John Bolton, the former US ambassador to the United Nations, told Tory delegates today that efforts by the UK and the EU to negotiate with Iran had failed and that he saw no alternative to a pre-emptive strike on suspected nuclear facilities in the country.

Let me get this straight, the guy who helped Bush screw up on North Korea and wouldn't recognize effective diplomacy if it tugged at his mustache is advocating bombing Iran?

1. That's the legacy of the Bush* Administration...bomb everything that is

suspected. Don't let facts get in the way.

3. Short but to the point.

2. I'm sure he was advocating bombing Iran long before he became ambassador.

This is what Bolton does. This is why he was picked to be ambassador to begin with.

4. He sees no alternative, huh? That shows a depressing lack of

imagination/diplomatic ability.

5. Got bombs? Yep. Got brains? Nope. That's Bolton to a "T"

7. See what happens when you don't pound a wooden stake thru their hearts AND behead them!

They just keep popping back up, hungry for more blood.

8. Who the fuck is he to tell us to start another war?

He is one of the fuckwits that got us into the Iraq mess.

[and-justice-for-all]

9. 'former US ambassador to the United Nations'

11. Yosemite Sam on another rampage... n/t

[liberalhistorian]

15. Bingo! That is

exactly what he is. Can't you just picture him jumping up and down, yelling "D-ooooooooohhh, I hate them Ar-rabs! D-ooooooooohhhh, I hate that I-ran!!"

[Klukie]

12. He said that he is not a neoconservative.....

but rather a Barry Goldwater conservative. He then says...

However, the threat to world peace did not come from neoconservatives but from the perception that "we have passed beyond history", he said

What does this mean? (we have passed beyond history)

[liberalhistorian]

14. And Goldwater would have kicked his ass

from here to the end of the world and back, too; no way would he have claimed Joltin' Bolten! The hell he ISN'T a neocon.

13. Freeper reaction to Bolton's statement

-----

Bolton for President!

-----

If I ever have kids, Bolton will be the GODFATHER!!!!!

-----

I’d love to see John Bolton be the GOP VEEP candidate. I’d work my butt off for that ticket.

-----

Yabba Dabba Doo should be greased asap. Bolton would smoke him in a heart beat.

-----

Trickle down annihilation WORKS!

16. He's a d*ck - Jon Stewart was driven nuts by

Bolton when he came on The Daily SHow.

They had a dispute about Abraham Lincoln - and Bolton told Jon how wrong he was.

The next night, Stewart calls up Doris Goodman,who wrote one of the definite Lincoln biographies, and she said Bolton was WRONG, WRONG, WRONG.

Doubt that man ever gets anything right, other than having friends in high places.

17. And he was nominated for Nobel Peace Prize last year!?

Bolton and Kenneth R. Timmerman were formally nominated by Sweden's former deputy prime minister Per Ahlmark, for playing a major role in exposing Iran's secret plans to develop nuclear weapons.

Edited to add, though, the news in the OP doesn't surprise me in the least.

[Canuckistanian]

18. A guy like him ALWAYS advocates bombing

Only the target changes.
