NY Times Cindy-Bradys US and Israel

During the next four years certain things will go away, as they usually do during Democrat administrations. Homelessness, war, poverty, hopelessness, and anti-administration tattletales from the New York Times.

President Bush deflected a secret request by Israel last year for specialized bunker-busting bombs it wanted for an attack on Iran’s main nuclear complex and told the Israelis that he had authorized new covert action intended to sabotage Iran’s suspected effort to develop nuclear weapons, according to senior American and foreign officials.

The White House denied that request outright, American officials said, and the Israelis backed off their plans, at least temporarily. But the tense exchanges also prompted the White House to step up intelligence-sharing with Israel and brief Israeli officials on new American efforts to subtly sabotage Iran’s nuclear infrastructure, a major covert program that Mr. Bush is about to hand off to President-elect Barack Obama.

Note to the New York Times: it’s only a “covert” program when no one knows about it. Then again, I’m sure they know this and will do nothing to hurt national security while their man is in office.
