President Bush Supports Israel Against Iran

President Bush today strongly warned Iran against possessing nuclear weapons, and pledged that America will militarily defend its ally Israel if necessary. In the President's own words:

"The threat from Iran is, of course, their stated objective to destroy our strong ally Israel. That's a threat, a serious threat. It's a threat to world peace."

America prefers, he continued, to solve the nuclear crisis diplomatically, but the military option absolutely remains on the table.

These are powerful words, and the Mullahs better take notice that a nuclear Iran is completely unacceptable. Both Israel and the U.S. recognize the threat of this evil regime, and plan to take action accordingly.

Of course, to certain professors at Harvard, the President has simply been hoodwinked by the all-powerful Israel lobby. Since they feel that strongly, I suggest they move to Iran for a while and see if anything changes their minds.

Not new news here, Bush just reiterating what he has said in the past before. I think Iran is well aware that the US supports Israel to the extent in which President Bush spoke about.

Blah, blah, blah. Bush ought to support Israel's right to run the moslem vermin right out of Israel.

Hi Mini Me,

Yes, it's not new, but it's important for Bush to constantly repeat these important thoughts. He is one of the bravest and strongest men I have seen in politics. I'm thankful we have an individual in the White House during these most difficult times.

This statement is definitely good for Israel, but it is true (and this regards MadZionist's point too) that Bush's primary goal is to benefit the U.S., and not necessarily Israel. Concerning Iran, America's and Israel's interests generally coincide, so America certainly wants to help Israel here. This, of course, is a good thing, and I think Bush can be held to his word on it. But there is also something a bit troubling with what he said, and I plan to address that in a post later today.
