A senior Israeli government source told Army Radio on Tuesday that US President George W. Bush intends to launch an attack against Iran before the end of his second term.

The Israeli learned of the planned attack from a senior US counterpart who was a member of Bush’s entourage during the president’s visit to Israel last week.

The official said that Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney are convinced that military action against Iran is necessary immediately, but that the move is being held up by “the hesitancy of Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.”

Anyone surprised?

    Hey, just for fun, the editors on this blog should post on Jan 21′ Bush to Invade Iran’

    Mike,
    Make that Nov 12th…

    Surprised by what, Eideard?
    Rumors?
    Shame on you for supporting the FUD.

    The Timeline:

    Labor Day: The invasion of Iran begins with “Operation Your Awsome” aerial raid. Republican Convention begins. Harsh cries of outrage among delegates position this as not a “Republican” thing to do.

    Labor Day +2: Bush assassinated. Convention turns to grief.

    Labor Day +28-40: Osama captured. Cheney takes credit. Proclaims Republican policies did the job.

    Election Day week: McCain wins after Supreme Court rules on Florida “confusion.”

    Election Day +20-40: Bush assassination revealed to be work of Cheney.

    Election Day +60: Cheney dies of natural causes in Gitmo.

    Election Day +36,500: US completely out of Iraq for first time. General understanding is that US will be out of Iran “shortly.”

    AIPAC owns the US political system

  6. Mike says:

    They’ll probably just stage another attack like the Gulf of Tonkin and 9/11 and they’ll be no question as to whether or not we should invade.

    100 bucks says they’re that arrogant and think they can get away with another one.

    #34
    Day 2..
    Entire world of Muslims PISSED at the USA.

    I’m not surprised. All sorts of bleep is being posted.

    I’m not stupid enought to believe it either.

    The math says that if we just keep on doing what we are doing our military is going to implod and even a dolt like shrub most likely can understand that.

    A stunt like this is more than enough to get him impeached and that is something shrub can understand.

    If not, nobody is going to sign off on it.

    First: #34 “Cheney dies of natural causes”.

    Too late! Cheney’s been dead for years! He’s just too much of a hard-ass to admit it…

    Second: How in the world did Eideard find this piece of journalistic drool? I thought I was good at trolling the internet!

    This piece was written in Israel by Israelis for Israelis.

    If there was any substance to it, wouldn’t the prophet of all things liberal Keith Olbermann be all over this?
