White House: JPost story on Bush attacking Iran 'not worth the paper it's printed on'
Reacting to this morning's story in the Jerusalem Post claiming that President George Bush will attack Iran before the end of his term, White House Press Secretary Dana Perino told reporters this morning that the article "is not worth the paper it's printed on."Reporting shortly after the morning White House gaggle, CNN's White House correspondent Ed Henry said:
A reporter pointed out to Dana Perino though that we heard these similar denials from the White House in the run-up to the war in Iraq. They insisted that diplomacy was the first option; military option was the last option. And wondering whether this is a replay, Dana Perino says it is not.Let's go to the videotape.
Well, what do you expect them to say? "Yes, we're attacking tomorrow?"

Awesome! It is not really a denial! Since the Jpost is read mostly online, and wasn't even printed on paper, it is in fact an implicit admission!
They want to keep everyone guessing. And they don't want Iran to know when they're going to do it. That's what I would do if I had an ace up my sleeve. The Democrats fear an "October Suprise" in the works.
