My beef was with the connotation that Alaskan wheat would be something disastrous. No approval of the message intended. :)

This just struck me:

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Democratic leaders in Congress lobbed a warning shot Friday at the White House not to launch an attack against Iran without first seeking approval from lawmakers.
"The president does not have the authority to launch military action in Iran without first seeking congressional authorization," Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., told the National Press Club


Someone please get Mr. Reid a copy of the War Powers Act, quick. Ninety days, Mr. Reid. Bush has ninety days. We could flatten Iran before the President would have to grovel before Congress for approval.
