John Bolton Says "Pre-Emptive Use of Military Force" the Only Way to Stop Iran - Video 2/13/10

Here is video of former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton on Fox and Friends today, where he said the case for striking Iran is growing.

Bolton said Iran's radical Islamic regime sent signals this week that they are still firmly in control, as they kept protests to a minimum on the day Ahmadinejad announced they had successfully enriched uranium. He made the announcement on the 31st anniversary of the "Islamic Revolution" in Iran.

Bolton said he believes the "pre-emptive use of military force" is the only way to prevent Iran from obtaining Nuclear Weapons. Since Bolton believes there is "zero likelihood" Obama will use force, that effectively means Iran will become a nation with Nuclear Weapons unless Israel acts militarily in their own self-defense to stop them.

Bolton said he does not believe sanctions - which Obama is now talking about - will be effective. . . . (VIDEO)

And of course, when things go worse on the Iranian front, Obama will whine that noone offered him any alternate advice.

And so, here we are now because we failed to listen to the American Patriots of yesteryear. We no longer have among us the MacArthurs, George Pattons, Curt LeMays, Evans Carlsons, Chesty Puller (we had only the one), etc.

Marxism, the indoctrination of the school system, Hollyweird, the msm (includes fauxnoose), etc., etc. have precluded through political correctness that such men could yet exist.

The generals and admirals, statesmen, etc. are absent today having been weeded out early on in their careers.

We deserve what we get.

“John Bolton Says “Pre-Emptive Use of Military Force” the Only Way to Stop Iran”

I agree. Israel should do that immediately.

Is John Bolton the only one who gets it?

He’s a voice in the wilderness unfortunately. Iran is going to go into full intimidation mode to its neighbors, and they produce oil.

I have to believe we already know Iram has Saddams WMD’s in Syria, and probably has a nuke or two..Are we really preparing for this or sticking our heads in the sand? Israel would have already attacked, whats the point of waiting until the last minute? Its going to be bad folks...
No boots on the ground needed..can we say Nuclear war?
Come Lord!!

Bolton ought to run for Senate in NY; an anti-UN platform might resonate with the otherwise liberal electorate. Would be a great opportunity.

Actually if the CIA and NSA were restructured to something approaching useful, Iran could fall without a shot.

Cell phones, internet and a smidge of support here and there and eventually a couple of million people knocking on the door.
