"Why don't we make Israel do it?"

"Well, one of the concerns people have is that Israel might do it without being asked," Cheney said.

Of no concern: Israel doing it after being asked. It's a question of ettiquette, really. I like this portrayal of Israel as American agent in the field, behind enemy lines.

Sanitario666: So, Iran.
INC: yeah, here we go. This ought to be fun.
Sanitario666: Is there an Irad? Because they should start planning ahead.
INC: well, we prefer to call it Korea
Sanitario666: Ah.
INC: but Syria is on the way
INC: so, we might just roll over that, too
Sanitario666: It's good that Israel might lead this attack though.
Sanitario666: We don't have to endure the ridiculous military build-up outside the state while the UN "talks" go on. Israel likes to act.
INC: yeah, Israel is all about shooting missiles from planes, rolling in the tanks, shooting more missiles, and some land-based rockets, then withdrawing and then asking a few questions, maybe.
INC: "So, did you have weapons, or what? Because from here, it looks like, 'no.'"
Sanitario666: "Well, 'not anymore' will be what goes into the report..."
INC: "By the way, we're keeping this part of your country."

Sanitario666: "Yet in France, some commentators expressed confidence that Bush's second term will start with a new emphasis on diplomacy and cooperation across a range of issues, even with regard to Iran. "

Sanitario666: Some commentators also think Jerry Lewis is a genuis.
INC: the French are just waiting to be outraged again
Sanitario666: They're setting themselves up for a big letdown.
INC: "WHAT?! They invaded again? Mon dieu!"

MEANWHILE, it's not on your news, but the Bush government really wants Canada to invest in the BMD, Ballistic Missile Defence, since obviously Canada would reap the benefits of such a program. The benefit of finally not being worried about missile attacks.

The newspaper quoted an unidentified Canadian official who was in the room as saying that Mr. Bush waved off attempts to explain how contentious the issue is for Prime Minister Paul Martin's minority government.

The President "leaned across the table and said: 'I'm not taking this position, but some future president is going to say, Why are we paying to defend Canada?' " the official was quoted as saying.

"Most of our side was trying to explain the politics, how it was difficult to do," he said. But Mr. Bush "waved his hands and remarked: 'I don't understand this. Are you saying that if you got up and said this is necessary for the defence of Canada, it wouldn't be accepted?' "

Bush is unable to understand the concept of crazy military expenses being a tough sell to the other parties and the populace. Especially when it's a joint venture with wildly popular United States of America. "Just say it's necessary! DONE. Don't you have a guy on staff who can make up great embellishments for you? Say there is proof of missiles being aimed at Toronto right now. I can even lend you Colin 'Smoking Gun' Powell if they still need extra convincing after that".
