Israel 'Approved' to Strike Iran

[TampaFla]

Two things...one recent, one past make me think this story is entirely possible: (1) comments made by Bill Kristol (noted neo-con, member of AEI, and editor of the Weekly Standard) to Juan Williams on PBS in response to Juan's comment that Israel will have the final say about when the US can withdraw from Iraq...Kristol replied, "Israel could care less" (we will see) and
(2) the Niger Papers and Bush's state of the Union address about them, are the reasons we are in Iraq now. They were forgeries and when the State Dept. investigated who forged them and why (and then dropped the issue), the State Dept. spokesman said it was a small time crook who did it for the money (said to be a few thousand dollars). In my opinion, it was more likely someone who's gain could be measured in the billions, not a small time crook. And, the reason the State Dept. squelched (sp) the investigation was more political than lack of interest. In fact, if it were a small time crook, they could sell the story "How I tricked George into going to war" for hundreds of millions today; afterall, NBC is willing to pay $1million for 15 minutes of Paris Hilton's time.
