Bolton can't wait for Iran to suffer 'painful consequences'.
Edited on Sun Mar-05-06 03:33 PM by bigtree

John Bolton, leading foreign policy advisor and diplomat of the U.S. regime which doles out nuclear favors and permissions according to how low countries bow to them, while punishing those who dare to criticize them, accuses Iran of doublespeak . . .


US Bolton: World Cannot Wait To Confront Iran `Threat'

"The longer we wait to confront the threat Iran poses," Bolton said, "the harder and more intractable it will become to solve."

Iran "must be made aware that if it continues down the path of international isolation, there will be tangible and painful consequences," Bolton said.

Bolton said Iran has been engaging in "doublespeak" during these negotiations. He said that with one voice they say they welcome discussion, but with the other they "are flatly refusing" to give up access to technology and material that would let them have the capability to develop nuclear weapons.

9. Bolton couldn't even get 51 votes in the Senate to be confirmed
His opinion is as hollow as they get. The world knows he couldn't even get confirmed. He has zero credibility. He's an idiot with a microphone in front of him.
