I wish I found this as reassuring as Yoshie seems to. As I wrote at
slightly greater length on my blog, it sounds quite ominous to me. What I
hear Harry saying is that the President is not allowed to go on an Iran
joyride without taking Congress along. He did not say that Congress wouldn’t go
along – and in fact, given the proper Gulf of Tonkin setup, I’m quite sure
they would go along.Anybody think otherwise?
It was reassuring to see Jay Rockefeller’s comments in today’s NYT
But I alternate between thinking that the Dems are acting as some
relatively sane grownup leash on the pres, and thinking that they’re
just motivated by institutional narcissism. Let’s hope it’s the former.
