John Bolton Suggests Nuclear Attack on IranThis Friday, the American Enterprise Institute will host an event addressing the question “Should Israel attack Iran?” The event includes, among others, Iran uberhawk Michael Rubin and infamous “torture lawyer” John Yoo, but the real star is likely to be John Bolton, the former U.N. ambassador whose right-of-Attila views left him an outcast even within the second Bush administration. (Bolton was eventually forced out when it became clear that he would be unable to win Senate confirmation for the U.N. post.)
If Bolton’s recent rhetoric is any indication, his AEI appearance may accomplish the formidable feat of making Michael Rubin sound like a dove. Discussing Iran during a Tuesday speech at the University of Chicago, Bolton appeared to call for nothing less than an Israeli nuclear first strike against the Islamic Republic. (The speech, sponsored by the University Young Republicans and Chicago Friends of Israel, was titled , apparently without a trace of irony, “Ensuring Peace.”)
“Negotiations have failed, and so too have sanctions,” Bolton said, echoing his previously-stated belief that sanctions will prove ineffectual in changing Tehran’s behavior. “So we’re at a very unhappy point — a very unhappy point — where unless Israel is prepared to use nuclear weapons against Iran’s program , Iran will have nuclear weapons in the very near future.”

by Shah Ghollam on Thu Oct 15, 2009 06:32 PM PDTI don't give a rat's behind about John Bolton or what he says. He's just another garden variety extremist like you. As much as you hate to see it, he's your mirror image, the yang to your ying, if you will.
Then I suppose that makes you a masked pussy cat, right ?
Also, I guess the answer to my question bellow was a resounding NO!
By the way, any sophisticated comments on what Mr. Bolton said?
Just as I expected from you. Is it any wonder why Mousavi did not succeed with fans like you!
Not really...

I think this "news source" that you have used here, along with you, should feature him too.
Seriously, you post something like 30 "news" (if you can call it that) postings a day on this site. Don't have anything better to do than Googling "Israel", "neocon" and "Imperialist", seeing what kind of grabage come up and posting it on this site? You say that you are a university teacher. Where do you teach that doesn't really require you to do any work? I want to get a job there too. Also, don't you have to do research and prepare for your classes? What kind of trash do you teach your "students" anyway?
John Bolton

John Bolton is nut case like yourself.
by پیام on Thu Oct 15, 2009 01:16 AM PDTNo one pays any attention to that lunatic guy. His comments are only used by hezbollahi's to make a case for their crusade against USA and Israel. But that tactic won't work anymore and even your masters are going to deal with the great sheytoon since they don't have the backing of Iranian population in case of an attack on Iran.
