Democrat: Bush war on Iran 'likely'

In a recent interview with NPR, Webb (D-VA) said many Bush administration officials are pushing for a US military strike against Iran.
"Well, it (a military strike against Iran) certainly seems that it's on the table... There are people in the administration who would like to see that happen," said the Virginia Democrat.
In March 2007, Webb introduced a legislation which required the US president to seek congressional authorization before taking military action against Iran.
"This presidency has shot from the hip too many times for us to be able to trust it to act on its own. It's not the way the Constitution was designed. We need Congress to be involved in any decision to commence military activities absent an attack from the other side or a direct threat," Webb had claimed.
The bill was considered another futile Democratic Party effort after it failed to win congressional approval.
