Matthews Battles Snow Over Iran Attack, Says He Fears ‘Extra-Constitutional War’

[bridgit]

'Tonight on MSNBC, Chris Matthews aggressively questioned White House Press Secretary Tony Snow about whether President Bush’s rhetoric last night was a “precursor for a rationale for an attack” on Iran.

Matthews said he feared the Bush administration would use a skirmish with Iranian fighters in Iraq as a reason to “bomb the hell out of them and hit their nuclear installations without any without any action by Congress. That’s the scenario I fear, an extra-constitutional war is what I’m worried about.” Snow told Matthews “you have been watching too many old movies,” but Matthews interrupted. “No, I’ve been watching the war in Iraq, is what I’ve been watching.”'

3. Snow = modern day Joseph Goebbels

If Goebbels was able to be prosecuted, I see no reason why Snow couldn't be prosecuted along with the rest of the cabal. Anyone in the administration who had anything to do with this illegal war should be thrown in prison.
