#3 Every major world power either does it, did it, andor would do it if they could. Dubya and espec Rummy would be held as irresponsible if they failed to use any and all INTEL collection abilities or resources at their disposal. How many times during the Cold War were US adminstrations heavily criticized domestically and internationally, by both allies and foes alike, for doing the same or mostly the same activities that they or the Commie Bloc was doing? Was it not the MSM whom reported from US agencies durng St. Bill's tenure that despite the fall of the USSR, that Russian intel acivities in Clinton-led America went up several fold!?

#4 Congressman Dennis Kucinich of Ohio has written to Bush, noting, "The presence of US troops in Iran constitutes a hostile act against that country," and urged him to report immediately to Congress on all activities involving US forces in Iran.

What the bloody blue hell does Kucinich think Iran has been doing against the United States since the Tehran hostage crisis - holding a friggin' bake sale!

The embassy in Tehran was sovereign US territory according to every diplomatic note in the books! Invading it and holding the embassy personnel - US citizens - hostage for 444 days was an act of war!

Any other superpower on the planet would have blasted Tehran off the face of the map, occupied the country, salted the earth, and left behind nothing but smoking debris.

Since then Iran has, again and again provided adequate provocation against the US for the US to pound them into the Stone Age - they have provided cover and funds to avowed enemies, they have attacked our interests in this and other hemispheres, flagrantly violating the Monroe Doctrine again and again. They have attacked our allies, bombed their citizens, and provided aid and comfort to our and our allies enemies!

Acts of war have been repeatedly committed against the United States by Iran or its agents!

Kucinish needs to get a friggin' clue! The United States and the Democrats and our people/citizenry need to get its collective head out of its ass and knock Iran down about a century's worth of pegs already!

Get it done or live with the consequences.
