It seems that Jeff would prefer that Iran be allowed to fire first!

Date: Sat, 27 Jan 2007 11:25:47 -0800 From: Jeffrey Blankfort "These media failures are closely related to the power of the pro-Israel Lobby in the United States, which has paralyzed the Democratic Party and made it into an ally of Bush administration hardliners pushing for an attack on Iran.

Israeli leaders want a war with Iran, preferably with the United States doing the fighting, and this translates into Lobby pressures and hence Democratic leaders jumping on the war bandwagon, often trying to outdo the Republicans."An excellent article which leaves one with the feeling that an attack on Iran is inevitable. Given the current anti-Bush climate on Capitol Hill and elsewhere, however, I think that it will be Israel that will launch the attack, if there is one, because it would be loudly applauded and "understood" by both parties and both whorehouses of Congress whereas they would be obliged to criticize Bush if he were to launch it on the heels of his un-popular ziocon scripted escalation in Iraq.

If Israel does it, they will clap like trained seals when Bush formally announces that "US forces have joined those of Israel to prevent a second Holocaust," when Iran fires back.-JB
