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.
The report stated that according to assessments in Israel, recent turmoil in Lebanon, where Hizbullah de facto established control of the country, was advancing an American attack.

he Progresive - Scott Ritter Warns of Bush Attack on Iran (2008)
Could be. Personally I hope their sphincter's loosen every time they hear it.
To the contrary, he know neither of the Dems have the right stuff to stand up to threat. Strike now - engage the enemy and commit your successor to a course of action.

Iran deserves a whole case of Sam's Club / Costco one gallon size cans of whoopass. Open 'em up, W!
Wait till a week before the Nov election...then strike hard!
I very well may be.
It very well may be.
I very well may be.
LOL, my wife tell me that, I must be startin to believe it.
just like Iraq?
> do you approve?
Approve?
I whole heartedly endorse it.
I hope it comes sooner than later, and it starts with a small nuke.
If Mr. Bush were to take out an Iranian nuclear materials enrichment plane by using a small nuclear device on it, it would accomplish 4 things.
1) it would get rid of the enrichment plant.
2) it would say that we mean business
3) it would tell the world that we will use a nuke if provided.
4) it would make a nuclear threat a real threat unlike the current hollow threat that the world believes it is.
Iraq had the sh-t kicked out of them in less than a week. I don't believe anyone plans on hanging out in Iran.
Thats a recipe for disaster and an abuse of office.
They keep saying they will attack us. If they get a nuke and kill all the RATS in Wash. should Bush just roll over and play dead? hmmm
Medicare Part D is socialism by anyone's definition.
We are fighting an Islamic Terrorist takeover of Iraq now from mostly outside fighters funded by Iran.
The Iraqis won’t attack training camps inside of Iran. They have an 8yr war history with Iran and won’t get involved in military action against them. They’ll only deal with Iranians inside Iraq.
My scenario or yours....both tragically possible.
