Bush has virtually declared war on Iran.
“Iran’s pursuit of technology that could lead to nuclear weapons threatens to put a region already known for instability and violence under the shadow of a nuclear holocaust. “Iran’s actions threaten the security of nations everywhere, and the United States is rallying friends and allies to isolate Iran’s regime to impose economic sanctions. We will confront this danger before it is too late.”
And,
“I will take all actions necessary to protect our troops,” he said. “I have authorized our military commanders in Iraq to confront Tehran’s murderous activities.”
Exact time-frame, unknown, almost irrelevant, Congress to do nothing.
