Israel needs the US to attack Iran for them so of course this report has to be wrong. As you have noticed Israel has Nukes given by the US and has settled on Palestinian land illegally. The plan was to attack Iran and put Palestine in the position to give up the land. Yes Iran is helping the Palestinians people live.

Always more money first Iraq now Afghanistan. We know none of the money is really going to those causes. Look how much a Lobbyist made from the free US money do you think the GOP wants it to stop now.

Now we know Bush is a front for the real President. He is now known for who he really is a open liar who has never told the truth. What an example to children when now they know even the US President is a liar.
