The Only ‘Iranian Option’ Is an Israeli Attack to Stop the N-Bomb says John Bolton
Israel National News ^ | July 2, 2009 | Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu

Posted on 07/02/2009 4:45:34 AM PDT by Tzvi INN.com

.S. President Barack Obama’s policies have left an Israeli attack on Iran the only option in preventing the Muslim country from obtaining a nuclear weapon, former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton wrote in The Washington Post Thursday.

In an article headlined “Time for an Israeli Strike?” Bolton answered his own question by stating, "Israel's decision of whether to use military force against Tehran's nuclear weapons program is more urgent than ever."

and that window is closing quickly. There is going to pain either way. If Israel hits Iran or they don’t.

One of my biggest disappointments with Bush is that he didn't encourage and assist the Israelis with a strike on Iran's nuclear facilities during his administration.

The Israelis took out Saddam Hussein's nuclear program back in the 80s and the whole world was better off. Now they need to do the world a favor once more. Their very survival is at stake and they cannot afford to sit back and do nothing.

I think John Bolton is as correct here, as he was when defending the US 2nd Amendment against the UN usurpers.

When you have a total of approximately 200,000 American military in the field fighting in two Islamic countries, Iraq and Afghanistan, there are risks you take with openly siding with Israel in attacking another Islamic state.

One thing is sure the United States won’t do anything to stop Iran from getting the nuclear warhead.

If Israel attacks Iran, they should know right now that they are on their own. Bracko will be on them like stink on dog doo. He will lead the charge against israel.

That's true, but you certainly can't afford to wait until they have nuclear weapons. With imanutjob running their country, they seem to have the will and determination to use them. Allowing the Israelis to do the job gives us some deniability about complicity.

Israel must do what it must. It cannot expect Obie to do anything. Obie couldn’t even make a big speech on the horrors of the thugocracy beating and killing its own citizens.

Agreed. The shiite-head Ahmadinejad's nuclear ambition is totally Israel's problem now that obama is POTUS. The Euros won't do anything. The US won't do anything. Everyone is sitting around watching to see what happens next. Iran has made its choice, now it's Israel's turn.

I think Bolton . . .

is an interesting character.

I believe he’s connected enough with the oligarchy, part of the oligarchy enough to know to some degree the score and their plans.

Given that he’s saying such things . . .

it seems certain to me that the oligarchy is setting this up.

Given that . . . essentially they are cocking things more and more tightly . . . winding the spring more and more tightly toward Israel attacking Iran and lighting off WWIII . . . perhaps before Dec.

. . . in addition to the usual . . . fun stuff in such an eventuality . . . many sources warn about no electricity due to EMP [Electro-Magnetic-Pulse] weapons.

If we throw in the multiple predictions of devastating flu this fall [witness the UK gardener being told to be ready to burn flu victims’ bodies in the garden incinerator this fall]

Add in all the moves toward a new international currency . . .

. . . with this step thrown in along the way . . .

http://www.flickr.com/photos/federaljack/sets/72157619942099088/

. . . could it really mean that greater festivities than the 4th of July are within 6-18 months likely to be off and running?

I don’t know.

It does seem clear that all authentic Believers are being pressed into understanding and holding GOD ALONE AS OUR ALL SUFFICIENCY in all aspects of our lives.

I just know that the puzzle pieces are getting more and more interesting, in the classical Chinese sense of the word.

I’m curious if any of our END TIMES list have had heightened impressions the last 30-60 days.

Joel Rosenberg’s site last mentioned Babylon being rebuilt about a week ago.

Michael Boldea [Dimitru Duduman’s grandson] . . . posted last night about the Divine Courage of Apostle Paul . . . Acts 9:20-21 . . . his conversion from persecutor to preacher of The Gospel was instantaneous from the moment he received his sight to preaching . . . went from his heart being darkened to being filled with love . . . [thx to Joya for the summary] . . . nothing particularly prophetic unless one considers the boldness increasingly required of folks who Love Jesus and care about those around them in these darkening times.

Here’s the questions I listed on the ATS thread. Would love for any FREEPERS willing to answer as many as they felt like bothering with . . . maybe I should put them in their own thread hereon. I’ll do that. Please wait to answer them but I’ll leave them here for prayerful pondering in the meantime:

2. Is Iran a kind of . . . dry run . . . experiment in ‘rebellion control’ for the USA?

3. Can we expect ANYONE in the MSMedia break ranks with their oligarchic controllers and serve the people at a crisis point with THE TRUTH?

4. What percentage of our military can we expect to be truly patriotic in behalf of the mostly already shredded U.S. Constitution? Honduras comes to mind.

5. Scripture says . . . when the enemy comes in like a flood, God will raise up a standard against him. Will dramatic supernatural forces wielding Christians come to the fore in coming weeks in dramatic ways?

6. Assuming the prediction at the top is true . . . What TYPES of demonstrations in the Heavens might occur?

7. How many ATSers have had increasingly dramatic prophetic dreams in the last 30 days? I’m asking only those who have a track record of accurate predictive dreams/visions, please . . . . ????? If you don’t want to post under your screen name, please U2U me and let me post it anonymously.

8. Have folks’ SUDs scores risen significantly recently? [Subjective Units of Distress—1-10; 10=maximum] What would your score on average have been 6 months ago? What is it now?

9. What about say a sort of PREDICTIVE SUDS—an uneasy feeling that something is looming very close on the near horizon of a very dramatic nature? What would that score have been 6 months ago? What is it now?

10. How many ATSers have ‘planned’ to make preparations for major calamity for months if not years but HAVE FINALLY TAKEN ACTION in the last 30-60 days?

11. How many are CERTAIN they are TAKING ACTION for the first time this week?

12. How many ATSers are “coping” by escaping . . . into games, media, alcohol, workaholism . . . uncommonly, compared to past patterns?

13. How many ATSers are considering the merits of faith in God, in Christ more than before?

14. How many ATSers are planning to “head for the hills” at first hint of major events?

15. What percentage of your RELATIVES are awake to looming realities/probabilities?

16. What percentage of your workmates are awake to looming realities/probabilities?

17. What percentage of your social network outside the above two, are awake to looming realities/probabilities?

18. What percentage of your RELATIVES are awake to the looming global government forces?

19. What percentage of your RELATIVES consider globalists/globalism evil?

20. What percentage of your WORKMATES are awake to the looming global government forces?

21. What percentage of your WORKMATES consider globalists/globalism evil?

22. What percentage of your SOCIAL FRIENDS are awake to the looming global government forces?

23. What percentage of your SOCIAL FRIENDS consider globalists/globalism evil?

24. HOW MANY normally optimistic folks have had a real struggle maintaining their optimism the last 90 days?

25. HOW MANY have had a struggle sleeping the last 60 days WHO NORMALLY SLEEP LIKE A LOG?

26. What other questions in such ball parks would y’all like to ask each other?

It’s becoming a foregone conclusion.

Perhaps the current question really is: better to strike now while Iran is amidst political chaos, or wait for power struggle to work out one way or another?

with imanutjob running their country

The mullahs are running the country, not "imanutjob." He is just a figurehead.

This wholr uprising in Iran was a perfect time for Israel to take out Iran’s nukes as well as the Mullahs, while at the same time throwing its full support behind the Iranian people.

Bambi’s speech in Cairo sabotaged that.

Hate is one thing, but if the governments of those two countries turn against us, then we have a major problem. Overt American support of Israel for an attack on Iran would make the reaction to the Danish cartoons pale in comparison. We will be blamed in any event, but overt support would place the goverments of Afghanistan and Iraq in a very difficult position.

Or it could have cut short the protest and united the people against a common external threat. Most Iranians would not want the assistance of Israel in overthrowing the regime. It would be counterproductive for them and delegitimize the new government.

Number 20: I was in a meeting last week with a group of manufacturing CEOs I meet with once a month. We had a presentation about economic trends from two research authorities in the field. I was the only one that asked questions about the impact of possible coming world economic calamity. Complete denial from everyone in the room about 12 of us.

Denial is very common out there in the world. When it does unfold and denial fails, isn't anger next?

Excellent question.

Certainly some folks fall immediately into anger (& blame) when their denier breaks down.

Others fall immediately into despair.

Some oscillate back and forth between them.

I think, for many, they will need to be on suicide watch.

I think most believers are UNPREPARED for the numbers of folks who will be turning to them for answers and help.
