We have learned that Bush is considering dropping NUCLEAR BOMBS on Iran
and Congress is still on vacation? Don't you think the day this story came out that Congress members should have made a beeline back to Washington to find out what they hell is going on? Is it just me? How can they vacation while the psycho-in-chief is threatening to drop NUKES on Iran???? WTF? This isn't as important as them getting ANOTHER VACATION and eating Peeps from their Easter baskets? We all know Hersh's story is TRUE, so why the lackadaisical attitude by Congress? What are they thinking?????

The Democrats should be SCREAMING about this story. Why aren't they?

1. Becuase the Dems know what is going on and want to be on the winning side.
In the end, winning is the only safety.

I've noted this for some time.

2. Everyone should be screaming about this story, not just Dems.
This piece of shit war-monger Bush is not going to be happy until he destroys the world.

Bring on the rapture...it's all part of his "plan".

I cannot believe what a sorry state our country is in with this lunatic running the show.

3. What is the difference between
a nuclear bomb & a nuclear missile? Is there a difference?

7. A bomb is dropped from a plane, a missile is self propelled and guided.
It's that simple.

6. Congress mistakenly believes Bush will ask them
for support/permission before doing so. I think he'll go ahead and do it whenever he damn well pleases!

The damage will be done and he'll just say, "I will do what is necessary to protect the people of the United States!"

To which Congress will reply, "OK! Thank you Mr. President."

8. Sad, isn't it? They do actually believe he will ask for a Declaration of
War. However, he already THINKS he has that authority with the IWR.

It looks like the only way to stop him WILL BE BY THE MILITARY REFUSING TO DO HIS BIDDING.
