The promise of Armageddon?

JERUSALEM — US President George W. Bush promised Israel's
opposition leader Binyamin Netanyahu that the United States
will join the Jewish state in a nuclear strike against Iran, Israel
Radio reported today.

Former Prime Minister Netanyahu, opposition Likud party's hardline
chairman who opposes the US-backed Annapolis peace process,
reiterated to President Bush his stance, that a preemptive nuclear
strike against Iran's nuclear installations was the only way to stop
the Islamic nation's nuclear weapons ambitions.

"I told him my position and Bush agreed," Netanyahu told Israel Radio.

'Jerusalem belongs to the Jewish people'

During their 45-minute meeting at King David hotel in Jerusalem
Netanyahu also told Bush that "Jerusalem belongs to the Jewish
people and will remain under Israeli sovereignty for eternity."

President Bush issued a stark warning to Iran over Strait of Hormuz
incident, saying that "all options are on the table to protect our
assets."

“There will be serious consequences if they attack our ships, pure
and simple,” Bush said during the joint news conference with Israeli
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert in Jerusalem. “And my advice to them is, don't do it.”

Bush criticized those who interpret the National Intelligence Estimate, which found that Iran gave up its nuclear weapons program in 2003, as a sign that Iran was no longer a threat.

"Let me remind you what the NIE actually said," Bush stold reporters. "It said that as far as the intelligence community could tell, at one time the Iranians had a military — covert military program that was suspended in 2003 because of international pressure. My attitude is that a non-transparent country, a country which has yet to disclose what it was up to, can easily restart a program."
