The Jerusalem Post<\/a> reports that, according to Israeli Defense officials, President Bush plans an attack on Iran before he leaves office;<\/p>\n

US President George W. Bush intends to attack Iran in the upcoming months, before the end of his term, Army Radio quoted officials in Jerusalem as saying Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The official claimed that a senior member of the president’s entourage said during a closed meeting that Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney were of the opinion that military action was called for.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I figure Iran has a few months to think about it, though. I suspect that any attack would come after the November elections but before a new President takes office to blunt the political impact. Given the fact thatthe president waited until after the midterm elections in 2006 to announce the “surge”, it only makes sense. It may also complicate any plans that Iran’s clients have for the inevitable attack on US interests in 2009.<\/p>\n

Of course, the next few months will become an opportunity for Iran to reverse it’s current slide toward conflict and president Bush won’t have to use the hammer on them. But, it’s Iran choice, isn’t it?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
