'America would back Israel attack on Iran'

Telegraph News reports on W's statements concerning Iran and Israel. "Clearly, if I was the leader of Israel and I'd listened to some of the statements by the Iranian ayatollahs that regarded the security of my country, I'd be concerned about Iran having a nuclear weapon as well. And in that Israel is our ally, and in that we've made a very strong commitment to support Israel, we will support Israel if her security is threatened." His comments appeared to be a departure from the administration's line that there are no plans to attack at present and that Washington backs European diplomatic efforts. The remarks may have reflected Mr Bush's personal thinking on an issue causing deep concern in Washington."

W seemed to have some trouble with his answers. Didn't want to let everyone know what his acrds are. But we all know that the cards are stacked against Iran and Syria.
