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.
In an earlier post I wondered where the calmer heads in the administration were to be found.
It appears that those calmer heads are Condoleezza Rice and Robert Gates. I can only hope they have enough influence to keep this insane policy from moving forward.
Our very lives hang in the balance here.
I hope too but I worry...as always...( if he does there will be rioting in the streets...and I think there might even be a Military coup...)
