Biden Threatens Bush Admin With "Constitutional Confrontation" Re Iran

Biden Threatens "Constitutional Confrontation" re Iran

Sen. Joe Biden just informed Secretary of State Condeleezza Rice that, should the Bush administration attempt to cross over into Iran without Congressional approval, such action will provoke a "constitutional confrontation."

Sen. Biden is the chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

....

Sen. Biden further told Secretary Rice that Bush's escalation plan is a "tragic mistake." Sen. Jim Webb (D-VA) inserted a remark that the Marines have already been told that their stays in Iraq will be extended. Sen. Biden reiterated that every senator supports the troops and is amazed by the "overwhelming commitment" of the troops.
