US President George W. Bush intends to attack Iran in the upcoming months, before the end of his term, Army Radio quoted a senior official in Jerusalem as saying Tuesday.

The official claimed that a senior member of the president's entourage, which concluded a trip to Israel last week, said during a closed meeting that Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney were of the opinion that military action was called for.

However, the official continued, "the hesitancy of Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice" was preventing the administration from deciding to launch such an attack on the Islamic Republic, for the time being.

The report stated that according to assessments in Israel, recent turmoil in Lebanon, where Hizbullah de facto established control of the country, was advancing an American attack.

Bush, the officials said, opined that Hizbullah's show of strength was evidence of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's growing influence. They said that according to Bush, "the disease must be treated - not its symptoms."

In an address to the Knesset during his visit here last week, Bush said that "the president of Iran dreams of returning the Middle East to the Middle Ages."

"America stands with you in firmly opposing Iran's nuclear weapons ambitions," Bush said. "Permitting the world's leading sponsor of terror to possess the world's deadliest weapon would be an unforgivable betrayal of future generations. For the sake of peace, the world must not allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon."

2. If I'm not in Denver....

On second thought, I'd leave Denver in a heartbeat and meet you in DC if this were to actually happen. No rest for the wicked in bush's case, and the weary in mine.

5. this is CLEARLY the Dems fault - and should be roundly blamed

We had years to start impeachment proceedings - and did not do so for political reasons.

This will be on the shoulders of Pelosi if it happens.

6. Sure he will.

Right after he wraps up that other mission accomplished next door. Just campaign spin to help keep the two neocons rolling down the campaign trail.

7. If that little jerk has his way,

we'd have all fought each other tooth and nail for nothing. He is NOT to be trusted. I wouldn't put it past him to enact martial law and suspend elections.
