Bolton compares Iran threat to Sept 11 attacks
Here we go.....sept,11..sept,11..sept,11.....

"Mar 15, 2006 — By Evelyn Leopold and Irwin Arieff

UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - The U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, John Bolton, on Wednesday compared the threat from Iran's nuclear programs to the September 11 terror attacks on the United States.

"Just like September 11, only with nuclear weapons this time, that's the threat. I think that is the threat," Bolton told ABC News' Nightline program.

"I think it's just facing reality. It's not a happy reality, but it's reality and if you don't deal with it, it will become even more unpleasant."

Bolton ratcheted up the rhetoric as the five veto-holding members of the U.N. Security Council failed again to reach agreement on how to curb Iran's nuclear ambitions after a fifth round of negotiations. "

Nothing new here. You could go to sleep for a few years, wake up, and things would be exactly the same. Different Day, Same Garbage.

4. Any country that sets off a nuke in this country would be wipped off ...
the planet in short order. Even the Iranians understand this.

6. Why doesn't any reporter say to these horse leavings,
"You have been abjectly wrong on every issue thus far. Whyinhell should we listen to you now?"
That's what's so frustrating about snotty's briefings, he's lied and lied, and lied, wrong, incompetent, criminally so. Why does anyone bother and why not say so?
Guess I know why I'm not employed by the warm stream media.

9. That does it!
Those Iranians have gone too far if they have upset a stable fellow like Mr. Bolton.

AP) Camp Shelby, Miss. Thousands of relatives and friends joined congressional delegates and other officials at a Mississippi military base on Wednesday to spend time with nearly 4,100 soldiers from across the country who are deploying to Iraq.

The deployment of the 2,600 Minnesota soldiers in the 1/34th Brigade Combat Team will be the largest contingent of that state's National Guard troops to see combat since World War II.

The rest of the brigade includes soldiers from Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Nebraska, New Jersey and others from across the country.

14. Another poster said it well. Iran knows that using nukes would
assure its destruction.

They would not even use them against Israel, knowing full well that the US would view that as if it were an attack on itself.
