NYT: Bush Protested Planned Israeli Strike on Iran (already had plans for U.S. strike!)

Fox News ^ | January 10, 2009

A secret Israeli plan for airstrikes on Iran's nuclear facility was scuttled last year when the United States rebuffed Israel in its request to fly through Iraqi airspace, according to a New York Times report on a covert U.S. program.

[Chode]

yup...

[mkjessup]

In the interest of cutting to the chase, President George W. Bush is on the record as having stated as recently as this past December 5th, “America will not allow Iran to develop a nuclear weapon”.

As it is not possible for our current President to know or guarantee what his successor will do regarding this issue, the bottom line is that George W. Bush effectively has eight days to neuter Iran’s nuclear weapons program, or he goes down in history as nothing but a limp dick who talked the talk, but couldn’t walk the walk.

That’s it. It’s time for GWB to fish or cut bait.

Operation Chaos created the path for Obama.

Quite the contrary. Operation Chaos was specifically designed to help Hillary back into contention -- to give Obama some competition. Somebody had to publicly air Obama's negatives -- since McCain's campaign had already promised not to go negative on Obama. Hillary was the only person who could do this.

Recall that, once Operation Chaos started, Hillary started winning primaries. Indeed, it was clear that she would not have won several states (e.g., Indiana) had it not been for Operation Chaos and conservatives re-registering as Democrats.

Operation Chaos achieved its objective. It helped Hillary make a race of it. And gave her an opportunity to throw a little mud.

Thus, it's hardly "responsible" for Obama in any way.

The New York Slimes has already filed for some sort of bankruptcy protection, I believe. None too soon!

Well, let me thing about your comments for a few minutes. You make some good points. Obama could have steamrolled right through the primaries without the beast in the mix.

I never, never, never thought Obama could win running so far to the Left. America is dead.

The next 10 days could be VERY interesting. Or NOT.

By the way, I’m a HUGE Rush fan. Just think he may have gotten this one wrong (or, maybe, it just got away from us).

GEORGE WASHINGTON: WHAT DID HE KNOW, AND WHEN DID HE KNOW IT?

[Proud_USA_Republican]

answer: General Patton who wasn’t afraid to tell treasonous scum like those who currently work at the NY Times to shove it up their backsides.

[sgtyork]

What you are referring to are contingency plans. And I’ll bet those plans get updated every couple of weeks.

[El Gato]

How did we win World War II with the New York Times around?

We were on the same side as Uncle Joe. The NYT did not want that war effort impeded, for sure and for certain.

[mkjessup]

The next 10 days could be VERY interesting. Or NOT.

I predict that our outgoing illustrious President will still be trying (and failing) to 'change the tone in Washington'.

[Deetes]

leaks leaks leaks ... we are sunk . God help us .

[tomnbeverly]

LOL the Times only hates Republican and Conservative Presidents....

If Obama wants to launch WWIII the Times will run the War PR campaign. Starting with Loose Lips Sink Ships.

[anniegetyourgun]

They will kiss his ring....and kiss their own country goodbye.

[PaRepub07]

frankly, I think this story is more nytimes BS.. They don’t have access to that kind of information. The nytimes is the worst of the worst.

Mr. Obama isn't president, yet.

I like you're attitude but what's going to stop him?

[2ndDivisionVet]

"I like you're attitude but what's going to stop him?"

A reporter with stones? Chief Justice John Roberts? Hillary's people? One of his Kenyan relatives getting liquored up and spilling the beans at the swearing-in?

[TheThinker]

Operation Chaos created the path for Obama.

It's probably better to fight Obama the Red now while there is enough of a conservative opposition. The beast may not be able to make a comeback after four years of failure. And she only becomes more shrill and desperate with age.

[lainie]

Oh, pfffhhhfftt. BS.
