Probably one bullet point on a list of ideas. Was rejected outright, but since it was listed it was “considered” or “mulled over.”

What exactly do you suppose two unnamed “knowledgeable sources” would be, and how would they differ from, say, “unnamed sources within the White House?” For instance, I consider myself to be a fairly “knowledgeable source.”

He would rock the political landscape if he said he was going to run for President given the complete lack of men with nuts.

Probably the “knowledgeable sources” were 2 in the WH press corps.

Only in this administration can nothing have actually happend, but it be a bad thing that it had ever supposedly been contemplated according to some chicken-$h*t un-named source.

I’d say Iranian proxies in Lebanon fighting Israel would be enough of a “pretext”.

Who thinks up this crap?

We had pretext to attack Iran in 1979.

Cheney is addicted to oil. Energy independence from foreign energy suppliers is needed. No more purchasing and importing oil from the Mideast. Has he admitted this yet?

US Vice President Richard Cheney has considered provoking an exchange of military strikes between Iran and Israel in order to give the United States a pretext to attack Iran, Newsweek magazine reported in its Monday issue.

That's just silly, we don't need a reason, we've got plenty from the 1979 invasion of our embassy (sovereign US territory), the kidnapping and holding of our diplomats and military personnel, to the supplying of EFP and SAMS to be used to kill Americans (and Iraqis!).

We don't need an excuse, we need the cojones. And I think our Commander in Chief has them.
