John Bolton On Israeli Strike On Iran

I saw this opinion piece by John R. Bolton discussed on the Atlas Shrugs site.  The piece is entitled "Time for an Israeli Strike?".

John Bolton was our Ambassador at the U.N. for a while.  I think he was the best Ambassador we ever had there in my memory.  He has been dead on about events in the Middle East.

"With Iran's hard-line mullahs and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps unmistakably back in control, Israel's decision of whether to use military force against Tehran's nuclear weapons program is more urgent than ever."

"Accordingly, with no other timely option, the already compelling logic for an Israeli strike is nearly inexorable. Israel is undoubtedly ratcheting forward its decision-making process. President Obama is almost certainly not."

Obama seems to think we can still talk to Iran, even after the fraudulent election and the ongoing rioting by the people.  Obama has even said we may just have to live with a nuclear Iran.

Israel doesn't seem to like the idea of a regime that has sworn to eliminate Israel from the face of the earth having nuclear weapons.

"Those who oppose Iran acquiring nuclear weapons are left in the near term with only the option of targeted military force against its weapons facilities."

Israel will have to take care of themselves.  Obama has no interest in Israel. 

Keep yours eyes open on this one.  An Israeli strike will result in muslim retaliation.  Their biggest weapon against us is oil.  I am sure they will use it.

But it's okay if Iran affects the flow of oil to the US. With Obama's new energy policy we won't be as dependent on oil. I'm buying one of those new windmill powered cars. Haven't heard of them? They'll be out in a few years, they won't go far but that's okay because none of us will need to travel since jobs will be nonexistent.
