Cenk Uygur writes in the Huffington Post The NeoClowns Are at it Again. It looks like to NeoCons, Iran is the new Iraq. There's stuff coming out about Iran including a House Intelligence Committee Report. That talks a lot about their nuclear program but also says they probably have biological and chemical weapons. Sound familiar? The report says:
"Although it does not have unequivocal evidence, the U.S. Intelligence Community believes Iran has an offensive chemical weapons research and development capability."
"Iran probably has an offensive biological weapons program but lacks clear intelligence proving that this is the case."
But that's it, it doesn't present any of the evidence they do have. I call foul.
Glenn Greenwald adds that Bush thinks war decisions are solely his. Now I think his quotes from Bush are little weak to back his position but inherent authority has been a theme of the administration. The part I don't get, is that Article I, Section 8 makes it very clear that Congress has the authority to declare war, not the President, why didn't Greenwald mention that? Was it too obvious? Is it not obvious enough for Bush?
