On Heels Of Senate’s Iran Vote, Brownback Declared I’m Ready To Strike Iran »
On Wednesday, the Senate voted 97-0 to pass a resolution sponsored by Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) to censure Iran “for what it said was complicity in the killing of U.S. soldiers in Iraq.” The resolution required the Bush administration to regularly report to Congress on Iran’s role in Iraq.

While the resolution explicitly rejected authorization for immediate military action, the gist of the resolution declared Iran is participating in acts of war against the United States, thereby laying the foundation for a confrontation with Iran. Newshoggers wrote that the resolution may provide the “political cover for launching a war.”

Validating the concern many felt, Sen. Sam Brownback appeared on Fox News shortly after the vote and declared he was ready to preemptively strike Iran. Host Sean Hannity asked Brownback, “There’s probably going to come a point for the next president that they’re going to have to determine whether to go out and have that preemptive strike. And you’re ready and would be ready to do that?”

“Yes, I am, and I think we have to be,” Brownback answered. “Sean, if we’re going to be serious about this fight, and we’re in this fight, and probably for a generation. We’re probably in this fight for a generation.” thinkprogress.org

Yes, I do feel like I've been here before.

What a nightmare!

We can't keep the immigrants from invading our own country, why don't we bomb Mexico? Their government is in terrible shape, why don't we just go take it over?!?!

Iranian's, Iraqi's how can you tell who is who? Let's just go bomb them!

Part of the problem is the lines the English drew in the sand in the ME. Then proclaiming, 'this is Iraq, this is Iran, this is Syria.' Unfortunatly, they didn't consult the people who lived there. But their purpose was to break groups of people up, not to include people who belonged to specific groups.

Kind of like we did when we drove the Mexicans out of the SW of our own country. Or what is our own country today.:ohyeah

If it were up to me, I'd give Texas back to Mexico, along with New Mexico. But...in just a little while, the Mexicans will have taken it back without any trouble at all.

We need to get out of the ME. Now.

No way!! As soon as Bush is gone, we are so out of there. This was his vendetta and it's useless and impotent, much like the author - GWB.
