Why the Admin wants Bolton at the UN by June

The Bush-Bolton Plan to Bomb Bushehr
by Jude Wanniski

Memo to: Republican senators

Buried down in Saturday's New York Times report on President Bush reaffirming his unqualified support for John Bolton as UN ambassador is the reason why almost all of you are ready to vote for his confirmation.

"Republicans are hoping to shame Democrats into a quick vote on Mr. Bolton. They argue that he needs to be in place by June so that the United States will have the latitude it needs to press its concerns about Iran's suspected nuclear weapons program before the Security Council."

Why the big rush? My reliable sources tell me it is because there is a timetable that makes it urgent for Bolton to be ready for action in June in order to cripple the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT) as part of the plan to bomb the Iranian nuclear power plant at Bushehr. That's because Bushehr, under construction with Russian supervision, will soon be ready to receive the Russian fissionable material enabling it to produce power.

that's just great

will promptly veto.

And again the US will defy world opinion by doing it anyway.

I firmly believe that Israel will do Bush's dirty work for him.

We will give "reluctant support"
