Jerusalem Post: 'Bush intends to attack Iran before the end of his term'

US President George W. Bush intends to attack Iran in the upcoming months, before the end of his term, Army Radio quoted a senior official in Jerusalem as saying Tuesday.

Straight from Cheney's office.

7. I think they will hit after the election.

If McSatan wins good for them. If Obama wins its still no sweat off their back.

Either way they have nothing to lose.

Mid/late Nov. to Late Dec. They will try it.
