Report: Olmert to urge U.S. attack Iran

[Scurrilous]

<snip>

"Ehud Olmert will urge President Bush to prepare an attack on Iran, an Israeli newspaper reported.

Citing sources close to the Israeli prime minister, Yediot Achronot reported on its front page Wednesday that Olmert, who is due to hold closed-door talks with Bush in Washington, will say that "time is running out" on diplomatic efforts to curb Iran's nuclear program.

The United States should therefore prepare to attack Iran, Olmert will tell Bush, according to Yediot.

Israeli officials were not immediately available for comment, but pundits voiced skepticism given widespread belief that Bush, in his final months in office, is reluctant to impose another Middle East war on the United States.

Israel has hinted that it could resort to force to deny its arch-foe the bomb, but targets in Iran may be too numerous, distant and fortified for the Jewish state to take on alone."

2. Congress needs to take any war making powers away from this dumb ass...

shit head that occupies our White House, so that he does not have the ability to order an attack without coming to Congress for approval. I don't know how they can accomplish this, but it needs to be done.

4. Israel replacing our Congress now? Should we make our decisions based on what is good for them over

what is good for our domestic policies? They have the means to attack Iran let them go ahead and try. Or do they think that maybe they will be retaliated against and we won't?
