Bolton: Israel Will Strike Iran if Obama is Elected

[pnorman]

Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton believes Israel will stage a raid against Iran's nuclear facilities if Democratic nominee Barack Obama wins the upcoming presidential election in November.

Bolton, often labeled a resolute neo-conservative, believes the Israeli attack would take place sometime between the day after Obama's win and his inauguration on January 20 of next year.

In an interview with FOX News, Bolton says, "I think if they are to do anything, the most likely period is after our elections and before the inauguration of the next President."

Bolton reasons Israel won’t be able to hold off a strike on Iran any longer than that given the Illinois senator's intended foreign policy toward the Islamic Republic.

Remember when the Darth one said if you elect Dems, you'll die?

[sendero]

2. Israel can do whatever they want..

[nadinbrzezinski]

3. So the client state will do our bidding, or the neocon's bidding?

not shocked or surprised

That is what client states do

[mcctatas]

4. And?

Cenk talked about this on TYT yesterday, I think the conversation in the following clip is pretty accurate...

5. If Israel attacks another country unprovoked, what's stopping us from kicking THEIR ass?

Wasn't that Poppy's reason for invading Iraq the first time?

[nadinbrzezinski]

7. They are doing our bidding

[Middle finga]

6. Let Israel go fight who they want to fight, Iran, Syria, N. Korea

fight them all just don't come running to us for assistance. The only thing that will stop a bully is a good ass whupping.

[two gun sid]

8. Bolton is fear-mongering

[Swamp Rat]

9. Bolton is batshit insane.

[madrchsod]

10. it`s bolton and newsmax........

[Behind the Aegis]

11. Fear-mongering schmuck.

Of course, some will lap this up, from both extremes.

[gateley]

12. gateley: Israel will strike Iran even if Obama isn't elected. nt

[KamaAina]

13. Is that a threat or a promise?

:grr: :banghead:

[Imalittleteapot]

14. Oh fine. He's setting up Bush's wet dream.

Israel will surely need W's help.

[IDemo]

15. Is he trying to convince the 18 Percenters to vote for Obama?

Bolton and company have been salivating over the prospect of nukularizing Iran.

[Fire Walk With Me]

16. "Believes" or "Set up"??? Nice demonization/swiftboating. Don't vote Democratic, or TERROR!!

Of course, terrorists blew up the Trade Towers during a Republican (stolen) presidency, but no one considers THAT.

[opihimoimoi]

17. But Not one of his prior predictions ever came true...Lesson, never trust a NEO CON

Its all about TRUST...

Bush and the GOP has done so much crap, ya can't trust um anymore...especially that Newt Fella who wants us to drill everywhere to find oil...

[Monk06]

18. If Israel attacks Iran between the election and inauguration the are giving

the finger to the next president whether it's Obama
or not.

They can't be that stupid. Maybe Bubba NutandYahoo is but not
Olmert

[LaPera]

19. It doesn't make Israel right attacking a sovereign nation, let them face the world's wrath

alone, if they do.

Israel, it seems wants to force & suck us in by employing a first strike against Iran....It'll be Israel producing terrorism plain & simple, creating unimaginable world war & unrest - Not to mention that Israel (and BushCo) are also trying to influence our elections through fear.

John Bolton is an absolute fear-mongering, warmongering, fascist imperialist nut-job!

[slampoet]

20. Any foreign nation that tries to influence our elections is commiting terrorism.

[LeftishBrit]

28. Neither Israel or Iran is going to deliberately influence America's elections...

it's Bolton who's trying to.

If he stirs up war in the process, he IS committing terrorism; but I suspect that he's just indulging in demented rants.

[Subdivisions]

21. That's twice this week he's popped-off with his bullshit. He's attempting

to establish a time-frame of an attack between the election and the inaugural. If an attack does indeed take place, look for it BEFORE the election.

[jwirr]

22. I think that Israel is smart enough to know that they will have to work

with Obama after November 6 and that kissing the *ss is not going to make that easy. I am sure that *ss has been trying to get them to do this but they should use their heads - he has failed at everything he has done. Do they really want to hook their future to a falling star?

[pinto]

23. LOL, their headline and spin is pure "Newsmax"

:eyes:

[warren pease]

24. Yup... John McPain, the peace candidate... vote GOP or the terrorists win...

More like vote GOP AND the terrorists win, since these days the real ones -- the Al Bushda in DC -- are using the white house as their base of operations.

Bolton needs to be restrained for his own good. It would take at least a hundred institutionalized basic, normal loons to match the sheer madness of one Bolton. Even his namesake isn't that insane, although he's trying hard to catch up.

25. John Bolton answers the question "What if Hitler and Captain Kangaroo had a baby"

[Forkboy]

26. Did he say it while jerking off?

[LeftishBrit]

27. Bolton is a raving lunatic...

Obama is not a candidate for president of either Israel or Iran! If there is war there, it will be for quite other reasons.

Does Bolton seriously think that Israel would send its soldiers (which in Israel means everyone of military age) to war, and risk alienating its only powerful ally, JUST because said ally has elected someone whom BOLTON doesn't like? If he thinks so, then he is seriously and dangerously megalomaniac. But then, we knew he was anyway.

And why should anyone be taking Bolton seriously anyway? He couldn't even get confirmed by a Republican congress; but somehow can't accept that he's fired. If he weren't so dangerous, he'd be truly pathetic.
