Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton asserts that with Iran's hard-line regime still in control, Israel's decision on whether to attack Iran's nuclear facilities is "more urgent than ever."
The unrest that followed Iran's disputed presidential election suggested that regime change could possibly be in the offing. But that prospect seems lost for the near future, or at least for as long as it will take Iran to produce a deliverable nuclear weapon, Bolton argues.
"Accordingly, with no other timely option, the already compelling logic for an Israeli strike is nearly inexorable," he declared in an article published in the Washington Post.

sure looks that way
If Israel doesn't stop them, they will have the bomb and it won't be long from now. Frankly I wouldn't be surprised if they already have one from either Russia, Pakistan or North Korea. If Israel attacks and Iran uses a nuke in response they can simply say they used it in self defense... And sadly much of the world will say Israel got what it deserved... Dark days ahead...
John Bolton should be sitting in the White House.
There is one problem. Without good BUNKERBUSTERS they need Special Forces on the ground.
Palin-Bolton: We can see Russia from here—and they aren’t about to bleep with us.
Spray em down with DDT.
Mr. Bolton comes closer to speaking the truth and knowing the reality than any other in the Washington Con game.
May Bibi and Israel steep themselves in prayer... they need it, we all need it.
None of these @ssholes has any credibility left.
Then perhaps YOU should run for President.

Actually, Mrs. panax and I voted (write-in) for Bolton/Palin. Still pretty much the same.
Obama’s ‘defense plan’ leaves us vulnerable !
I met a shite muslim man many years ago working in Richmond, va and over time began having frank discussions about religion and life in general, I being a Christian told him without Jesus sacrifice we would be consumed by our own sins, and Mohamm_mad was a liar and a thief.. he would say Jesus was not the son of God as God was too great to have children(which I found to be totally naive as all species have the abilty to have children and we are created in His image)
He began to speak of what they were waiting for to attack the world as is shown in their prophecy, to them there will be a time where the west will crumble economically, and due to some solar/nuclear event would have all electrical grids wiped out, all modern weapons would be rendered useless. That is when the muslim world will attack with swords and spears. He said the African Americans would convert to Islam as they have been long oppressed..although in the next breath he would say they made good slaves..(puke be upon Him)
Over time he told me his confidant was a blind cleric, and as a muslim he must get the approval from a cleric to make any decisions.. I am convinced he spoke of the cleric now in prison for the first world trade center bombing..
Of course the authorities know him...as after 911 he was so happy for the muslim world, and many colleagues reported him to the fbi/cia..
I am sure there are many interpretations of islam as there are Christianity, but make no mistake this is the overall view of the Iranian regime.
Our best UN Ambassador since Jeanne Kirkpatrick.
