BUSH/CHENEY QUEST TO ATTACK IRAN

I have read commentators and bloggers who believe that naming the Iranian Revolutionary Guard a "terrorist organization" will allow Bush and Cheney to sidestep obtaining permission and authorization from Congress in their quest to launch an attack inside Iran. As you can see from the text below of the Authorization to Use Military Force (AUMD) passed by the Congress in 2001, Bush has the legal authority to take military action against those he deems pose a threat of terrorism to the United States.

"That the President is authorized to use all necessary and appropriate force against those nations, organizations, or persons he determines planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, or harbored such organizations or persons, in order to prevent any future acts of international terrorism against the United States by such nations, organizations or persons."

Making the Revolutionary Guard a terrorist organization allows Bush/Cheney to attack Iranians without need for further approval from Congress.
