Reply #51: And when there is a terrorist attack which is "conclusively proved"

[RaleighNCDUer]

to have been spawned by Iran, the hawks will offer a new bill demanding action against Iran, and point to this one saying "everybody agreed then that Iran was a threat - unanimously! What has changed, except the reality of an attack on Americans/US soil?" Then, everone who voted for this will have to explain how Iran could be a threat, worthy of further investigations/sanctions/whatever, but not be a threat after it actually attacked.

It's a set up for the next Tonkin Resolution.
