Ron Paul, recently, claimed that Nancy Pelosi ‘in the night, stripped out language that would prevent the US from attacking Iran without express congressional approval’.

Or something like that. It appears the Paul bloggers are alight with this right now.

But I’m having trouble finding an original source or bill number or whatever. Except something that Pat Buchanan wrote about something in March 2007.

Anyone have any further information about it? And, if so, does it appear that Paul is pulling a fast one?

Just a bump for the morning crowd.

Is Paul making it up? That seems unlikely given the scrutiny he receives. Is he overblowing it?

Is there a debate, or are you just trying to verify something?
