"President Bush announced today that he has authorized
US forces in Iraq to confront Iran militarily. "I have
authorized our military commanders in Iraq to confront
Tehran's murderous activities," Bush said in a speech
to US war veterans in Reno. Simultaneously, US forces
raided a hotel in Baghdad and detained ten Iranians
who according to a U.S.-funded radio station included
members of an Iranian negotiation team."

Well, it surely sounds as though he is preparing people for the eventual invasion of Iran. I read the speech, and saw part of it on TV. If it happens, I don't know where he'll get the warm bodies to invade, without a draft....and, just when they started to offer people twenty-grand to join. I hope I'm wrong in my supposition...I thought the man was nearly finished causing such trouble in our country. Is there no end to his idiocy?

I hope not. Hey, you know what is going to happen to the nations that support terrorism as far as history is concerned?
LOL Congress pull the plug on funding, thats, well, been talked about for quite awhile now hasn't it. No reason they should do it now unless they feel the election is close enough that they can benefit from it.

The administration has simply no understanding of the middle east and the power politics at play there. It is time to stop playing gopher for the Saudis who if they are so concerned about Iranian influence should do something about it themselves, they have the influence and the money. . How many more lives are to be lost before this warmongering brinkmanship stops?

Don't worry about Iran. We can't beat Iraq. No way will the USA attack Iran. It just won't happen.

If Iran military personal are in Iraq then they are indeed in the wrong place. Iran needs to back the hell off.

Didn't seem to work for Truman when he killed 300,000+ civilians in 2 days.

Congress is just about to pull the plug on Bush's purse strings.

No, because by the time WW3 ends, there won't be many history books that would dare mention Bush's name.
