"CBS - Israel Prodding U.S. To Attack Iran"
"(CBS) Joint Chiefs Chairman Admiral Mike Mullen leaves Tuesday night on an overseas trip that will take him to Israel, reports CBS News national security correspondent David Martin. The trip has been scheduled for some time but U.S. officials say it comes just as the Israelis are mounting a full court press to get the Bush administration to strike Iran's nuclear complex.
CBS consultant Michael Oren says Israel doesn't want to wait for a new administration.
"The Israelis have been assured by the Bush administration that the Bush administration will not allow Iran to nuclearize," Oren said. "Israelis are uncertain about what would be the policies of the next administration vis-à-vis Iran."
Israel's message is simple: If you don't, we will."

And here's some fine blog comment:
"That's right Congress, your Master is calling. The "Chosen Ones" have chosen you batch of uniformed, clueless, money worshipping idiots to start a war with Iran, even though Iran poses NO threat to the USA, it is a thorn in Israel's side, so it's off to war we go, bringing another "Shock and Awe" campaign to another Muslim nation.
If there is a more traitorous, cowardly and treasonous bunch of bastards on the face of the earth other than the US Congress, would someone please let me know?
After hundreds of thousands of Iranians are bombed out of existenece and Gaza is reduced to rubble and Lebanon is bombed back to the Stone Age...again, by those "brave" men and women of the IAF and the world's economy has collapsed, will Israel finally be satisified?
Or will AIPAC demand more blood?
