"Our president will do nothing. It’s all he is able to do."

Gee... Bush only overthrew Afghanistan and Iraq. And Bush does not need the support of Congress to bomb Iran. Slick Willy bombed 5 countries without Congressional consent.

“Bush does not need the support of Congress to bomb Iran.”

Bush does not have the political support to engage Iran. He squandered it by subordinating the US mission to Iraqi “leadership”. Yes, theoretically, he COULD bomb Iran, but to secure the nuclear capability against certain reconstitution, we need to invade not just bomb. Iranians are smarter than Iraqi’s - and they have distributed their nuclear capability and have hardened it. It will take a war to dislodge it to the point of certainty.

Bush does not have the political capital with Congress or the American people to fight a war with Iran. That is why I say with certainty that he will do nothing because that is all he can do. It’s just my opinion, and I’d like to be wrong in this case, but I don’t think I will be.
