U.S. didn't want ceasefire in Lebanon, says Bolton
http://feeds.bignewsnetwork.com/?sid=320367

The United States wanted the Lebanon War to go on, and opposed a ceasefire, former U.S. Ambassador to the UN John Bolton said Sunday.

Bolton, who was in Israel for a conference, told Haaretz newspaper, until an Israeli air raid on Kana, the U.S. did not want a ceasefire, and wanted to "exploit" the situation.

What changed he said was Kana. Israeli warplanes in an air strike killed 28 civilians in Kana on July 30 2006. At that point U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice 'changed her mind fundamentally,' the former ambassador said.

'Iran is still on the path to obtaining nuclear capability. It's clear that now, President George Bush can't do anything on this matter before the end of his term in another year. Israel must now weigh its own options, especially following the arrival of nuclear fuel rods from Russia for the Bushehr reactor.

Well it appears to me that Bush is not going to attack Iran
Iran will have to attack us
or
Israel will have to do it
Bush time is running out
