Bush said Iran should be held accountable for their actions so now the doves must fly. Why the hell does he (Ahmedinejad - if it's spelled correctly) do missile tests if he has no intentions of using them?

It's actually Congress just taking back some power they gave up up to the president. He already has to go to Congress periodically to get approval for the forces already deployed into combat unless Congress passes a declaration of war.

In order for us to do so it has to be done with the approval of Congress.
