Neocon Bolton: If Mubarak falls in Egypt, Israel should bomb Iran
http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2011/02/bolton-israel-bomb-iran-mubarak-falls/

snip

"Do you think that the Israelis are going to have to strike — they are going to have to take action?" Fox News Republican opinion host Sean Hannity asked the former ambassador on his radio program Monday.

"As you pointed out, ElBaradei ran cover for the Iranians for all those years that he was with the IAEA. And, I just don’t think the Israelis have much longer to wait… they're going to have to act in fairly short order."

2. Say what?
That is the dumbest statement I've seen. You would think Bolton has an agenda or something.

3. What a total asshat. His ilk should not even be quoted by the media...ANYWHERE
There are constant criticisms, and little quoting of the "fringe" left...but the really-out-there, fringe, right gets all the air time they want.

'Following in the footsteps of other likely GOP presidential candidates, Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour is headed to Israel next week.
Like Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee before him, Barbour will meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and will tour various energy-related sites in the country, according to the Republican Jewish Coalition, which is hosting the trip. At the end of the four-day visit, Barbour will address the Herzliya Conference, a gathering that focuses on Israel's global policy.'

6. There are a few personalities who grace our lives
who begin to resemble actual cartoon characters over time. This fellow is one of them. The image I have is the one Jon Stewart painted of a maniacal dog-catcher.

That's the easy answer. He's no patriot, that's certain.
Can you imagine he was our Ambassador to the U.N. in the Dark Ages?!

22. Yosemite Sam wore a uniform (various, including Confederate)...
Edited on Tue Feb-01-11 03:20 PM by JHB
...and got shot at, detonated, stomped, malleted, and high-dropped numerous times each.

Bolton, however, is as chickeny a hawk as they come.

From Wikipedia:
Bolton supported the Vietnam War and enlisted in the Maryland Army National Guard, but did not serve in Vietnam. He wrote in his Yale 25th reunion book "I confess I had no desire to die in a Southeast Asian rice paddy. I considered the war in Vietnam already lost." In an interview, Bolton discussed his comment in the reunion book, explaining that he decided to avoid service in Vietnam because "by the time I was about to graduate in 1970, it was clear to me that opponents of the Vietnam War had made it certain we could not prevail, and that I had no great interest in going there to have Teddy Kennedy give it back to the people I might die to take it away from."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_R._Bolton

Of course, he graduated from high school in 1966, back when righties like him still considered it winnable. Notice how he chose Yale over protecting the world from the commies.

21. Neocons are reliable johnny one-notes
Everything is an excuse for war. If you think removing Iran as their favorite boogeyman would stop them from being pro war, I've got news for you. War is all Bolton and the rest of them are about. If it weren't Iran, they would throw a dart at a world map and pick a "villian." They need one.

30. He's been pushing for that forever. Bolton would say if candidate X loses American Idol,
Israel should bomb Iran. If his broccoli has cheese on it tonight, Israel should bomb Iran. It's like tax cuts-- they're *always* the solution if you listen to some people. Got a surplus? Tax cuts for the wealthy. Got a deficit? Tax cuts for the wealthy.

Literally drop the neocons from the plane.
