You knew it was bound to happen sooner or later. George has been itching to get into Iran even before the Iraq War started, and with this latest mess between Israel and Hezbollah, he's getting to scratch that itch. Ever since Olmert opened his big mouth to say he was certain that Hezbollah is tied to Iran, all we've heard about is how Iran backs the "terrorists".
George claims that he knows that Hezbollah is connected to Iran. Isn't this how we got into Iraq in the first place? Saddam was connected to Osama...had WMDs...ah, who knows what the real reason was.
President Bush declined Thursday to criticize Israel's tactics in its continuing offensive against Hezbollah guerrillas in southern Lebanon, and gave a sharp condemnation of Iran's role in the bloody fighting.
"Hezbollah attacked Israel. I know Hezbollah is connected to Iran," Bush said tersely at the end of Oval Office meetings with Romanian President Traian Basescu. "Now is the time for the world to confront this danger," Bush said.
The president was responding to statements from top Israeli officials that fighting could continue for several weeks more. Israeli Justice Minister Haim Ramon said world leaders, in failing to call for an immediate cease-fire during a Rome summit, gave Israel a green light to push harder to wipe out Hezbollah.
Bush said he hoped to see the violence end "as quickly as possible" and repeated his call for Israel to try to limit the impact on civilians. But he suggested that the Israeli campaign has his support for as long as it takes to eliminate Hezbollah's influence in Lebanon and its ability to attack neighbor Israel.
"Now is the time to address the root cause of the problem and the root cause of the problem is terrorist groups trying to stop the advance of democracy," he said. "Our objective is to make sure that those who use terrorist tactics are not rewarded."
Here it comes again: those damn "turrists" and the war on "terra". Is this shit ever going to end?
Sorry to say this, but Iran, it appears that you're next.
