Concerning what increasingly looks like the inevitable bombing of Iran, we've seen Bush move closer to an attack by taking steps to link Iran with Iraq and our soldiers there, thus forcing the hand of the Dems. If Dems vote against attacks on Iranian targets, they'll be cast as non-supportive of our troops.

Once these dominoes are pushed over, the plan to attack Iran in earnest can then accelerate.

We've seen this nightmare before, political tactics being used to escalate war. It's what they do.
