Presidential hopeful Delaware Sen. Joe Biden stated unequivocally that he will move to impeach President Bush if he bombs Iran without Congressional approval.
“The President has no authority to unilaterally attack Iran and if he does, as foreign relations committee chairman, I will move to impeach,” said Biden, which was followed by a raucous applause.
Biden said the best deterrent to prevent preemptive military action in Iran is to make it clear, even if it is at the end of his final term, action will be taken against Bush to ensure “his legacy will be marred for all time.”
So often the Democrats speak without consideration as to how it might impact the soldiers in the field. If Biden feels this way as a member of the loyal opposition he should tell Bush 1 on 1. It's no more a threat if he says it publicly, but it does help him score points with a radical audience. What he has done here is embolden an enemy like Iran to ramp up attacks against our troops in Iraq.
The Democrats so often complain about the violence while protecting the violent.
