Bolton on whether Bush might bomb Iran before he leaves office: ‘I think so, definitely.’

In a Fox News interview this afternoon, former UN Ambassador John Bolton discussed his desire to bomb camps inside Iran that are reportedly training and arming Shiite insurgents who fight in Iraq. Fox host Martha McCallum asked, “Can you imagine a scenario where President Bush would do that before the end of his term?” Bolton responded, “I think so, definitely.” He added later, “This is entirely responsible on our part.”

Asked by McCallum whether Israel would be supportive of the strikes given the possibility of Iranian retaliation, Bolton responded, “I think they’d be delighted.”

1. That sounds more like a PNAC wetdream than anything else.

Of course, you can't put anything past Bush...

[Just-plain-Kathy]

5. WHY AREN'T CLINTON, OBAMA, OR EVEN FUCK FACE MCCAIN TALKING ABOUT PNAC?

WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A THIRD WORLD WAR IF THESE WOULD BE LEADERS DON'T STOP THE MADMEN IN OUR WHITE HOUSE!!!!

7. and don't forget that spinless Nancy Pelosi

Everything is already in place Bush is just waiting to pull the trigger.

2. If any man is doomed to spend eternity in the innermost circle of the innermost circle of Hell...

...it's John Bolton.

3. Sighhhh

The idea is not to increase the hostilities, this is not provocative or preemptive. He says that a bombing of a country is not provocative with a straight face.

Whatever meds he's on, I want some.

6. doesn't Bolton get dizzy

with all that spinning?

[Zambero]

4. McCain's Beach Boys parody = Bush's war policy?

"Bomb, Bomb, Bomb .... Bomb Bomb Iran!" Well, the song only has 3 chords. That's simple enough for Bush to hum along to, and hence incorporate into strategic war policy. Hey, Let's roll! :sarcasm:

8. These people have lost their damned minds...

"it's always a chess game as you know better than anybody..."

huh? since when?

"you've sat down with these people, you know, dealt with the diplomacy..."

there has to be a crack pipe under her desk.

9. Got a better idea

Did any of these guys ever stop to think that the best way to stop Iran from training and sending people over to Iraq to attack Americans would be to just get our troops out and then who cares who the Iranians train. Cheney just wants to attack Iran and his slack jawed idiot Bush sits in his little world and nods OK

[whistle]

10. Neocons continue to look for more wars to get U.S. into and Bolton

...is the #1 wacko pushing for more wars.

11. How was it that the Repugs

never shut up about Kosivo and Bosnia the whole time that went on? How come the Dem's don't have one word to say, now? Somebody needs to go back and look at the language used to condemn the efforts used to stem the genocide in Bosnia. The Repugs bitched to no end because it wasn't their war. Dems need to watch and learn from the masters of outrage and indignation. We fucking have none. Too, many flower children smoked too much dope, and now apathy abounds. We need some spines and some balls, to stop this shit before it starts. Something is way off base here. Is everyone being blackmailed or under threat of homicide? What's wrong?

12. Mr. Diplomacy

:sarcasm:

//i like the way those troops march!

[scarface2004]

13. go ahead...bomb everybody then!!

you asshole, bomb fricken luxemborg while you re at it asshole!!!

[micraphone]

14. What a waste of skin

this thing is (can't bring myself to call it a 'man').

Georgie and his band of treasonous warmongering crims already have plenty of water carriers. Who gives 2 shits what this one has to say? He's gone already.

SNAFU bolton.
