Bolton: Gaza Crisis Means We Should Attack Iran Now
Bolton: Gaza Crisis Means We Should Attack Iran Now
Yesterday, on Fox’s Hannity and Colmes, Iran war hawk John Bolton said that Israel’s recent bombing campaign in Gaza is all the more reason for the United States to bomb Iran now. “So while our focus obviously is on Gaza right now, this could turn out to be a much larger conflict,” he said, adding that “we’re looking at potentially a multi-front war here.”
“You would strike Iran right now?” asked host Alan Colmes. “I would have done it before this,” Bolton responded. Colmes asked whether tensions and war across Middle East would escalate if the U.S. or Israel were to bomb Iran. Bolton said that the many Arab countries would secretly be cheering if Iran were attacked:
COLMES: So if we do that, they strike back, are we then in danger of creating a broader war?
BOLTON: I think in many Arab states in the region, although they wouldn’t say it publicly, they’d be doing the equivalent of popping champagne corks because the Arab states don’t want Iran with nuclear weapons any more than Israel does. What Iran could do is what’s already happening in the Gaza Strip or what might happen if they unleashed Hezbollah, terrorist attacks on Israel.
Watch it:
It’s hard to believe that the Arab world would be pulling out the party hats if Iran were attacked. Thanks to the policies of President Bush, the U.S is immensely unpopular across the Middle East. Iran, on the other hand, enjoys unprecedented support in Iraq, which is supposed to be America’s greatest ally in the region.
The LA Times reported last year that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad “has transcended national and religious divides to become a folk hero across the Middle East.” Ahmadinejaded, “the leader of a non-Arab Shiite nation, has ingratiated himself with the Middle East’s predominantly Sunni Arab population.”
Without regard for the wider war and increased regional instability that an attack on Iran would likely cause, Bolton believes the solution to a Middle East already in flames is to throw more wood on the fire.

what?
December 30th, 2008 at 3:24 pmit's just the smell of blood in the water.
December 30th, 2008 at 3:27 pmThe GOP just loves when people go to war and die. The fewer voters out there, the better their chances of winning an election. The GOP is destined to become the smallest, most irrelevant party in recent memory. Makes me smile.
December 30th, 2008 at 3:27 pmThe Republican party has a big wheel made by Karl Rove, kind of like on Wheel of Fortune. It has a variety of cards with political things they want. When something bad happens, they spin it and say that whatever comes up will solve the crisis.
That's how you get from "Gaza crisis" to "attack Iran." hey it could have been weirder - he could have drawn "outlaw stem cell research."
December 30th, 2008 at 3:29 pmSo is Bolton saying the Arab world will shower us with flowers if we bomb Iran, or what? Every day is a brand new day for these idiots.
December 30th, 2008 at 3:36 pmRight. One more thing for Obama to deal with: War with Iran. Bush has 20 days to make it happen. Pray he stays on vacation.
December 30th, 2008 at 3:37 pmOkay. I get it. Attack a peaceful, neighboring country that has nothing to do with the current conflict.
December 30th, 2008 at 3:38 pmBolton, you've learned so much from your heroes.
Terrorists from Saudi Arabia attack us on 9/11. How do we respond?
By invading Iraq, of course.
Mucking foron!
Is it too late to impeach Bush and Cheney now?
December 30th, 2008 at 3:38 pmJust seems to me like Bolt-on could lose his top 10 stories and be better off.
December 30th, 2008 at 3:38 pm... and the financial crisis means we should have less regulation
December 30th, 2008 at 3:40 pm...the election of Obama means Americans want him to be more conservative
...the collapse of American infrastructure means that we should cut taxes on the wealthy
...the enormity of Bolton's repeated and destructive failed predictions and proclamations means that he should be interviewed at least twice a day
Jeebus.
First, only idiots would listen to this neo-con man. Bolton has been the operative of the neo-cons ever since BushCo occupied the White House.
The thing is these neo-con scumbags must think that the American people are as dumb and easily manipulated as their support base: the shallow Christian hypocrites.
American people were 'fooled' by Bush with his WMD scare tactic - a lie Bush used to justified for the war against the country that had nothing to do with 9-11. Now, this evil bastard Bolton still thinks American people can be fooled again for the war against Iran. Bolton and the rest of the Neo-cons like LIEberman are nothing but Israel's operatives. They serve the interests of Israel at the expense of the American people's financial health and security.
Sometime it's hard to know if the Neo-cons are worse than the Nazis. But for now it's clear that they are just as evil as the Nazis.
December 30th, 2008 at 3:41 pmThe Arab world just loves it when we attack their countries. Just think how many shoes they'd shower us with in appreciation.
December 30th, 2008 at 3:42 pmI feel like we're all trapped in The King of Hearts. Except that the lunatics are far from cheery.
December 30th, 2008 at 3:43 pmAh, the militant stupidity of the Right. The French call it sottise.

“Bolton: Gaza Crisis Means We Should Attack Iran Now”
- - Bolton further cements his legacy as the absolute worst pick in an administration that's rife with them. Kudos, John!
December 30th, 2008 at 3:44 pmSure, Bolton. Whatever.
December 30th, 2008 at 3:44 pmYour children first, front line, mmmmmmmk?
God Help us all. January 20th cannot come fast enough for me.
December 30th, 2008 at 3:47 pmOk....WTF is this knucklehead talking about. Let me see if I get this straight. There is a war, so to end the war we should start another war that would lead to another war. Oh I get it!!
December 30th, 2008 at 3:49 pmThe man is a genius.
i watched 'charlie wilson's war' last night... great movie...
but i wish the first person who came to mind with phillip seymour hoffman's character had not been *JOHN BOLTON!*...
December 30th, 2008 at 3:50 pmit was the "look", not the character... but i couldn't get over it.
darn.
So Bolton, a neocon sack-of-shit would now have us invade Iran on the pretext that the Arabs will pop champagne corks......
Bolton, "you were wrong about Iraq" and as result of invading and occupying a Iraq - the Middle East is unstable and Iran dumped the inspectors and are hell bent on nuclear superiority in the region. Thanks to the eight-years of incompetence of Bush and neo-numb nuts like you, the last thing are great country needs is your dumbass advice!
December 30th, 2008 at 3:55 pmBolton is a PNACer to the bitter end.
December 30th, 2008 at 3:55 pmIt all does seem eerily familiar, doesn't it? Fortunately, we won't have a Neo-Conservative wingnut in the White House next year that might actually believe these idiots.
December 30th, 2008 at 3:55 pmDid Bolton get as many deferrments from Nam as Deadeye Dick did? I'd like to know how much military experience and especially military command experience Bolton has to aid him in making these assessments.
Also, I'm assuming that given Bolton's excitement about bombing Iran, that his children and maybe grandchildren are all enlisted in the military and ready to lead the charge of the invading forces?
December 30th, 2008 at 3:59 pmWe are running out of options but attacking Iran isn't one of them. I seriously doubt that anyone - including Obama - is going to get Hamas to respect Israel's right to exist.
I also doubt that Israel will willingly submit to being attacked by rockets every day.
No end in sight. None. George has only made the problems worse.
December 30th, 2008 at 3:59 pmOK, John Boy - Your daughter (and only child), Jennifer Sarah Bolton, recently graduated from Yale. You need to sign her up real quick into the U.S. Army so she can lead the charge and show us what great leaders and patriots you are. Go ahead. Make us proud.
What? You have objections? Why? Is she too good to be sacrificed? Is she better than anyone else?
December 30th, 2008 at 4:04 pmSomebody PLEASE turn this man over to the Hague
December 30th, 2008 at 4:09 pmBOLTON: I think in many Arab states in the region, although they wouldn’t say it publicly, they’d be doing the equivalent of popping champagne corks
is that along the same lines as throwing candy and flowers? can someone please commit this assclown to bellevue ASAP
December 30th, 2008 at 4:10 pmThe man is Obviously Badly in need of a frontal lobotomy and 10 rolls of rubber wallpaper! Come on January 20th and make the crazy people Go Away!
December 30th, 2008 at 4:10 pmI am reminded of how the Iraqis set fire to the Kuwait oil fields as they retreated in 1991. If they had to lose, they were at least going to trash as much as they could on their way out.
Bushco is doing the same thing. The time is ticking down for them, and Bolton is looking for an excuse -- any excuse, no matter how ridiculous -- to invade another country and create a bigger mess for the incoming administration to deal with.
Perhaps under Obama we can redefine "patriot" back to its original meaning?
December 30th, 2008 at 4:12 pmCurlew says
" Also, I’m assuming that given Bolton’s excitement about bombing Iran, that his children and maybe grandchildren are all enlisted in the military and ready to lead the charge of the invading forces?"
Curlew all I can say is that you have a better chance of getting hit by a meteor than any of Boltons relatives going to war.
December 30th, 2008 at 4:13 pmWhat, pray tell, is Bolton's endgame here? Iran doesn't possess nuclear weapons, but the conventional backlash against an American (or Israeli) bombing raid would be immense. They have a combined military\paramilitary strength of over 12,000,000 (largest in the world), control one of the world's major shipping routes, and our inevitable ground invasion following such a bombing raid would last decades.
Goddamn neo-cons.
December 30th, 2008 at 4:15 pmDear Lord of Lordy-Lords,
Protect us from that moustache if nothing else.
Amen.
December 30th, 2008 at 4:15 pmhmmm...then let the Arab states attack Iran?...and not us. Deal?
December 30th, 2008 at 4:18 pmEnnuiDivine Says:
"What, pray tell, is Bolton’s endgame here?"
C'mon, we all know what the endgame is here: Iran is one of the top three oil producers in the world. It's all about the theft of natural resources and munipulating the world's oil resources. always has been, always will be with these parasites.
December 30th, 2008 at 4:19 pmI hope Bolton gets cancer and suffers with it!
December 30th, 2008 at 4:25 pmI find talk about bombing Iran to be truly terrifying---even coming from this blowhard. If Israel is mindless enough to attack Iran, I hope we leave them to finish what they started.
December 30th, 2008 at 4:25 pmNo doubt about it, these guys are geniuses.
December 30th, 2008 at 4:27 pmYea, and if we outlaw abortion it will stop premarital and teen sex. If we institute the death penalty, it will totally alleviate murder. If we give up our freedom, no one will attack us.
December 30th, 2008 at 4:27 pmJesus. I'll bet when John Bolton wipes his ass his first thought is:
"Wow! This is a GREAT reason to bomb Iran!"
Moron. Go get your trills from Pammy Juggs & leave the rest of us out of your Dr/ Strangelove fantasies.
December 30th, 2008 at 4:29 pmDress him up in some fatigues, get him a machine gun and send him in...
December 30th, 2008 at 4:36 pmThe neo-con mind is in constant need of war, their drug of choice. They rely, depend, and profit from it.
The idiot has until Jan. 20th, 2009, these last three weeks may seem like a year to those who long for change!
December 30th, 2008 at 4:43 pm"Champagne corks popping" must be this year's version of "chocolates and roses."
December 30th, 2008 at 4:45 pmAttack Iran now and put Bolton on the front lines.
I bet that sissy would change his tune real quick!!
December 30th, 2008 at 4:46 pmOh dear lawd, Mustache says:
although they wouldn’t say it publicly, they’d be doing the equivalent of popping champagne corks because the Arab states don’t want Iran with nuclear weapons
1) Those wouldn't be champagne corks popping, you mucking foron!
2) Fact check. Which Middle Eastern country HAS nuclear weapons? Why, the country pummeling the hell out of Hamas right now, that's who. So, your an@logy does not work here.
Did I mention Bolton's a mucking foron!
December 30th, 2008 at 4:48 pmReally made sense back in the 80's to sell arms to Iran, eh Israel? What? The Reagan Administration told you to? Oh...
December 30th, 2008 at 4:52 pmMaybe the answer to all of this is to find a way to repeal the broadcast license for Faux - without that sorry excuse for a network, these morons would have nowhere to spout their insanity.
December 30th, 2008 at 4:58 pmIf any further proof was needed that Yosemite Sam needs to go away for a long time, this is it.
December 30th, 2008 at 5:08 pmI find it fascinating that Bolton uses the metaphor of "popping champagne corks" to describe elation in a part of the world where most people avoid alcohol for religious reasons. Even though he did modify it with "the equivalent of", it's still a signal to the rest of the world that America is pretty clueless when it comes to the rest of the world.
Any chance these fools will shut up after January 20?
December 30th, 2008 at 5:08 pmWhat scares me about this Attack Iran talk is....
IF Bolton is sayin it
Then Netenyahu and the Israeli Rightwingers are thinkin it.
December 30th, 2008 at 5:11 pmIrael has a Nuke to use on Iran or any country. The cells everyone was talking about are from Israel with the current attack and massacre to wipe Palestine of the face of the earth. The US wont show the pictures but they have been shown overseas. Known to the Middle East a a wing nut Bolten wouldn't serve the US Military but has no problem allowing Russia to join in to protect Iran from a US/Israel attack. The GOP and Bolten would skip over to Canada while Americans are killed. Bolten would say oops my mistake to bad Americans got wiped out. Israel's attack gives reason for all countries to get weapons to protect their citizens. Syria is already buying weapons from Russia after Israel bombed them for no reason. The Bush Policy is doing well as all countries will soon demand weapons as the US and Israel try to take over the World. This attack on Palestine has been planned and the US/Israel hoped other would help Palestine so they could be bombed too. Former Rep. McKinney was attacked by Israel as she tried to take medical aid to Palestine. Yes Israel lied about the attack on the McKinney boat as they have lied about everything else. God blessed Hezbollah from the Israel attack let's hope God does the same for the Palestine people. I saw 5 little girls blown up at their school by Israel. Why a children's school? Israel made us remember the horror of the Nazis now they have taken up the same bloody thirsty murders on woman/children. Bush has no problem with the murders as he sit back as the US killed 1 million innocent Iraq woman/children.

The Arabs I know are all Black Label drinkers, not champagne drinkers. They don't do that fizzy crap.
December 30th, 2008 at 5:18 pmuMMMM, DON'T tell Bolt-On, but most Arabs, being devout Muslims, don't pop champagne corks, as they don't consume alcohol. DumbassOfTheWeek Award to MustacheFromHellBolton.

__________
Interestingly, its original meaning in Greek had nothing to do with the nation or the state. It referred to a devotion to the common good, ethical governance, and charitable beneficence.
It's only in the 19th century that it came to have its current nationalistic connotation.
December 30th, 2008 at 5:26 pmBolton is certifyably nuts. He is still peddling the "we would be greeted as liberators" bull crap. What does he think the meaning of the shoes hurled at Bush's head is? Why does this guy even have a job. He certainly has no qualifications in foreign policy, only bizare opinions that never hold water.
December 30th, 2008 at 5:26 pmBolton clearly understands that if he doesn't keep up the bat-sh*t crazy neocon schtick, he won't get invited on FOX Nes anymore, and he'll have to go back to being whatever irrelevance he was the day before Bush poked a finger in the ey of the international community by sending him to the U.N.
And I don't care about Godwin's law -- I STILL say he looks like Hitler.
December 30th, 2008 at 5:27 pmWho in the hell cares what Bolton thinks or says. This man is so far detached from reality that he is absolutely clueless about the real world.
Some advice for you Mr. Bolton:
SIT DOWN & SHUT THE F UP!!
December 30th, 2008 at 5:38 pmThe only people who think Israel attacking Iran is a good idea are the weapons manufacturers who stand to profit.
December 30th, 2008 at 5:39 pmJust who is paying Bolton to do what? His 'advice' is dangerous and delusional. I hope no one is paying heed.
December 30th, 2008 at 5:45 pmDon't know why, but every time I see this asshat on my t.v. all I can think of is this:

December 30th, 2008 at 5:57 pmFor Bolton a rainy DAY is a reason to bomb Iran, a headcold, if he gets a parking ticket
December 30th, 2008 at 6:03 pmThe sky is blue - we need to invade Iran.
The sun came up - we need to invade Iran.
Water is wet - we need to invade Iran.
My mustache is ugly - we need to invade Iran.

December 30th, 2008 at 6:46 pmI wish I can give this guy a military kit,a rifle,and a map that will take him to road to Tehran so he can fulfill one of his many NeoCon war dreams.
December 30th, 2008 at 7:02 pmHe is all talk and nothing else.
Fox network loves always to bring Bolton as if he is bringing something new .
The new thing he brought is his fantasy about joyful Arabs popping Champagne corks in love of another American war in the area.
This guy makes Cheney and Bush look like they are the most peaceful people on earth.
Just what the war profiteers want -- more war, more profit, more deaths, and more oil.
December 30th, 2008 at 7:27 pmSouthern Lebanon is Shia like Iran and also Southern Beirut. Gaza is Sunni. Sunni. Hamas is Sunni. Iran is Shia. Bolton is a sick joke.
December 30th, 2008 at 7:27 pmBolton would want to bomb Iran if he heard someone from that country fart.
December 30th, 2008 at 8:15 pmDoes Bolton the b@stard have children? If so they must hate him.
His blood thirsty desperation is becoming too obvious. Do these neocons fear peace as defense investments will not do as well... is it the blood they love? Or maybe they find joy in watching others suffer and die. It is a matter of hours and days and these filthy rotten neocons will no longer have any say in war activities. And for this reason, the timing of Israel's attacks are suspect.
December 30th, 2008 at 8:17 pmI have a solution for John Bolton's insanity. Give him a free KBR shower unit.
December 30th, 2008 at 8:20 pmTell me why anyone asks John Bolton ANYTHING??

December 30th, 2008 at 8:37 pm(continued...)
COLMES: But wouldn't that further destabilize the Middle East?
BOLTON: Not if we overturned Roe vs. Wade. That would completely change the game and most of those currently against us would flock to our side. Banning stem-cell research would help, as well as executing homosexuals.
COLMES: But then wouldn't the U.S.A. become like Saudi Arabia?
BOLTON: Only if we continued to maintain our current levels of capital gains taxation. If we were to eliminate those, then our tradition of freedom would be sustained.
COLMES: How does that sustain freedom?
BOLTON: It goes hand-in-hand with eliminating the remaining regulations of our financial markets, in the name of Liberty. That's how we would still distinguish ourselves as Americans, while singlehandedly solving the Gaza strip crisis. After all, what could possibly go wrong?
COLMES: That sounds reasonable. Thanks for being on the show.
BOLTON: Glad to be here, Alan.
December 30th, 2008 at 8:48 pmThanks for that ElBruce. It make me laugh. You've captured the truly unhinged spirit of republican thought.

You know, I don't think Israel was that worried about him. He didn't share a border with them, and the most he'd do from time to time was launch the occasional SCUD - and those pretty much proved to be duds. Frankly, I think Saddam would have been better off not trying to set himself up as a check on Israel, but he wanted the Arab world credit for it. He just didn't have the technology.
But he definitely imposed a hard limit on Iranian influence throughout the Arab world, a limit that doesn't exist today, and which the U.S. is in no position to replace.

the US can't live through a snow storm let alone a million dead and 5x as much displaced.

We are already bogged down in two wars that Bush started and can't finish, and this bozo wants to start a third??!! Are these people secretly working for Osama Bin Laden?
December 31st, 2008 at 4:28 amWhy does everyone believe what they hear in the liberal media. Please, you people need to do your own research. Guess what, there was WMD in Iraq, and a bunch of the other crap the media said about Bush were fallacies. I voted for him twice, and I would have a third time if I could have. I know most of you won't read this, because you won't listen to ANYTHING that contradicts what you've been indoctrinated with, but this is a really interesting read.

December 31st, 2008 at 6:42 amI would do as Israel has asked us. They want to take care of thier own business over there. which includes taking care of the middle east countries that are causing problems.
December 31st, 2008 at 6:48 amThey know more about the middle east MUCH more than we do. after all, they have had conflict since almost the beginning of time.
I would tell Israel to give us time to get out of there , then let Israel HAVE AT IT. They know the people they are dealing with.
As far a women and children, war is war. Thats the way it is in ANY country.They are trained there to HATE us from the time they are born, it is drilled into them, no matter from what you think.I have been told that from someone from that country herself. ALL of them, not SOME.
There are too many bleeding heart liberals out there. quit whining. Do you want this mess in our country?? Then you would cry " why didn't the goverment help us?" They are already here ,infiltrating our country. You better pray to God some people in this country has the brains and know how to eliminate this mess we have allowed for years here.
Learn you politics and news from reliable sources, instead of the liberal lying media that stretches the truth, and other people who THINK they know. Thats the problem we have here in the U.S.A.. we have lost the part of our thinking process.
Now you can blast me for saying the truth, I don't care.
John Bolton - treasonously stupid.

December 31st, 2008 at 10:02 amDude, you did a "your mom."
.
Next up, expect to see Bolton in a series of commercials claiming that attacking Iran cures erectile dysfunction.
BOLTON: Worked for me!
KRISTOL: And how! (puts arm around Bolton, they kiss)
December 31st, 2008 at 11:54 am"Learn you politics and news from reliable sources"
I'd be curious to hear your suggestions on "relaible" sources. Thanks...

December 31st, 2008 at 12:56 pmI would go as far as to say he is a terrorist and a major threat to America and should be kept on a very short leash.
He has been talking about attacking Iran for months now and MSM has not even mentioned it in passing.
Is it 1/20/09 yet?

Are you suggesting that Israel attack itself?
Good idea!
December 31st, 2008 at 1:41 pmJohn Bolton s just another degenerate Zionist.

I can imagine the tragedy of appointing another warmonger moron of YOUR ilk that only wants to see Americans DIE. Punks like you just LOVE seeing Americans DIE. You traitorous vermin love nothing more then DEAD AMERICANS. Its party time at your house as long as Americans are DYING.
December 31st, 2008 at 6:53 pmBolton's advice is worth my last bowel movement.
January 1st, 2009 at 2:37 amsince iran is already involved in the mideast strife with its supplying of the insurgents there is no reason to think it will "widen" the war. And by the way, Iran is not an Arab country. are there people who write here that really know what they are talking about? I mean hating the usa isn't really a good common denominator.

January 1st, 2009 at 10:45 pmFor people who don't understand John Bolton and other creeps like him, you should read the "Book of Thugs," otherwise known as "The Talmud."
January 2nd, 2009 at 6:40 pm"popping champagne corks"... OMFG
January 6th, 2009 at 1:04 amTo stop this war which have been started by those moron Israeli the countries in Arab region should unite!The numbers of Israeli are too small...if people in Arab countries are united those Israel can be killed in less than a week!
Besides,I don't understand about US:Why they always bother n meddle on other countries problem?...if it is true that Iran have the nuclear tech.so what?The USA I bet are having this kind of tech.as well.So stop acting like u have appointed as the World's Police if u don't act as u said..
Morever,I could not accept n agree when that damn stupid old moron Bolton talking about attacking Iran..what a stupid old man he is!He should retire coz I think that he are having mental illness or some sort Of Alzhemier's disease which leads him to that stupid statement of yours!Bolton dearie:If you really wanna attack Iran I suggest u should put your wife n kids at the first line of the batalion!so that there'll be no more stupid Bolton's generation in the future n this automatically helps to promote peace to world again
January 8th, 2009 at 11:58 pmBolton i guess some of your "wire" inside your brain has been cut off or probably accidentally cut off!I advise u to seek medical treatment from a really established medical doctor u can't even think = MORON!!
January 9th, 2009 at 12:14 ambolton pls use your head to think not by your knees...
