Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton believes Israel will stage a raid against Iran's nuclear facilities if Democratic nominee Barack Obama wins the upcoming presidential election in November.

Bolton, often labeled a resolute neo-conservative, believes the Israeli attack would take place sometime between the day after Obama's win and his inauguration on January 20 of next year.

In an interview with FOX News, Bolton says, "I think if they are to do anything, the most likely period is after our elections and before the inauguration of the next President."

Bolton reasons Israel won’t be able to hold off a strike on Iran any longer than that given the Illinois senator's intended foreign policy toward the Islamic Republic.

"I don’t think they [the Israeli government] will do anything before our election because they don’t want to affect it,” he says, adding, “They’d have to make a judgment whether to [strike] during the remainder of President Bush’s term in office or wait for his successor."

As usual, Ambassador Bolton is right.

Bill O. opened the show tonight talking about Israel striking before the elections...this and the oil crisis have brought Barry's poll numbers down to the same as McCain's. Bill told Dick M. that Americans are afraid of a rookie in the WH.

[yldstrk]

That would certainly br my recommendation.

[tsomer]

Wow!

I may have to vote for the Obama-nation!

I had the pleasure of meeting John Bolton personally one on one and asked him about the neo conservative label.

He adamantly denies it.

He has no grudge against the term but does not see his self termed realism as anything shaped by a human rights agenda inferred in neo conservatism.

In his speech on campus he explained that Israel has an existential need to strike Iran. Its that simple. It has no particular grounding in democracy promotion or human rights symbolism.

I told him that I thought the term neocon was invented to cover up the fact that liberals have not had a foreign policy principal in 40 years.

he laughed at that.

[Michael.SF.]

I keep hearing this... what exactly is that?

Neoconservatism

[Rome2000]

God help the United States of America if Obama and his vile wife ascend to power.

Thats what happens when politicians keep amending the Constitution to expand the voting franchise against the warnings and advice of the Founding Fathers.

The final nail was the amendment that gave the vote to 18 year olds and then Motor Voter registering literally morons and illegal aliens.

Even if the muslim doesn't win, its only a matter of time before the socialists take over all 3 branches of government, and believe me, they will do what it takes to keep from ever losing power again.

Remember, GWB still has the ultimate constitutional and presidential power to suspend elections, general or otherwise, if he feels the US is threaten by a nuclear-armed Iran. So Obambi is quaking in his boots if the thought of a suspended elections suddenly materializes.
Anyway, it is a chess game between Iran, the US and Israel. The Ayatollahs have been warned through possible back door diplomacy about the threat of an attack either by Israel or with the US. It is up to them to tone down the rhetoric coming out from Almajhinutjob's mouth. Did you ever stop and wonder why GWB went to the ME at this early months of his last term to say goodbye to world leaders, and in the pretext of asking the Saudis to increase oil production? It is to warn them about the real possibility of an attack. Yes, they can wail about it, leak it to the press, but WH will always have plausible deniability.

"The US Navy has the coordinates of every damn thing in Iran, and don’t think for a minute we haven’t shared them with Israel."

Not just the Navy. The NSA has satellites that know where radiation is coming from. And Iran has the same radar system as Syria that couldn't see us and Israel blow up that North Korean reactor. Israel scrambled a lot of jets last week for a certain practice. They have the tech to blind every radar on the way to Iran.

Nice of John Bolton to agree with what I have been posting for a while:

The Obamination gets elected Potus, and it is January 20, 2009.

The Obamination has just said his version of being sworn in as Potus:

“ I do solemnly swear [or affirm] that I will not support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, I will not bear true faith and allegiance to the same: that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion, and I will not faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me Allah. ”

As the Obamination starts to speak, his Pentagon guy, Muhammed Ragshead, with the football tells the Obamination, that shorty after he was sworn in, Israel destroyed the political and military assets of Iran and Syria. The Mossad has killed every al Queda leader in Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Europe and America.

Also, Israeli leaders on world wide tv are showing and documenting the Obamination’s full Islamofascist connections and most of the rats in Congress. They have demanded the surrender of those members of Congress and the Obamination to Israel and Iraq for abetting the killing of innocent Israelis and Iranians by supporting Islamofascists.

George $oreA$$ and his family members and various phoney non profit leaders are in Israel at this time being tried as War Criminals.

At this time GW gets up with Laura, and they wave goodbye to the Obamination and his Obamabots as they leave for Texas.

All of your supposed actions by Iran assume that the US doesn't respond.

If Iran attacks US Forces, or tries to close the strait...they'll meet with hell.

Amen to that! I still can’t believe that this amendment passed...

...so you think that those between 18 and 20 who can serve in the military should be denied the opportunity to weigh in on policy that may end up killing them...
