The PROPOSED effort in Congress is merely a RESOLUTION that says the sense of Congress (or those there that agree with the resolution) is that such a strike would be in Israels' -- and possibly the US' -- interest. Perhaps. We don't know what it says and as it has little chance of passing and is merely political theater, I don't propose to waste time trying to find it and read it.

It's a dumb idea but that's what happens when you get 535 people under one roof -- a few are bound to be flaky. Make no mistake, that Resolution is flaky...
Ken, with respect what is flaky is that Israel has waited so long to neutralise this threat to their very existence.
