omg wtf.

In essence, the U.S. invaded Iran last night.

Bush seems to do this quite often: execute some sneaky maneuver while the country is busy being distracted by something else; in this case, his speech on the escalation strategy that he gave last night.

AMERICAblog sums up my concern thusly:

How exactly are we going to fight a war with Iran? Our generals told us we didn't even have enough troops to meet the needs of Bush's new escalation plan (the plan called for 32,000 more troops, the generals said we only have 22,000 or so available, that's it.) So where exactly will we get the troops to fight a new war with Iran, at the same time we're fighting a civil war in Iraq, and fighting an increasingly bad civil war in Afghanistan?
