Iran so far away

Consider historical precedent.

• Bush started in the TANG, never finished.
• Bush attempted being an oil magnate, never finished and required a bailout from his dad's friends. Twice.
• Bush played with a baseball team and although profited heavily, was never really in control.
• Bush as Texas governor completed one term and then spent the first part of the 2nd term running for president.
• Bush got us into Afghanistan and then the shiny object that is Iraq, distracted him.
• Bush declared war in Iraq, yet failed to plan for peace and reconstruction and now plans to exit his job with this mess, unfinished.

Now he's rattling a sabre against Iran? Maybe somewhere, deep down inside, his goals are noble. However, his ineptitude at everything, minus rote memorization of talking points, makes this new objective more frightening than laying naked in a pit of rattlers. The joke is always, 'you can't solve world hunger'... now there's something he ought to shoot for. It'd rally the base, get the support of the world, Congress and most importantly his opposition. Instead, the boy just likes to blow stuff up and blowing up Iran isn't going to *fix* anything nor will he see it through.

Point being, unless a dramatic and unprecedented change in our law occurs, Bush cannot take us to war without the authorization of Congress. If this sitting Congress authorizes him to do so, every single 'yay' vote deserves a vote of no confidence from the constituency this November. If he attempts the 'UN approach' and declares it a righteous war to defend a resolution, would someone in a position of authority please remind him how much this administration hates the UN and fighting their "battles" is hypocritical? If he and the Attorney General weasel around all of the checks and balances and he, once again, misuses our military resources for more international dick-sizing, a censure is much too weak of an action.

Impeachment first, followed by a military tribunal for crimes against the nation. His ongoing abuse of power and misuse of national funds has weakened this nation security; militarily, economically, emotionally and spiritually.

It's been said before, but holds more true today with all the new intelligence made public, anyone who still fully supports the behavior of this administration is a myopic brainwashed nutjob.
