The Senate approved a resolution on Wednesday urging the Bush administration to designate Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a foreign terrorist organization, and lawmakers briefly set aside partisan differences to approve a measure calling for stepped-up diplomacy to forge a political solution in Iraq.
Since last month, the White House has been weighing whether to declare the Revolutionary Guard Corps a terrorist group or to take a narrower step focusing on only the Guard’s elite Quds Force. Either approach would signal a more confrontational posture by declaring a part of the Iranian military a terrorist operation.
So we should not be surprised when President Bush, in months to come, decides, "You just can't talk to bullies. They only understand one thing." and he then sends U.S. troops in to eradicate this terrorist group and oops ... we forgot to tell you that this guard is also stationed outside the the Iranian presidents home.
