lame duck window may be it.
