September 23, 2007 (LPAC)--Newsweek magazine reported Sunday that VP Dick Cheney was considering a plan to have Israel launch missile attacks againt Iran's nuclear site, in order to trigger an Iranian reaction which would be used to justify direct U.S. involvement. According to a Haaretz wire, Newsweek quotes David Wurmser, until recently Cheney's Middle East advisor and a top neo-con lunatic, telling a group of people: "Cheney had been mulling the idea of pushing for limited Israeli missile strikes against the Iranian nuclear site at Natanz...in order to provoke Tehran into lashing out." Newsweek also reports that it had corroborated Wurmser's remarks.

Although LPAC has no direct confirmation of the Newsweek story at this time, it coheres with what Lyndon LaRouche has repeatedly explained to be the war-provoking intentions of Dick Cheney, and the financial circles who deploy him. (See: Beware the 'GUNS OF AUGUST' 2007 package).
