George W. Bush turned down an Israeli request to attack Syria

According to George W. Bush's new book, the former president was specifically asked by the Israeli prime minister to attack a suspected Syrian nuclear facility.

And, Bush refused.

Oh, he thought about it first, and talked it over with his national security team, and considered different options. 

Then he refused.

According to the book, Olmert's exact words were ""George, I'm asking you to bomb the compound,"

And George Bush, best friend of Israel, firm defender of the Jewish people, said no.

Anyone else catching the irony?
