Bolton: Israeli Attack Best Option on Iran
Reported: 21:31 PM - Jul/29/09

(IsraelNN.com) The U.S. administration is trying to prevent what is likely the only way to prevent a nuclear-armed Iran -- an Israeli attack on Iranian nuclear facilities, said former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton. In an opinion piece in Wednesday's Wall Street Journal, Bolton said that Defense Secretary Robert Gates diplomatic efforts to convince Israelis to forego a military strike in favor of President Barack Obama's diplomacy are “doomed to fail.”

"Obama has no new strategic thinking on Iran. He vaguely promises to offer the country the carrot of diplomacy — followed by an empty threat of sanctions down the road if Iran does not comply with the U.S.'s requests," writes Bolton. But "there's no reason Iran would suddenly now bow to Mr. Obama's diplomatic efforts, especially after its embarrassing election in June."

I agree with Bolton. He's about the only one with their head screwed on right in Washington. Bolton just flat out tells things like they are. obama the community organizer from Chicago is a joke.

I agree. If obama had any sense at all, he would have Bolton as his right-hand man, and following his instructions. It'll never happen, though.
