Oct. 1, 2007 (LPAC)--Norman Podhoretz, the guru of the neo-conservative movement and now foreign policy advisor to Rudolph Giuliani's 2008 presidential campaign revealed to The Times that he held a secret meeting with President George W. Bush calling on him to bomb Iran.

"I urged Bush to take action against the Iranian nuclear facilities and explained why I thought there was no alternative," said Podhoretz, told The Sunday Times. "I laid out the worst-case scenario of bombing Iran versus the worst-case consequences of allowing the Iranians to get the bomb." He also told Bush: "You have the awesome responsibility to prevent another holocaust. You're the only one with the guts to do it." The president looked very solemn, Podhoretz said. But added, "He gave not the slightest indication of whether he agreed with me, but he listened very intently."

Podhoretz concluded with a  fabricated My-Pet-Goat history for the President. "The key to understanding what is happening is to see it as a successor to the previous totalitarian challenge to our civilization," he said.
