Israel to Brief Bush on Strike Against Iran

As Bush arrives in Israel today, Israeli security officials will be briefing him on their latest intelligence about Iran's nuclear program... and how to destroy it.

Recent remarks made by President Bush seem to suggest that he is also intent on ignoring the National Intelligence Estimate. "I read the intelligence report carefully," Bush said. "In essence, what the report said was that Iran had a secret plan to develop nuclear weapons." He continued, "I'm saying that a state which adopted a nontransparent policy and had a secret plan for developing nuclear weapons could easily develop an alternative plan for the same purpose. So to conclude from the intelligence report that there is no Iranian plan to develop nuclear weapons will be only a partial truth."
