You're working hard to explain away what is obvious: he doesn't believe that a nuclear Iran, jam packed with terrorists who are flowing daily into Iraq to man the phony "insurgency," is something in the US interests to deal with. Instead, if the US goes into Iran, he believes it would be entirely about Israel's interests. On the other hand, I'm not working hard to squeeze some Jew hatred out of him.
How do you know he thinks it's only Israel's interest and none of America's to nail Iran? Did he say so? Have you asked him?
I doubt that he thinks Bush is Israel's puppet, but he might. The point is, Israel has a lobby. And what is that lobby doing but serving Israel's interest, including an Iran operation?
I think we should settle Iran, and it would seem to be in America's best interest to do so, but the Congress of the United States hasn't been serving America's interests too much lately.
Maybe the Israel lobby's activities will be the deciding factor if we go.
What then?
On another topic, I notice your partisan defense and protection of Pollard. This would mean that, if you had been offered the same opportunities, you would have done the same thing, or you would be a hypocrite.

It's sort of interesting, actually; I've noticed that people almost always say exactly what they mean--but, luckily for them, almost nobody seems to notice.

I would not accept a job like Pollard's, since I'm a conscientious objector. However, your reasoning is faulty anyway; I've clearly stated that he deserves prison time for his espionage. I've merely said that serving over 20 years is far out of proportion to his crime.
By way of comparison: Pollard told Israel some things she needed to know, without harming US interests in the process; Clinton sold technology to China with which they will be able to target the US with MERV-based nuclear missiles. Pollard gets life without parole; Clinton gets six-digit speaking fees.
