Cheney mulled Israeli strike on Iran
It never ceases to amaze me ....

"Vice President Dick Cheney had at one point considered asking Israel to launch limited missile strikes at an Iranian nuclear site to provoke a retaliation, Newsweek magazine reported on Sunday.

The news comes amid reports that Israel launched an air strike against Syria this month over a suspected nuclear site.

Citing two unidentified sources, Newsweek said former Cheney Middle East adviser David Wurmser told a small group several months ago that Cheney was considering asking Israel to strike the Iranian nuclear site at Natanz.

A military response by Iran could give Washington an excuse to then launch airstrikes of its own, Newsweek said."

1. I bet they did more than consider it
Call it a hunch.

2. It would've been a flimsy excuse, at best.
Everyone with half a brain would see through that plan immediately.

Unfortunately, most Americans are only operating on 1/4 of one.
