Even Israel thinks Bush is nuts

It's good they noticed that in time.

Maybe they will not be fools for the asshats in the White House, therefore proving that they have more sense than the Rethugs in congress, and, no doubt, a few Democrats.

George W. Bush and his neoconservative advisers saw the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah as an opportunity to expand the conflict into Syria and possibly achieve a long-sought, regime change, in Damascus, but Israel's leadership balked at the scheme, according to Israeli sources.

One Israeli source said Bush's interest in spreading the war to Syria was considered 'nuts' by some senior Israeli officials, although Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has generally shared Bush's hard-line strategy against Islamic militants.

After rebuffing Bush's suggestion about attacking Syria, the Israeli government settled on a strategy of mounting a major assault in southern Lebanon aimed at rooting out Hezbollah guerrillas who have been firing Katyusha rockets into northern Israel.

In an article on July 30, the Jerusalem Post hinted at the Israeli rejection of Bush's suggestion of a wider war in Syria. 'Defense officials told the Post last week that they were receiving indications from the US that America would be interested in seeing Israel attack Syria,' the newspaper reported.
