How else can you interpret this “warning” – to George W. Bush, not the mad mullahs or the Holocaust-denying president (Mahmoud Ahmadinejad., not Jimmy Carter).

"The president does not have the authority to launch military action in Iran without first seeking congressional authorization," Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., told the National Press Club.

So when the Iranians test their first nuclear weapon, Harry Reid says Bush cannot respond.

When the Iranians drop a nuke on downtown Tel Aviv, Harry Reid says George Bush is merely permitted to click his tongue.

And when the Iranians begin to terrorize the rest of the world following that attack, Harry Reid insists that the President cannot use our military to deal with the threat.

I wonder – does Harry Reid believe that American troops are allowed to respond to a direct attack by Iranian troops that have crossed the border into Iraq? Or do the troops have to flee in the face of the invasion, since military action is not authorized against Iran?

But then again, I wonder if Harry Reid is part of the 22% (see question #19) who need their asses kicked?
