The United States lacks sufficient intelligence on Iran's nuclear facilities at this time, which prevents it from initiating a military strike against them, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has told European politicians and diplomats with whom she has recently met.

Bush also said that if such an attack were to take place, he would understand it. According to European diplomats who later met with Rice, the secretary of state did not express the same willingness to show understanding for a possible Israeli strike against Iran.

meshing with the scenario I've been talking about for the past 3 years:
Israel attacks Iran. Iran retailiates. We have to jump in to defend Israel.
Will Syria get involved at this point? You betcha.
