"It's been conclusively proven Iran is not going to be talked out of its nuclear program. So to stop them from doing it, we have to massively increase the pressure.

"If we can't get enough other countries to come along with us to do that, then we've got to go with regime change by bolstering opposition groups... that's the circumstance most likely for an Iranian government to decide that it's safer not to pursue nuclear weapons than to continue to do so. And if all else fails, if the choice is between a nuclear-capable Iran and the use of force, then I think we need to look at the use of force," Bolton told the Telegraph.

The risks involved in using force, Bolton said, would be less severe than those of accepting a nuclear Iran. "Imagine what it would be like with a nuclear Iran. Imagine the influence Iran could have over the entire region. It's already pushing its influence in Iraq through the financing of terrorist groups like Hamas and Hizbullah.

"If the choice is them continuing or the use of force, I think you're at a Hitler marching into the Rhineland point. If you don't stop it then, the future is in his hands... just as the future decisions on their nuclear program would be in Iran's hands," he continued.

Have I said how glad I am that this loudmouth airhead is not still at the UN? Note the violation of Godwin's first law, Iran is now to be compared as a threat with Nazi Germany.

1. Oh, cool!! Let's make a list of countries that don't have the bomb yet...

...and attack them ALL!!

Alphabetical order would be best.

Watch out, Andorra!! Here we come!

14. Alberta, Canada is planning a nuclear program

Time to invade

[AndyA]

2. Bolton: Shut the f*ck up and go get a haircut.

No one cares what you think or wants to hear what you speak these days.

You are a has-been. Your few minutes of fame are OVER.

Go to hell, go crawl back in your hole, or whatever, but shut the hell up - no one cares!

[Kikosexy2]

12. I am...

Walrus...koo-koo ka-choo...as always he's kookoo!

[Blue_Roses]

3. this guy is so transparent...

I mean, does he actually think people believe him after all the shit we have going on in Iraq now:banghead:

:argh:

4. Who's Next? (Song by Tom Lehrer)

Egypt's gonna get one too,
Just to use on you know who.
So Israel's getting tense.
Wants one in self defense.
"The Lord's our shepherd," says the psalm,
But just in case, we better get a bomb.
Who's next?

Luxembourg is next to go,
And (who knows?) maybe Monaco.
We'll try to stay serene and calm
When Alabama gets the bomb.
Who's next?

5. I understand there's a position opening up at the World Bank....

he'd be GREAT there!

Do I need this:

:sarcasm:

Sad note:

He's probably packing his bags for the position now.

[Roland99]

6. And Mr. Moustache is relevant anymore *how*??

[alcibiades_mystery]

10. That's a good question

He no longer has a job in the administration, so he's just a private citizen. Why is his opinion required for a newspaper article. They could just as easily - and justifiably - asked you or me what we thought about the matter.

Why is John Bolton still being called by anyone./ He's a former, an ex, a nobody.

[Roland99]

11. For the same reason Bill Kristol and Richard Perle still get airtime

Our lovely liberal media!!!!

[LionInWinter]

15. I believe he's working for Rudy now.

So that does give him some input, at least on the Republican side of the campaign.

[Roland99]

16. wow.

:eyes:


"Heckuva job, Rudy!"

[whistle]

7. Neocons like John Bolton just can't wait for the opportunity and excuse

...to drop nuclear bombs on Iran, all of them Pearl, Cheney, Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld, etc. are waiting for that orgasmic release

[NoSheep]

8. NoSheep: Attack Bolton before we bomb Iran

[sinkingfeeling]

9. You know, I just don't give a damn what Bolton wants. He's a nobody just like me.

My opinion is just as important as Bolton's, but I can't get any publicity, air time, nor columns.

[kenny blankenship]

13. Could that thing on his upper lip be a brain slug from outerspace?

Making him say crazy things and pushing our species towards self-destruction --thus clearing the way for an outerspace brain slug takeover of planet Earth? Sometimes I wonder if that's not the most plausible explanation for the crap that comes out of his mouth.

[Kolesar]

17. already pushing its influence in Iraq through the financing of terrorist groups like Hamas &Hizbulla

I thought those two were in Palestine and Lebanon.

[maddezmom]

18. I didn't understand that either

sounds like a neocon pandering to me :shrug:

[Kolesar]

19. That's that huge mistake that the neocons and their idiot president make

Regional "terrorist" groups are not at all like Al Qaida with their expansive ambitions of turning a series of countries into their vision of an Islamic state. Expanding his war to Iran and Iraq was a strategic blunder. (I am sure you know that).

[daleo]

20. Bolton ought to be in prison

These guys shouldn't be given a forum, even the Telegraph.

[HughBeaumont]

21. It's Granthony's Dad!

[heliarc]

22. "Imagine"

It wouldn't be any different than if Israel got the bomb... oh... wait... damn ...
