I've grown apprehensive at the lack of concrete action to confront what seems to be multiple situations that require force.  Its hard to imagine interlocutors like Iran or North Korea ever signing a document worth the paper its written on.  I must say there is a time for negotiations and a time for war.  Both these states have shown themselves recalcitrant, to put it mildly, in foregoing nuclear "weaponizing" and both fail to meet good faith assumptions of credible contracting parties. 

Why must we opt for war on the sly?  Why not use the reality of Iran's proxy war against Israel as an act of war visited upon the United States?  President Bush needs to go before Congress and the American people and lay out the case for war.  I'm very confident Congress will then declare war and we can then move to full overt mobilization. 

Japan can be our operational partner in far East against North Korea, and Israel in the middle East.
