Congressman to Introduce Resolution Supporting Israeli Strike on Iran
A draft resolution is circulating among members of the House of Representatives that endorses an Israeli military attack on Iran "if no other peaceful solution can be found within reasonable time." The resolution, written by Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) and currently being circulated for cosponsors prior to its introduction, does not clarify what is meant by a "reasonable time." "The United States does not want or seek war with Iran" the resolution states in its introductory section, "but it will continue to keep all options open to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons." It goes on to express support for "Israel's right to use all means necessary to confront and eliminate nuclear threats posed by Iran...including the use of military force."

"Stop bullying Israel" and focus on Iran
The number three Republican in the House of Representatives today told reporters, "I never thought I'd live to see the day that an American administration would denounce the Jewish state of Israel for rebuilding Jerusalem." Pence is a strong supporter of Israel and his remarks came just before a bipartisan meeting with Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Speaking of bipartisanship, Pence mentioned that he has penned a letter with Democrat Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. asking President Obama to focus more attention on Iran's quest to make nuclear weapons. The letter is expected to be released by American pro-Israel lobby group AIPAC later this week. (video link)
