Bolton is the unacceptable face of evil. He should be put on trial for terror related offences.

I think he's terrible also.

He's also one of the original author's of the Project for the New American Century (PNAC) mission statement.

Can google it any time.

Still the one-trick pony Boony ?

You really must be running out of "normal" forums to post this trash on.

"we'll drop the 'big one'".

Does that mean the Birchers have nuclear weapons ?

so if it's acceptable to drop the big one, why is it not acceptable to have terrorists drop the big one ? I guess that justify 911 in Boon Mee mind, I knew he was a terrorist supporter deep inside him

In terms of "big one" I ain't talking about a nuclear device here boys...
More like a MOAB - OK?

There won't be any big ones. I can imagine you grinning and giggling behind your screen as you write this stuff.

The U.S. is in no position to drop anything, or do anything in Iran, IMO.

Of course I don't have all the fact of what Iran has, but Iran has weapons can possibly be accurate enough to hit the U.S. embassy under construction and/or Israel, or other targets.

The American embassy and its 14 military bases in Iraq can say hello to these....

Disregarding your use of the word "appeasement" for a moment do you have any positive suggestions apart from military action (which neither the US nor Israel is really capable of) ?

More stringet sanctions until the folks there rise up and throw out the mad mullahs. Even France is onboard with a nuclear-free Iran. Sarko's speech yesterday called it "unacceptable"

Yeah starving the Iraqis for over a decade really worked. The day Iran gets nuclear arms will be the day when all the "you are with us or ur against us" "hawks" will suddenly become desperatley interested in "talks" and "multilateralism" and the UN and giving money to Iran and freeing kidnapped Iranians. Just look at the DRNK.

Not sure it's the same thing - Iraq/Iran re sanctions. The Iranian people have not been browbeaten as badly as the Iraqui folks have for decades and if they (Iranians) saw some avenue and support from the west, they might rise up as they have in the past. As far as the hawks seeking talks, you really think Israel will talk when they know they're on the brink of extinction?

Not sure it's the same thing - Iraq/Iran re sanctions. 1) The Iranian people have not been browbeaten as badly as the Iraqui folks have for decades and if they (Iranians) saw some avenue and support from the west, they might rise up as they have in the past.2) As far as the hawks seeking talks, you really think Israel will talk when they know they're on the brink of extinction?
1) By whom? They have been by the United States. If you are referring to the post revolution Iran the system of government has recieved a fair amount of popular support. The youth aree not in uprising; as much as the Mc Cain type nutters like to potray then as the Taliban they are not "mad Mullahs" Iran has a higher % of female univeristy graduates than male. 2) The thing is short of a US/ Israel groud invasion there is little chance of anyone being able to stop Iran gaining nuclear weapons (dispersed undergruond facilties etc etc) ( if that is their intended aim).

Also that is the entire point of nuclear weapons. If both sides have them they are never used. If Iran fired two or three nuclear weapons it would recieve 3/400 in return. MAD applies in each and every case. Iran is a rational actor and as such its first aim is to ensure survival.

Boons look at it form their point of view: it's sworn enemy has invaded two countries contiguous to it and have nuclear capable destroyers prowling her waters and the Israeli Jews talk openly about their right to attack the country at anytime it they see fit.

The US is the belicose rouge. The US is the evil empire.

Until such time as the US achieves a positive timetable to get Israel to withdraw from Occupied Palestine, not only will it not have a shred of credibility in the Middle East, but your so called friends will remain behind the scenes your enemies.

It is quite a good thing for Iran to get nuclear power, and frankly not a bad thing for it to be nuclear armed as far as I can make out. At least it will reign in Israels aggression, seeing as the West refuses to do so.

Sure it'll be good for Iran to have nuclear weapons to sell to other terrorists?
