Although the White House denied a published report that U.S. President George W. Bush intends to attack Iran before the end of his term in January, the Bush administration is said not to have ruled out entirely the possibility of an attack on Iran's nuclear facilities. A story in the Jerusalem Post quoted an unidentified official as claiming that a "senior member" of Bush's entourage to Israel last week made the statement about attacking Iran in a closed meeting. However, White House press secretary Dana Perino said the article is "not worth the paper it's written on." She added that the administration's preference and actions for dealing with Iran remain through peaceful diplomatic means. Israelis who spoke to Bush and his entourage while they were in Israel last week said they had the impression that the military option "is on the table," and that the president felt a sense of deep obligation to overcome the Iranian threat. The Iranian issue was central in Olmert's meeting over lunch Monday with Pelosi, together with 12 other members of Congress in the bipartisan delegation Pelosi led.

I shall not vote for evil, lesser or otherwise.
And what happens when Russia and China join together and say fuck you Israel and United States? Does Olmert think they are going to just lie down and take this? Olmert is trying to start WWIV in order to divert the Israeli people's attention from his own criminal investigations.

Olmert is trying to start WWIV in order to divert the Israeli people's attention from his own criminal investigations. For that matter, how does Olmert think the American people will react when this action causes a barrel of oil to jump to $200?

From my readings of our sad history, this course could not be ruled out of consideration. See the "Young Turks" of 1914 for one small example.
"Satan / Cheney in "08" Lets have a money blockade on Israel and require all Israel firsters living in America emigrate to Israel.
Isn't it just wonderful how Olmert of Israel seeks to deploy/direct the United States Navy?

They own our Congress and King George weeps at the wailing wall. Goys beware.
What's even more "wonderful" is how the supposed "anti-war" Democratic Party is not condemning Olmert or addressing the possible ramifications of such an action.
