John Bolton Hopes Americans Will Choose Another President with a Neocon Foreign Policy

John Bolton says that American voters should have foreign policy at the top of their list of demands for their choice of president. He wishes for another administration that will stray further away from our national interests, and seems to really think that neocons still have any legitimate support base in this country. He certainly doesn't want to realize that a majority of Americans want a total 180 in our foreign policy, and with his pushing that priority down our throats will only have the opposite effect on what he wishes would happen. He is right that next year's election will have a large bearing on our foreign policy, but if the actual majority of citizens vote with any sort of sense, it won't be what he has in mind.

Bolton said the next president will have to cope with countries seeking to acquire weapons of mass destruction, countries that already have nuclear weapons and long-term policy challenges from the rise of China and India and the resurgence of Russia with oil at $90 a barrel.

"The way the American president deals with China I think will have a major impact on how China sees itself and continues to evolve," Bolton said.

He said that in continuing the war against terrorists and dealing with the threats of proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, the U.S. currently faces many challenges.

"These are acute threats to the United States and our friends and allies around the world," Bolton said.

Talking about the debate over President Bush's policy in Iraq, he said, "we lose sight that the president's decision to overthrow Saddam Hussein has brought the United States to an enormous strategic victory."

He said that the invasion of Iraq brought an end to the dictatorship.

"This regime was a threat to the United States," said Bolton, who added that the U.S. surge policy in Iraq is working and the level of violence is down.

Talking about Iran's alleged pursuit of nuclear weapons, he said that unless the U.S. is prepared to accept an Iran with such capabilities, the time for diplomacy is over. He said one option is a regime change in Iran and the other is a last resort of targeted use of military force against Iran's nuclear program.

Warmonger Bolton Again Calls for Bombing of Iran

John Bolton, think-tank purveyor of Zionist lies and propaganda, is at it again. The former U.S. ambassador to the UN said Sunday that he sees no other option than to attack Iran. Why this guy is still allowed to spew his filth on the world is beyond me. Not only that, the man still has his supporters. It's time to bomb HIM, and people like him.

"I don't think the use of military force is an attractive option, but I would tell you I don't know what the alternative is."

Of course he doesn't. Rational thought left this man's skull long ago.

The fact that intelligence about Iran's nuclear activity was partial should not be used as an excuse not to act, Mr Bolton insisted. "Intelligence can be wrong in more than one direction." He asked how the British government would respond if terrorists exploded a nuclear device at home. "'It's only Manchester?' ... Responding after they're used is unacceptable."

Using his own logic there, the Middle East has every reason to hate Israel. This guy is not working for the American people. He's working for Israel and its American lobbyists. Iran's capabilities right now is equal to that of a nuclear power plant. He's trying to further justify going to war just on assumptions and lies, not that we haven't seen this before from the man.

However, he praised the French president, Nicolas Sarkozy, and his forthright criticism of Iran in recent weeks.

Raising the spectre of George Bush's "axis of evil", Mr Bolton said that Kim Jong-il's regime in North Korea was akin to a "prison camp" and that he would "sell anything to anyone".

Those who thought North Korea would give up its nuclear capability voluntarily were wrong, he said.

Of course he's going to praise France's new nonconservative dictator. This isn't the same France that led the coalition against the U.S. invasion of Iraq. He knows that. Predictably, he also had to spread some of the propagandist lies that North Korea is helping Syria go nuclear, which is a laughable impossibility. You can read the whole article here.
