Link to it. I've had it running around the internet trying to verify your claims. Besides, even if what you say is true, it proves absolutely nothing.

Here are three stories, indexed on newstrove.com (go to newstrove, type "Netanuahu and Cheney" in the search engine. The following stories appear in the first four hits).

"Don't Mind Us, Go Strike Iraq"

By Julie Stahl

Jerusalem Bureau Chief

www.CNSNews.com - Israel has told the United States not to wait for the situation to become calm here before it acts against Iraq, a respected Israeli newspaper reported on Friday.

Former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with Vice President Dick Cheney and National Security advisor Condoleeza Rice on Thursday in Washington ahead of Secretary of State Colin Powell's visit to the troubled region.

Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon enlisted Netanyahu as an unofficial emissary to speak on behalf of the country at this time. Regardless of what Israelis think about Netanyahu's rightwing political stand, he is recognized as the country's greatest spokesman to the West.

Netanyahu told the U.S. administration not to wait until there is calm in the territories before it proceeds with any planned attack on Iraq, according to the Hebrew daily Ha'aretz.

The paper said that Netanyahu had spoken to Sharon prior to his White House meeting and had briefed the prime minister after it ended.
