Cheney mulled Israeli strike on Iran

[Andre II]

It never ceases to amaze me ....

"Vice President Dick Cheney had at one point considered asking Israel to launch limited missile strikes at an Iranian nuclear site to provoke a retaliation, Newsweek magazine reported on Sunday.

The news comes amid reports that Israel launched an air strike against Syria this month over a suspected nuclear site.

Citing two unidentified sources, Newsweek said former Cheney Middle East adviser David Wurmser told a small group several months ago that Cheney was considering asking Israel to strike the Iranian nuclear site at Natanz.

A military response by Iran could give Washington an excuse to then launch airstrikes of its own, Newsweek said."

1. I bet they did more than consider it

Call it a hunch.

2. It would've been a flimsy excuse, at best.

Everyone with half a brain would see through that plan immediately.

Unfortunately, most Americans are only operating on 1/4 of one.
