Biden Threatens "Constitutional Confrontation" Re Iran [UPDATED]

Sen. Joe Biden just informed Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice that, should the Bush administration attempt to cross over into Iran without Congressional approval, such action will provoke a "constitutional confrontation."
Sen. Biden is the chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
(I was just listening to the Senate Foreign Relations committee hearing on Iraq, via C-Span3. It just concluded. I thought his remark so significant you needed to know right away, rather than wait for a news story to appear.)
