The Democratic controlled Congress will not vote to go to war with Iran.
End of story.
However, this does not mean that Bush's hands are tied.
He can order up to 30 days of action, up to and including airstrikes, without the consent of Congress.
If for example Bush felt that Iran has developed nuclear technology and felt it was an immenet threat to US security, he could order the facility be hit with airstrikes, Tomahawks, cruise missles Etc....
This would likely get him lynched, as his approval rating is already gazing upwards at the toilet.
It would clearly cement Hillary as the next President, and likely villianize the republican party as well, not to mention having to deal with Iran, who are much more capable of attacking Israel than most of its neighbors.

The US supporting a Leninist nationalist insurgent group?!? That's gotta be a first.

Some distant part of me would like to think that some of them arent self-serving douchebag, career politicians, who are so wrapped up in thier own shit that they cant even admit the truth when they get caught tricking woo in an airport bathroom.
