Israel has '8 days' to hit Iran nuclear site: Bolton
(AFP) – 1 hour ago

WASHINGTON — Israel has "eight days" to launch a military strike against Iran's Bushehr nuclear facility and stop Tehran from acquiring a functioning atomic plant, a former US envoy to the UN has said.

Iran is to bring online its first nuclear power reactor, built with Russia's help, next week, when a shipment of nuclear fuel will be loaded into the plant's core.

At that point, former John Bolton warned Monday, it will be too late for Israel to launch a military strike against the facility because any attack would spread radiation and affect Iranian civilians.

"Once that uranium, once those fuel rods are very close to the reactor, certainly once they're in the reactor, attacking it means a release of radiation, no question about it," Bolton told Fox Business Network.

1. bolton is insane. Dangerous. Deluded.
Between him, Wolfie, and Cheney, those are three people whose graves I would most enjoy fertilizing. Personally.

5. Deranged, if International law enforcement could profile criminals this is what they would look for!
Right wing extremist seem to always get a free pass until the bodies pile up and even then they slip away.

10. Surely you're old enough to remember Edward Teller
But the poster above speaks for me: If Israel doesn't launch an unprovoked act of aggression on Iran by the end of next week, will Bolton leave now and never return?

17. The Jerusalem Post is reporting that Bolton is saying "3 days" to strike...
Bolton claimed Israel has only three days to strike before Russia "begins the fueling process for the Bushehr reactor this Friday," after which any attack would cause radioactive fallout that could reach as far as the waters of the Persian Gulf.

20. Yosemite Sam's in a big hurry...
The Military-Industrial Complex must know that they can't keep coming up with excuses to prolong the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan much longer - the American people and the world aren't buying that shit anymore. They desperately want something else to stir up business.
