Bolton speaks! Looks like we are invading Syria and Iran...

US's Bolton warns Iran, Syria over Iraqi border

UNITED NATIONS, Aug 4 (Reuters) - U.S. Ambassador John Bolton, in his debut in the U.N. Security Council, pressed Syria and Iran on Thursday to do more to stem the flow of terrorists, arms and funding into neighboring Iraq.

His comments came as the 15-nation council unanimously adopted a U.S.-drafted resolution condemning a recent surge in violence in Iraq that has killed hundreds, including Algerian diplomats, U.S. Marines and a Sunni Arab helping to draft a new Iraqi constitution.

Russia used the vote to criticize the media for glorifying terrorists after Moscow said it would bar ABC News from working in Russia when the U.S. television network aired an interview with Chechen rebel leader Shamil Basayev.

Bolton urged all nations "to meet their obligations to stop the flow of terrorist financing and weapons, and particularly on Iran and Syria."

1. I read an article earlier that compared Bolton
to a 800 pound Gorilla. Obviously, they were right on the money.

2. He can't really run the UN can he?
I mean, other member nations can pretty much tell him to kiss their collective hind quarters, no?

8. That's a slander on gorillas
Gorillas are peaceable and mind their own gorilla business. Bolton has neither of these qualities. And gorillas are definitely smarter and better looking than Bolton.

9. Bolton is not reality-based.
BushCo fantasizes a Caspian Empire. To achieve this, it must massacre 30-50 million people which is not considered a problem. What the idiots don't realize is that if WE create the liebensraum, China most likely, in an alliance with Russia and possibly India, will march in as liberators and take all that nice oil away from us. And get good press for it.

We'll be too weak and broke to lift a finger.

BushCo has to stop thinking that life is a John Wayne movie.
