Former national security adviser John Bolton called for “disproportionate” strikes inside Iran after a drone attack killed three U.S. service members in Jordan over the weekend.

Bolton said Sunday night on NewsNation that the U.S. needs to carry out retaliatory attacks in the wake of the deadly drone strike. He said the U.S. needs to “impose enough pain on Iran” to ensure it does not attempt a similar attack on the U.S. again.

“To be clear, I don’t think it should be proportionate. I think it should be disproportionate. That’s how you create deterrence in the mind of your adversary, that the cost to them of attacking our forces is so high they won’t do it again,” he said.

“To be clear, I don’t think it should be proportionate. I think it should be disproportionate. That’s how you create deterrence in the mind of your adversary, that the cost to them of attacking our forces is so high they won’t do it again,” he said.

For once Bolton is correct, unlike those cowering under fear of the Iranians and their proxies. They have already murdered enough Americans to warrant regime change now.

Just like witches at Black Masses.

[Carriage Hill]

WTF is this even being “debated”?
OBLITERATE THE SUBHUMAN muslim(spit!) FILTH!

[Brian Griffin]

There are likely Iranian personnel helping out in Yemen.

Some large bombs will send them off to their 72 virgins.

[The Louiswu]

Skip all the dancing about, the wailing and gnashing of teeth, just nuke the bastards, is that disproportionate enuf you freak.

[rktman]

Has the u.n. warned is about civilian casualties? Has Israel?

[brownsfan]

When I agree with Bolton, it makes me re-examine my position.

[Carl Vehse]

"They have already murdered enough Americans to warrant regime change now."

Yeah, that's like picking another ride on the islamoterrorist merry-go-round. You'll still go in a circle.

[Brian Griffin]

There are too many.

Millions are in places like London and Paris we can’t bomb.

[ComputerGuy]

I agree with him. In this case.

[dfwgator]

Boom goes London
And boom Paris
More room for you
And more room for me
And every city the whole world round
Will just be another American town
Oh, how peaceful it’ll be
We’ll set everybody free
You’ll have Japanese kimonos, baby
There’ll be Italian shoes for me
They all hate us anyhow
So let’s drop the big one now
Let’s drop the big one now

[Brian Griffin]

That drone strike points out a weakness badly in need of fixing.

It may be true he is a war monger, but from personal experience, the only thing that will change the attitude of the islamic terrorist or islamic ruling class is raw death and pain. The Israelis know this. Arabs and islamics do not think rationally like westerners. It is to westerner detriment that we try to apply our rational thought to understand the mind of stone cold killers.

Do I want to see a war now? No, especially not under this admins leadership. They most certainly will eff it up. But make no mistake, proportional response will not dissuade the Iranians.

[rovenstinez]

He needs to join Hillary Clinton and Liz Cheney and start his own news group. I personally don’t give a whim what Bolton says. His time has come and has gone.

[Seruzawa]

You grab a rifle and some grenades and unleash some disproportionally, REMF.

[unixfox]

Millions are in places like the U.S., London and Paris we can’t bomb.

FIXED!

[af_vet_1981]

Yeah, that's like picking another ride on the islamoterrorist merry-go-round. You'll still go in a circle.

That was not the experience with Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan but Americans were more patriotic then and the political and military leadership especially.

$700 billion plus per year military budget and we have no real defense against drones.
