I like "Trailer Trash Cabinet". Maybe that will catch on? :-)

This move was telegraphed. Just based on naval movements, we've seen this coming. I agree there is no 9/11 unifying event. Personally, my biggest concern was "is this legal?" by our own laws. Congress rescinded part (or all?) of the unilateral authorization of force (passed in 2003, I think). So, the POTUS shouldn't be able to do stuff like this without consulting Congress. That's my big concern. If POTUS can get away with this, then what is the point in having Congress? Just clear out the Capitol and make it another ballroom.

I know it's self-centered. But I'm far more concerned about how our government operates than how the Iranian government operates. I can't say I'm sorry for the theocracy in Iran. Not shedding any tears there. But what about our democracy?
