Strike on Iran still possible, U.S. tells Israel

Ok, we'll reconsider giving you your war -- and then daddy'll buy you a pony, too. Anything to shut this brat up:

Bush administration officials reassured Israel's defense minister this week that the United States has not abandoned all possibility of a military attack on Iran, despite widespread Israeli concern that Washington has begun softening its position toward Tehran.

Yes, we'll put "another illegal invasion" back at the top of our to-do list, and unleash our flying monkeys to spread the word that Iran's about to nuke us -- even though we both know it's a lie, and will probably ruin what's left of our military and our economy:

Israeli officials were concerned in December when a key U.S. intelligence report concluded that Iran had abandoned an effort to build a nuclear bomb. They also have noted with concern comments this month by Navy Adm. Michael G. Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, that an Israeli airstrike on Iran would further destabilize the Middle East and compound the strain on overworked U.S. forces.

Whatever it takes to maintain our special relationship.
