From the office of Rep. Dennis Kucinich:

Administration's Terrorist Labeling Is a Calculated Plan To Set the Stage For War With Iran

WASHINGTON, D.C. (August 15, 2007) - Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) called the Administration's latest idea to label Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps as a foreign terrorist organization another step in the lead-up to war with Iran.

"The belligerent Bush Administration is using this pending designation to convince the American public into accepting that a war with Iran is inevitable," Kucinich said.

"This designation will set the stage for more chaos in the region because it undercuts all of our diplomatic efforts.

"This new label provides further evidence for Iran's leaders that there is no point to engage in diplomatic talks with the United States if our actions point directly to regime change, said Kucinich. "Our nation is better served by demanding sensible and responsible diplomatic foreign policy initiatives from the Bush Administration.

"This is nothing more than an attempt to deceive Americans into yet another war - this time with Iran," Kucinich concluded.

US: Military action on Iran 'not being contemplated'
Published: Wednesday August 15, 2007

The White House said Wednesday that it was not considering military action against Iran, as the United States planned to designate Tehran's elite Revolutionary Guard a terrorist group.

"Military action is not being contemplated," though no president should ever rule out the use of force, spokeswoman Dana Perino said as US President George W. Bush took a vacation from Washington on his Texas ranch.

5. How many years will this have to go on?

The rumors flew during 2004 campaign cycle - war with Iran is about to happen, etc.
I'm to the point of I'll believe it when it happens and not a minute before.
That said, Kucinich is right to call these neo-con bastards on their saber rattling.
