Of COURSE that's what the amendment was about
The Lieberman-Kyl Amendment was nothing more than a preemptive Get Out of Jail Free card for an attack on Iran. It was blatanly obvious to me the moment I heard that Bush was attempting to categorize the Iranian Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist organization.
The instant he did that we started walking down the path to war.
And I have zero faith in our completely worthless congress that it will stop once the ball is rolling. The Republicans are Nazi zombies and the Democrats are spineless idiots who are being led around like a bull with a ring in its nose. That, or they're DINOs and are secretly itching for a war too.
What the hell happened to this country? The idea that the only thing stopping a war would be the refusal of the military itself is, as Glenn rightly points out, an idea so bizarre that one would have thought it impossible. And yet, here we are.
The checks and balances do not work. Our representatives are either useless or lockstep fascists. Regardless, they do not listen to us and they do not represent us in the slightest.
If things don't turn around, and this regime is intent upon dragging us into another pointless quagmire, it will take a revolt of some kind by the populace to wake these psychopaths up. And I'm not talking about paper signs and marching in the streets, or not going shopping for a day.
