Military action against Iran: not ruled out

My “foreshadowing” sensors are going crazy, right along with my “bad sign” indicators. When asked whether or not we’re going to be using military force against Iran, a White House official gave a “no, but we’re not gonna rule it out”. Of course, the more disturbing bit was this:
Asked repeatedly whether the United States has the authority to enter Iran if it believes doing so would help prevent attacks, Hadley did not answer. Then came this exchange:
Host George Stephanopoulos: “So, you don’t believe you have the authority to go into Iran?”
Hadley: “I didn’t say that. This is another issue. Any time you have questions about crossing international borders, there are legal issues.”
Yep, I’d say we can safely assume an attack on Iran is imminent, and there will be a huge showdown ‘twixt the Legislative and Executive branches.

It’s really unbelievable. When Bush’s numbers were in the crapper, I just assumed it was because he still had Congress under his thumb.
Now we’ve got a Democratic legislative branch, Bush’s numbers at STILL record lows all across the boards, and the media still won’t man up and call it square.

Haven’t we already begun the attack on Iran with the raid on the consulate in Iraq?
Where are the Democrats and the ‘liberal’ media that supposedly learned their lesson in the lead up to Iraq?
