John Bolton: Bomb Bomb Bomb, Bomb Bomb Iran
John Bolton says that Iranians' rejection of their rulers means now is as good a time as any for the Israelis to bomb Iran. I actually heard this argument bandied around last week by a friend who had heard it at a dinner with high-powered New York business and media types, but I couldn't really take it seriously. I guess I underestimated the Right once again. Is it any surprise that the man who joked about nuking Chicago and virulently supported the Iraq war thinks that bombing Iran will solve Israel's problems?
The broader point is that Bolton does a lot to attack Obama's position but very little to defend his own. It's as if he believes the burden of proof is on those who don't favor war. But this is not 1981, Natanz is not Osirak, and the Iranian nuclear program will not be easy to destroy. The best the Israelis could hope for from an attack on Iran is a temporary setback to Iran's bombmaking capabilities, offset by a redoubled Iranian desire for a bomb. That doesn't seem like a good outcome for Israel.
Bomb John Bolton...
...and any other interventionist who thinks the US has some inherent right to use it's DEFENSE forces to shape the politics of a nation that belongs to another people, and bomb them equally, whether they're Liberal or Conservative interventionists by label.
Maybe then they'll understand why we're so "Loved & Respected" by those we've chosen to "Help".
Angst
I can understand the hatred that leftists have for John Bolton and Israel. They, after all, want to kill the Islamo-Fascists while the left thinks they can be "talked" to.
So how is Ogabe's "smart diplomacy" thingy working out for you guys????
nice strawman- progressives
nice strawman- progressives DON'T hate Israel, that's just more meanspirited and completely fictitious right wing rhetoric. We don't even hate Bolton, just view him as the chronically wrong idiot that he is. Nice job of maligning our president, as well, with your pointless dig- I guess that whole "you're an unpatriotic traitor if you say anything bad about the president" thing is just another hypocritical case of IOKIYAR .
BTW, after all these years, all these deaths and all these wasted billions of dollars, how's that "stupid diplomacy" from Bush/Cheney working out for ya?
Ya, well you know, its
Ya, well you know, its actually starting to work out. I mean people are voting and are no longer subjected to Uday's and Qusay's perverted whims. I've actually heard that no one has been fed to the lions since they met their timely deaths. Of course if you just view history through the MSM's 24 hour news cycle then of course you have no real perspective. But then again you probably don't realize that most of our countrymen were against the American revolution either.
Tired of all labels.
Divisive tactics. War...what is it good for? (as an old song goes) just money, power, and population control...the people in power are afraid of what the masses could possibly do so fear is instilled to make them comply with whatever and the best demographic for these people to control is young people...history is constantly repeating itself...People are people everywhere in the world, wanting the same things, needing the same necessities, but the Effort being expended is to keep people from realizing there is no real difference between a Southern Hillbilly and an Iranian because if these two are put into the same situation, together dealing with life circumstances, chances are they will become friends and just like when poor whites and blacks in slavery fraternization were a big concern so is those people who are not conforming to whatever is the point by governments today.
