Today Was The Day the Iran War Started (Updated)

Future historians will point to September 26, 2007 as the day the US-Iran war started:

By a vote 76-22, the Senate passed the Lieberman-Kyl amendment, which threatens to “combat, contain and [stop]” Iran via “military instruments.”

[Full marked-up version of the amendment here.]

Sen. Jim Webb (D-VA) called the amendment “Cheney’s fondest pipe dream” and said it could “read as a backdoor method of gaining Congressional validation for military action.”

Batten down the hatches. If Democrats thought they had a clear shot at the White House, they've got another thing coming.

UPDATE: Here's what World War III may look like.
