Bolton: I ‘Absolutely’ Hope The U.S. Will Attack Iran In The Next ‘Six Months’
Bolton: I ‘Absolutely’ Hope The U.S. Will Attack Iran In The Next ‘Six Months’
Yesterday, Raw Story pointed out that former CIA operative Bob Baer told Fox News that the Bush administration will likely attack Iran in the coming months. “Iran policy is on close hold, but the feeling is we will hit the Islamic Revolutionary Guard corps sometime next six months or so,” said Baer.
Today, former U.N. ambassador John Bolton appeared on Fox News and responded. He said that while he couldn’t confirm Baer’s statements, he “absolutely” hoped they were true:
HEMMER: One final step here, too, that I want to take with you. You told one of our producers earlier today that you don’t know if it’s true — and you’ve made that clear in our interview here, that you don’t know what the odds are or are not against that — but you hope it’s true. Why do you hope it’s true?
BOLTON: Absolutely. I hope Iran understands that we are very serious, that we are determined they are not going to get a nuclear weapon capability, and unless they change the strategic decision they’ve been pursuing for close to 20 years, that that’s something they better factor into their calculations.
Watch it:
Bolton’s calls for strikes against Iran mirror those of other neocons, such as Bill Kristol and Michael Rubin, who also pushed for the Iraq invasion. Bolton’s claim that “Iran is interfering in Iraq and is posing a direct threat to our troops” is not a reason to strike the country. In reality, both Gen. Peter Pace and the National Intelligence Estimate have confirmed that Iran is “not likely” to be a major driver of violence in Iraq.
Transcript:
HEMMER: The Bush administration reportedly deciding to designate Iran’s Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist organization.
So, what does that mean, huh? Well, according to the former CIA operative Bob Baer, it means the U.S. could be gearing up to launch some sort of military strike on Iran. Bob Baer was here yesterday morning. Listen:
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
FORMER CIA OPERATIVE BOB BAER: Iran policy is on close hold, but the feeling is we will hit the Islamic Revolutionary Guard corps sometime next six months or so.
HEMMER: With such an — that would start another war. Is the administration up for this, Bob?
BAER: Well, it’s not exactly it’s a war. It’s what the administration is convinced of, is that the Iranians are interfering in Iraq and the rest of the Gulf.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HEMMER: Well, that certainly got our attention. So we asked John Bolton, former U.S. ambassador to the U.N., for his take on that today.
Sir, good morning. Welcome back.
BOLTON: Good morning. Glad to be here.
HEMMER: Bob Baer says within six months his sources inform him that there will be a strike on Iran. Do you agree with that?
BOLTON: Well, I don’t think one can tell one way or the other. I don’t think there’s any doubt, based on the information we have, that Iran is interfering in Iraq and is posing a direct threat to our troops.
So I think if President Bush as commander in chief believes that information is accurate, he is fully entitled to take defensive measures, which could include going after the Revolutionary Guards inside Iran. […]
HEMMER: One final step here, too, that I want to take with you. You told one of our producers earlier today that you don’t know if it’s true — and you’ve made that clear in our interview here, that you don’t know what the odds are or are not against that — but you hope it’s true. Why do you hope it’s true?
BOLTON: Absolutely. I hope Iran understands that we are very serious, that we are determined they are not going to get a nuclear weapon capability, and unless they change the strategic decision they’ve been pursuing for close to 20 years, that that’s something they better factor into their calculations.

August 22nd, 2007 at 2:56 pmWhat troops would we use for a full scale invasion of Iran Roger? How would we then secure a country more populated, and 2x as large as Iraq? How would we prevent the Russians and the Chinese from sending their troops after us, after we threatened one of the largest energy partners?
August 22nd, 2007 at 2:56 pmOne has to be a traitor to even have the gall to reject using military strikes against Iran, now the biggest threat in the ME as measured by its terrorist-backing. Everyone from the Iraqi government to Petraeus to the Bush admin. actually concurs that technology and militia terrorists are streaming across the Iran-Iraq border to the detriment of US forces and Iraqi civilians. It’s not that the US has no evidence of this; rather, they have consolidated indications that all point to Iran. You’d have to be an Iranian-supporting Islamophile to deny Iran’s involvement in Iraq; after all Maliki was Iranian-backed and Al-Sadr (the little terrorist wannabe) gets active support from the terrorists in Iran. So, Bolton’s 100% right to want to bomb Iranian facilities in order to discourage them from sending soldier-killing tech across the border. The US military can do this because all it would take is the Air Force bombing facilities while the Army/Marines still contend with Iraq.
August 22nd, 2007 at 2:57 pm“Iran policy is on close hold, but the feeling is we will hit the Islamic Revolutionary Guard corps sometime next six months or so,†said Baer.
Won’t a limited strike on a small part of the Iranian amred forces result in solidifying a regime that is bent on defending itself from an attacker? Won’t this escalate the tensions and result in a widening of armed conflict in the region……oh yeah that’s the point, isn’t it.
August 22nd, 2007 at 2:57 pmFull scale invasion would have to follow if they were still content on attacking us in Iraq and building nuke bombs.
Comment by Roger_Roger — August 22, 2007 @ 2:54 pm
Uh, “content” or “intent”??? Just checking. Of course, by your logic, if we’re already on the ground in Iran, attacking them, which I’ve heard has been going on for months, would the Iraninas be justified in attacking us?

The best known and the one with most adherents is the Twelvers which have a large percentage in Iran 60% and Iraq 45%; the others are the Ismaili or Sevener, and Zaidiyyah.
Alawites and Druzes consider themselves Shias, although this is sometimes disputed by mainstream Shias. The Sufi orders among the Shias are the Alevi, Bektashi, Kubrawiya, Noorbakhshi, Oveyssi, Qizilbashi, Hamadani and Fatimid orders and denominations.

and you look the other way when it comes to pakistan and saudi arabia because you either like being lied to or because you enjoy doing what you’re told and not thinking a lick for yourself.
August 22nd, 2007 at 3:08 pmAl-Sadr has constantly attacked Iraqi factions (SCIRI and to a lesser extent Da’wa) that spent their exile from Iraq in Iran. The claim that he is an Iranian stooge is absurd; if anyone has been the stooge, it has been Maliki and his predecessor (not to mention the neocons’ favorite, Chalabi).
No one but an ignorant doctrinaire could claim otherwise.

and largely incorrect. It takes boots on the ground to truly defeat an enemy. Airplanes can do lots of damage, but it will still take ground troops. Read up on military history and strategy sometime.

Except that the only evidence we get is from peope who lied us into a war on the exact same evidence they’re offering now. Why would anyone believe these lying scum. the only people who still support bush are people like BOLTONwasonlychanceatUNreform or whatever it’s name is. Seriously, roger, roger, aren’t you embarrsessed by the kind of people on your side here at TP?
August 22nd, 2007 at 3:10 pmAnd my fear is that Bush is just insane enough to do it. Does he think that Iran is going to sit idly by once we bomb their country. Does he really want to take on the Iranian military. Does he really want to start World War III? Because that is what he will be doing.
Hopefully our military has had enough and will mutiny rather than attacking Iran. I read some time ago that there were officers in the military that said that is what they would do if we attacked Iran. I’m not sure if they were talking about nuking Iran or just attacking Iran, though.
August 22nd, 2007 at 3:11 pmHmmm, since a great deal of the explosives that are being used for the IED’s is coming from the pillaged weapons site at al qaaqa’ that we were supposed to be guarding after the fall of Baghdad, shouldn’t we be attacking ourselves since we are supplying explosives to the insurgents?
August 22nd, 2007 at 3:11 pmAirplanes can do lots of damage,
As a simple point of historical fact, air power, no matter how “precise”, no matter how it is intended, has the primary effect of killing lots of civilians.
Advocating a bombing campaign against anyone is tantamount to calling for the butchery of innocents. It’s only clean and antiseptic for the party with air supremacy.

So Roger, exactly how are we going to invade Iran? What troops will we use? Will we use the worn out troops that we have in Iraq? Do you have any idea how many people there are in the Iranian military?
Also, when are you going to sign up?
August 22nd, 2007 at 3:14 pmSo, Bolton’s 100% right to want to bomb Iranian facilities in order to discourage them from sending soldier-killing tech across the border.

Comment by BOLTONwasonlychanceatUNreform — August 22, 2007 @ 2:57 pm
You really honestly believe Iran would be “discouraged” from helping the Shia in Iraq if we bombed them? Just like Al Qaeda has been “discouraged” by our presence in the Middle East from beefing up its ranks?
No, if we bombed Iran, it would strengthen their resolve. Think about it. If another country dropped bombs on the USA, would it discourage us, or would it make us mad as hell?
Once we officially invite Iran into the war, a ground invasion will be necessary to maintain any kind of control, at minimum. We don’t have any resources left for that without reinstating the draft and conscripting our people in large numbers.
Then, of course, once we stalemate on Iran, we will look to see who is helping them — which will lead to some boneheaded politician advocating bombing China and Russia.
Before we get sucked further into the quicksand, we need to seriously think.

While we have a ton of confirmed information on Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and a ongoing resurgent of the Taliban in Afghanistan yet the administration is reluctance to do anything about those situations. Makes it hard to trust this administration as it has been completely wrong EVERY SINGLE TIME.

1) It makes a damn site more sense then hitting Iran would. Pakistan is a long term enemy of one of America’s long term allies (India), has a history of selling nuclear technology to rogue states (North Korea) and is currently home to the Taliban.
2) What Obama actually said was more along the lines of boosting aid to Pakistan, trying to get Pakistan to go along with the idea of wiping out the Taliban within their borders, and only once diplomacy has failed, leading a short term mission into the region next to Afghanistan to wipe out the Taliban. - contrast that to Shrub prior to the Iraq war.

Bush is getting ready to declare the army of another country a terrorist organization. Under the Authorization of Force passed by Congress, he can then attack at will. Geneva Conventions do not apply. And he can do this until he runs out of countries.

You do know that radio active material can be detected from satelites right. If they had any material you would be able to tell its exact location in Iran. If that information could be provided to the public that would be the smoking gun but it isn’t there that is why the government hasn’t presented it. Start thinking for yourself.

Maybe he is thinking like the retreating Iraqi army as they left Kuwait in 1991 — we can’t win, but we can leave a horrible mess for someone else. And then they torched the oil fields.
Perhaps Bush is just boneheaded enough to have adopted that strategy.

August 22nd, 2007 at 3:28 pmIran interfering in Iraq! Supplying WMD’s! Sending in special forces! Threating the Government of Iraq!

Crank up the re-history machine for more neocon distortions of the known universe. Because it has been the “conservatives”, for decades, who have argued in favor of supporting thugs and dictators for reasons of realpolitik. Even for a truly butt-ignorant troll, this lie is nearly a new record in ignorance.
August 22nd, 2007 at 3:30 pmWhat Bolt-on and the trolls (good name for a band?) are missing is that the Iranians, with one communication, can unleash a full scale attack by Sadrist and other militias in Iraq that would lead to the worst massacre of US troops since, well, maybe Yalu.

EXACTLY. And Intel TOLD Bush so several YEARS ago…
August 22nd, 2007 at 3:30 pmBolton’s calls for strikes against Iran mirror those of other neocons, such as Bill Kristol and Michael Rubin, who also pushed for the Iraq invasion.
——————————————————————————————-
They are not calling for an “invasion of Iran”, they are calling for airstrikes against Iran’s nuclear facilities and also, perhaps, certain Republican Gaurd facilities….maybe an oil refinery as well, as punisment.
No one is calling for an invasion with ground troops.

They’ve done too much damage to their own party for that to happen… so they plan to make just as big a mess in the world as possible so the next president, an big evil Democrat, can’t do anything while in office except clean up the mess.

“They are not calling for an “invasion of Iranâ€, they are calling for airstrikes against Iran’s nuclear facilities and also, perhaps, certain Republican Gaurd facilities….maybe an oil refinery as well, as punisment”
they’re not calling for an invasion of Saudi Arabia either, even though it would be more intellectually honest with regard to their reasoning.
August 22nd, 2007 at 3:34 pmSo let me get this straight. The President has the sole authority to define groups of people as terrorist organizations. Bush is getting ready to declare the army of another country a terrorist organization. Under the Authorization of Force passed by Congress, he can then attack at will. Geneva Conventions do not apply. And he can do this until he runs out of countries.

And Iran will just sit back and take it. But thats the beuty of it. If they do just take it the US is strong like bear. If they react and attack back then this would give the neo-cons the reason to fulfill Armageddeon.

I don’t know what your point was in posting that link. However, it sure likes the recruiters are getting desperate. Go back and read the comments. They are supposed to look like they are coming from 17-year-olds but I suspect that they were really written by recruiters who are trying to make enlistment look like a normal thing to do.
They are falling behind their recruitment goals and pulling out all the stops. We can’t continue GDumbya’s dirty little avoidable war in Iraq — much less invade Iran. We need more canon fodder.

August 22nd, 2007 at 4:06 pmRoger__Roger should be committed to a mental institution. His remarks show a truly insane view of the reality. Roger can not understand that Bush has destroyed the illusion of the United States as the only remaining super power with such awsome military strength that is indeed invulnerable.
Roger__Roger seems to believe that the United States has sufficient military strength to attack Iran and bring it to its knees. First, the Iranians have had sufficient time to build hardened facitlities that will resist current bunker busting weaponry. Second, Iran will react by feeding the fires of terrorism far more than they have now. We can expect a very active war against US troops in Afghanistan and Iraq. Third, such an attack would strengthen the hold of the extremists by uniting a pro-west population base behind the current leadership. Fourth, the United States military sword has been blunted because of the quagmire in Irag.
Roger: WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO GET THE TROOPS AND WEAPONS TO WAGE A MAJOR WAR IN THE MIDDLE EAST? WE DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH NOW AND IT WOULD TAKE SEVERAL YEARS TO INCREASE THE FORCE LEVEL TO SUFFICIENT SIZE.
I do not hear these idiots advocating for the kind of military expansion to back up their words. I do not see these cowards flooding into the millitary to provide the manpower. I do not see these fools calling for a draft to fill the ranks. I do not see these weaklings advocating for major tax increases to fund and support the effort.
August 22nd, 2007 at 4:06 pmBush has no intention of occupying Iran. Rather, the goal is to destroy major weapons-sites, destabilize the regime, and occupy a sliver of land on the Iraqi border that contains 90% of Iran’s oil wealth. For now, the administration must prevent the incipient Iran bourse (oil-exchange) from opening in March and precipitating a global sell-off of the debt-ridden dollar.

In its call for a unilateral military attack on Iran and the expansion of Israeli territory, CUFI has found unwavering encouragement from traditional pro-Israel groups like AIPAC and elements of the Israeli government.
But CUFI has an ulterior agenda: its support for Israel derives from the belief of Hagee and his flock that Jesus will return to Jerusalem after the battle of Armageddon and cleanse the earth of evil. In the end, all the non-believers - Jews, Muslims, Hindus, mainline Christians, etc. - must convert or suffer the torture of eternal damnation. Over a dozen CUFI members eagerly revealed to me their excitement at the prospect of Armageddon occurring tomorrow. Among the rapture ready was Republican Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay. None of this seemed to matter to Lieberman, who delivered a long sermon hailing Hagee as nothing less than a modern-day Moses. Lieberman went on to describe Hagee’s flock as “even greater than the multitude Moses commanded.”
