"20/05/2008 US President George W. Bush intends to attack Iran in the upcoming months, before the end of his term, Israeli Army Radio quoted officials in Jerusalem as saying Tuesday. 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.
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.
The report said that according to assessments in Israel, recent turmoil in Lebanon, where according to them, “Hezbollah established control of the country”, was advancing an American attack.
Bush, the officials said, opined that Hezbollah’s show of strength was evidence of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's growing influence. They said that according to Bush, "the disease must be treated - not its symptoms."
In an address to the Knesset during his visit to occupied territories last week, Bush said, "America stands with you in firmly opposing Iran's nuclear weapons ambitions," Bush said, adding that allowing Iran to obtain nuclear weapons would be "an unforgivable betrayal of future generations."......"
