US Bombs Iran (with sanctions)!
With sanctions...gotcha. Apparently Bush is so warmongering that he decided to distract Iran with economic war while secretly sneaking in bombers.

U.S. Levels Sanctions Against Iran Military Unit
By HELENE COOPER and JOHN H. CUSHMAN Jr.
Published: October 25, 2007
WASHINGTON, Oct. 25 — The Bush administration announced a long-debated policy of new sanctions against Iran today, accusing the elite Quds division of the Revolutionary Guard Corps of supporting terrorism.
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson in Washington today announcing new sanctions against Iran.
The administration also accused the entire Revolutionary Guard Corps, a part of Iran’s military, of proliferating weapons of mass destruction. While the United States has long labeled Iran as a state sponsor of terrorism, the decision to single out the Guard reflects increased frustration in the administration with the slow pace of diplomatic negotiations over Tehran’s nuclear program.
The designations put into play unilateral sanctions intended to impede the Revolutionary Guard and those who do business with it. This is the first time that the United States has taken such steps against the armed forces of any sovereign government.
