According to Sanger, an aide to Bush said the president immediately denied the request to fly over Iraq and deflected the other requests, telling the Israeli government Washington had developed a new covert action program to sabotage the Iranian nuclear project.
The U.S. government also briefed Tel Aviv on this program, which consisted of trying to disrupt the chain of nuclear suppliers to Iran, harass Iranian scientists, and sabotage equipment at Natanz.
“Several details of the covert effort have been omitted from this account, at the request of senior United States intelligence and administration officials,” Sanger wrote.
The first week in June 2008 the Israeli air force carried out a long-range military exercise that strongly resembled a rehearsal for bombing Iran’s nuclear facilities. It included helicopters and refueling tankers that flew more than 900 miles, about the same distance from Israel to the Natanz plant in Iran.

I wonder how our friends on
by IRANdokht on Sat Jan 24, 2009 10:38 AM PSTI wonder how our friends on this site would react and whose side they would take once Israel does attack Iran. How would they justify seeing the dead Iranian children? would that hurt these folks less than seeing them sleep in boxes?
Israel should not keep its standing as the 4th military power in the world. They obviously got the itch to use those bombs! there is no guaranty that they would not use their nukes either...
Preemptive war was Bush's doctorine, he's gone now and I am hoping Obama would put a stop on that lunatic idea.
