Bush Is Going For Broke

Another country that didn't attack America is in the crosshairs and their military is labeled "terrorists." The last one went so well, he's gonna do it again.

If they DO bring back the draft, let's hope rich affluent Republicans will be on the list. But don't hold your breath.

The Bush administration is preparing to declare that Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps is a foreign terrorist organization, senior administration officials said Tuesday.

If imposed, the declaration would signal a more confrontational turn in the administration’s approach to Iran and would be the first time that the United States has added the armed forces of any sovereign government to its list of terrorist organizations.

The Revolutionary Guard is thought to be the largest branch of Iran’s military. While the United States has long labeled Iran as a state sponsor of terrorism, a decision to single out the guard would amount to an aggressive new challenge from an American administration that has recently seemed conflicted over whether to take a harder line against Tehran over its nuclear program and what American officials have called its destabilizing role in Iraq.

If Bush designates the guard in Iran as terroists, does that then give him "permission" to attack them without congrssional approval??? the "blanket" permission to attack Iraq is so vague he might get away with it....Scary thought

And of course under the new Seizure laws, anyone who ever did business in Iran, or maybe hassent a present to a family member in Iran, or maybe flew on an Iranian airplane, etc., will now have all of *their* assets seized. You know, for funding terrorists.

This does not bode well for the price of pistachios.

It comes as if by schedule.

and then of course under his new presidential authority act, he cancels the 2008 election and declares martial law....
