Senators Lindsey Graham, and Joseph Lieberman, CN, [View all]

co-sponsor bill to change the "redline" (the condition that would automatically lead the US into military action against the nation of Iran) from being the creation or possession of a nuclear bomb, to the condition that the Iranians "have the capability" to create such a bomb.

This is threatening our nation and our military to aggresively attack Iran just because they are sufficiently developed scientifically and technically to know how to construct a nuclear bomb.

As far as I can understand it, the Iranians already have that capability, and the only way to remove that capability would be to remove the brains of their scientists, or to assassinate their scientists (which is being done, with suggestions by some that the assassinations are being conducted by either the Mossad or the CIA--or both).

One of our Senators, Lindsey Graham is co-sponsoring the bill with Joseph Lieberman and refering to it as a "bi-partisan bill." Joseph Lieberman has long been observed to vote more often with the Republicans than he is with the Democrats, especially since he lost the Democratic Primary in his State, CN, in 2008 and had to run as an independent.

He does, however caucus with the Democrats (Which, IMO, is like having John Boehner sit in on the supposedly private discussions of Senate Democrats).

There are petitions making the rounds to defeat this Lieberman/Graham bill, but 30% of the Republicans in the Senate are set to vote for the bill at this time.
