Is it mate for white? If so, a white king move leads to mate in 2!

I love this part of the thread, when the right answer has already been given, yet people keep giving the same wrong answer over and over...

I agree (I think) that the answer is Bf8 but I am just checking.
Bf8 KxR
Qa3#

If the Bishop takes the Rook then
Bf8 BxR
BxQ#

Bf8 RxB
Qa1#

I don't think it is stopped but I am checking anyway.

I gotta give props to Iraqi insurgent for solving that. I looked at it for a good half-hour and couldn't find it. That's why I suck. It is pretty hilarious to see people keep saying Kxe1 is the answer when it has already been proven wrong. Thanks for the puzzle crazyblue.
