I didn't see Biden on the morning show but a few DUers posted that Biden said something about something going down in Iran tomorrow.

What better way to distract us from the Alito hearings then a good bombing.

Someone please clarify!

1. I saw the quote
from the transcriptions....it appears that tomorrow was a generic term...as in, It could happen tomorrow .

That was my understanding anyway.....

3. I think Biden was making a hypothetical argument
asking the newslady if Bush went into Iran tomorrow, would you think it ok if he did it without Congressional approval?

I read the transcript here early this morning, and I don't know which news program he was on-if you can find out, you can read the actual transcript.

4. Biden said that according to Bush's legal team
he is authorized by Congress to attack Iran any time. I think he used 'tomorrow' in the hypothetical, as in "he thinks he could legally attack Iran tomorrow".

5. Biden asked should Bush ask the Senate and the Congress
before we go to war with Iran. Alito never really answered the question.

6. Rove engineered the Hajj stampede to distract us from the hearings
which were arranged to distract us from the Abramoff mess, which was arranged to distract us from the illegal domestic spying mess, which was arranged . . .

Anyway, it was a thumb.
