Making contingency plans are a bad thing?

When we say we are prepared to do what it takes to make sure Iran doesn’t get a nuke, we should be clear with ourselves what we are saying.

Hey Pat!

It’s nice you view nothing worth fighting for and that negotiating from strength is an anathema, but you’re not in charge.

A lot of folks kick Bolton for being so forceful of word and proposed action ..

but any guy who wants to lop the top 20 stories off the UN building and turn the rest into a homeless shelter or actually retaliate decisively against our enemies instead of trying to hug them ..

is OK with me.

I sure as hell hope so. It’s been my analysis for some time that kicking the crap out of Iran would pay a lot of dividends. Besides they’ve had it coming since 1979. Because of 79 Revolution and Jimmah Carter’s inaction he gets most of the blame for the current state is Islamic affairs in the world today.

A change of regime in Iran would benefit the world.

The Wall Street Journal quoted one U.S. official as saying...

Stopped reading right there. So the people who are charged with national security are rattled when someone asks for a contingency plan in case any ass-kicking is required? (which has to be ordered by the president anyway) If so, God help us.

War in the same sense that Israel went to war with Iraq when it bombed the Osirak reactors. Except USAF and USN can be a lot more thorough, given the ease of ingress and egress vis-a-vis Iran - for US aircraft - from both Gulf kingdom air bases and carriers in the Indian Ocean, and combined US air assets 10x what the Israelis had available, not to mention the availability of allied Gulf kingdom air assets in supporting roles.

the IslamoNazis running Iran have declared war on USA, threatening (promising) to destroy at least 7 major American cities with their ICBM-nuclear bombs (as Obama enabled for them)....
if the Iranian dictators aren’t stopped they will be the death of us, literally

remembering also, that USA (under Jimmy Carter) helped afflict the Iranian people with these murderous thugs....
if we are ever to stop “regime change” then at the very least we should make sure the regimes are sane (and NOT threatening USA or our allies)......THAT would be a good time to refrain from “regime change” ... at least insofar as the dangerous mess in Tehran is concerned

Pat frequently espouses his isolationism..... which certainly has a strong appeal...if not altogether practicable in today’
s world

I have some problems with some of Pat’s advocacy, however...
it seems he promotes pacifism, appeasement, isolationism, whatever... whenever (or even when) it would benefit or enable America’s greatest enemies (like Iran’s current IslamoNazi regime, hell-bent on destroying their “Great Satan” -— guess who?_)

imho, pacifism has great appeal but not in the face of such dangers ... to the war-thugs in Tehran, pacifism is just a come=on, a welcome mat, a green light, a REQUEST, in effect, that they make more and more war...(and nuclear bombs to destroy USA with).

wrong policy. or at least, a very very wrong policy when dealing with such dangerous and aggressive enemies as Iran... very bad timing to stand down, fold up, and beg for mercy

“Is Bolton Steering Trump into War with Iran?”

No.

"Is Bolton Steering Trump into War with Iran?"

No. He's trying to prevent a war with Iran. But if some pot-mesmerized hippies want to indulge in their political chicken chatter to suck an enemy bully nation into a war, that's fine, too. Same with the religious anti-Israel fruitcakes.

Nah, I think we should wait until Iran hits Europe with nukes.

Then perhaps someone of these arm chair quarter-backs would have a clue.

I know that’s being generous...

Bolton is one of the FEW in the government who realized that Iran DECLARED WAR on the USA when they seized our embassy on 4 Nov 1979. The mullahs have been waging war against us ever since that date.
