John Bolton: The consequences of a bad Iran deal
Dallas Morning News ^ | July 28, 2015 | By John Bolton

Posted on 07/28/2015 6:59:06 PM PDT by Brad from Tennessee

President Barack Obama has made an art form of attacking his opponents rather than substantively defending his own policies, most recently regarding the Vienna agreement on Iran’s nuclear program. Essentially, Obama argues that we must either accept his wretched deal or go to war to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.

As is typical, Obama posits the wrong choice, apparently to distract from the unpleasant reality that the agreement won’t work. It will not prevent Iran from getting nuclear weapons. So the real choice we are faced with is dealing with the consequences of military action or the consequences of a nuclear Iran.

Neither is palatable, but the latter is far worse. If the real objective is stopping Iran from getting nuclear weapons, preemptive military action is now inescapable. . .

What things did he say that you disagree with?

Didn’t the mustache man claim Iraq would be an easy success? Why do we listen to any W advisors anymore?

It is sad that a typer would call the honorable Mr. Bolton a silly name. I encourage all high school students to read his books, listen to his books on tape and then campaign for local conservative politicians. The Democratic party here in California is wealthy, cruel and very good at mockery.

At that point, Washington must be ready to immediately resupply Israel for losses incurred by its armed forces in the initial attack

Sounds good but Israel doesn't have the ability to launch a conventional strike of any significance.

I think you nailed it.

I, as do many others, have issues with many people on our side but when someone is right on a topic, I don’t hesitate to agree and acknowledge that fact.

Yes, he was a total Iraq war enthusiast. He wants to occupy the world with your money and your grand kids money spent (ha) and he wants your kids to go die so he can nation build. Bolton is a total fraud. Wake up!@!

Bolton is always bang on!

Iran? The falkers have already declared war on the US and that jackwagon in the white house wants to arm them and give them money to boot?

The magic negro needs to be tried for treason. He doesn’t have American interests at heart. Not by ANY stretch of the imagination.

He is enabling war, nuclear war, to come right here to America. We will be the theater.

“Occupy the World” ? Wow. Gonna need some more soldiers for that task. Maybe he can draft the occupy Wall Street crowd ? If we had followed Bolton’s advice in 2006/2007, Iran’s nukes would not even be a concern now, and Obama would not have had to blow all his remaining political capital on the issue. Have a nice night.

[Sounds good but Israel doesn't have the ability to launch a conventional strike of any significance.]

Another problem is that Iran's nuclear research sites are spread out. And the only sure solution to destroying the underground facilities would be ground-penetrating nukes.

The best success they've had is with cyber war and old fashioned espionage.

It would be interesting to see your sources/links for that opinion.

Many of us are pretty familiar with Bolton and some of us, unlike you, have been around here for quite awhile. I'm sure there would be more than just a little interest in your sources.

You could start a thread by posting the source(s).
