Israel Wanted To Bomb Iran?

[tekisui]

Israel wanted to bomb Iran and chimpy was the one to tell them no? Good god, they want to start World War III. If they thought attacking Iran was realistic idea, they are more dangerous than imagined. I can't believe that chimpy was the reasonable one on that. Although, his secret program raises questions.

1. Chimpy wasn't, Gates was. He finally listened to someone he

hired.

According to the Times, Bush decided against an overt attack based on input from top administration officials such as Defense Secretary Robert Gates, who believed that doing so would likely prove ineffective and could ignite a broader Middle East war.

2. Ah, thanks. I knew he could do no right. Keeping Gates looks like

it paid off. He knows the expectations of his new boss.

3. Pretty smart imo.

60 Minutes tonight had ADM Mullins praising Obama, but the plan for Afghanistan floors me. There must be something going on other than just beating up on each other. Diplomatic gestures? I don't know, but it bugs me.
