“A recent decision by German officials to withhold support for any new sanctions against Iran has pushed a broad spectrum of officials in Washington to develop potential scenarios for a military attack on the Islamic regime, FOX News confirmed Tuesday. . . .

“Consequently, according to a well-placed Bush administration source, ‘everyone in town’ is now participating in a broad discussion about the costs and benefits of military action against Iran, with the likely timeframe for any such course of action being over the next eight to 10 months, after the presidential primaries have probably been decided, but well before the November 2008 elections.”

And when we’re finished with Iran (or maybe even sooner) . . .

“Israel believes that North Korea has been supplying Syria and Iran with nuclear materials, a Washington defense official told the New York Times. ‘The Israelis think North Korea is selling to Iran and Syria what little they have left,’ he said.

“The official added that recent Israeli reconnaissance flights over Syria revealed possible nuclear installations that Israeli officials estimate might have been supplied with material from North Korea.”
