Bolton warns Iran of "painful consequences"

[Loge23]

Top U.S. official Psycho John Bolton has loaded up the Steath bombers over Iran.
According to MSNBC story, ( http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11684031/) Bolton chose to issue the latest threat on Sunday pandering to a convention of Jewish-Americans.
(Edited to "conform to LBN standards") ??!

1. That hairy pimple on the ass of the universe really thinks he's a big

shot, doesn't he?

[C_U_L8R]

2. Oh great

World War Three is going to get kicked-off
by Captain Fuckin' Kangaroo.

God has a sick sense of humor.

[BadGimp]

14. oh no

please don't take from me my fond memories of a dearly loved childhood hero: Capt Kangaroo

[Spiffarino]

33. You forgot, "Evil"

He is the Evil Captain Kangaroo.

[fujiyama]

35. LOL

Bolton is the bizarro world veersion of Capt. Kangaroo.

Or his evil twin!

3. "tangible and painful consequences" to Iran, says Bolton.

...Iran faces “tangible and painful consequences” if it continues its nuclear activities and the United States will use “all tools at our disposal” to stop this threat...

[daleanime]

4. Dear God,

Isn't Bolton's year up yet?

[FormerOstrich]

5. From the article...

The United States has had sweeping sanctions on Iran since after the 1979 Iranian revolution but is looking at ways to further use its Proliferation Security Initiative to deny Iran materials it needs for its nuclear program, he said.

Bolton reaffirmed that the United States does not see the security council moving quickly to impose sanctions on Iran, but he pointedly noted that “many other governments have begun to include the word sanctions in their discourse on Iran,” implying they may take action outside the security council.

Did our recent deal with India fall within the framework of the Proliferation Security Initiative?

Sounds like another coalition of the coerced. How very Iraq like.

6. Same song, second verse.....

Sound familiar?

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

“The Iran regime must be made aware that if it continues down the path of international isolation, there will be tangible and painful consequences,” he told 4,500 delegates to the annual convention of the American-Israel Public Affairs Committee, the leading pro-Israel U.S. lobbying group.


Keep in mind AIPAC owns our asses in the Admin.

Heard anything about Larry Franklin lately?
Didn't think so.

[TomClash]

37. Unlike Iraq

Iran has everything to do with Israel. Not surprising Bolton made these remarks at an AIPAC convention.

[MessiahRp]

7. Wow.

I didn't know a pissant Ambassador could declare war. Who needs to vote for a President anyway?

Rp

[paparush]

21. None of us do as long as Diebold is around (eom)

9. USS Ronald Reagan is in the Gulf.

Win one for the gipper, eh, Chimpy, you craven bastard.

[wakeme2008]

13. I know this is sick because of the lost of US lives

but somehow if Bush attacked and Iran used their Sunburn anti-ship missiles to take out the USS Ronald Reagan, it would IMHO be Poetic Justice. .

[lebkuchen]

41. Isn't that what Bush wants?

To provoke Iran into attacking a US ship or base in the region, sustaining high losses, so he can regalvanize the public into supporting more war?

I don't know what I believe anymore, it's gotten so crazy.

[sarcasmo]

10. Kick and Nom for yet another sign of certain War with Iran.

[xchrom]

11. k & r.

[leftchick]

12. Rep. Murtha's response this bullshit today...

<snip>

The United Nations is scrutinizing Iran because of its nuclear research but Murtha said Tehran has become emboldened because of the U.S. focus in Iraq.

"We have a situation where our military is in such bad shape, it couldn't deploy to a second front," Murtha said. "And the Iranians know this. North Korea knows it. China knows it. We're depleting our resources in Iraq."

[VegasWolf]

28. Exactly, that is why the Iranians are laughing at Bolton and Chimpanzee.

[depakid]

40. the painful consequences will be America's

Four, maybe five dollar a gallon gas is just what the country needs right now....

Bring it on.

[IndianaGreen]

15. I wonder if AIPAC will take the same tired old bait again...

Considering how dangerous a radical Islamic state in Iraq is to Israel, will the Israel lobby in America be fooled again by neocon snake oil?

An attack on Iran will unleash forces that no one will be able to control. For those of us that want the US out of the Middle East altogether, there is no point in wasting our time warning people about the folly of a second concurrent war in the Persian Gulf. Let the fools self-destruct!

[jpak]

16. So any country with a rogue nucular weapons program

should face "painful" consequences???

I can think of a few "I" countries that pose more of a threat in that dept. than "I"-ran...

[Loge23]

17. deja vu all over again

We can begin to capture all of the cautionary statements for the historical record if nothing else. This is sounding an awful lot like those halycon last days of Saddam's regime in Iraq. Like the vortex of water down the drain, we swirl hopelessly into the abyss of yet another deluge.
I found this thread detailing Helen Thomas' little chat with Ari Fleisher trying to nail down the great lie about Iraq.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x581291
So what is it this time? "Precision bombing"? "Strategic targets"?
Or just a whole lot more of mangled and dead Iranian civilians?

[worldgonekrazy]

18. I doubt that a threat from these jokers inspires much fear

There is no way we go to war with Iran. We're bogged down in Iraq and Iran actually has a real fucking military. It would probably require at least 500,000 soldiers for that war, and we just don't have that available.

But, our threats for diplomatic action must ring pretty hollow as well. Although the EU is just as eager as the U.S. to keep Iran from being a nuclear power, they hardly trust the Bush Administration enough to work with them on diplomatic sanctions.

[bluestateguy]

19. Bolton isn't even the real ambassador

It's not like he was confirmed by the Senate or anything. People should just ignore everything he says.

[0007]

31. Bolton is about the most bogus & hideous thing around.

[Mr.Green93]

20. Why doesn't the U.N. have this fraud arrested

for trespassing?

[daleo]

22. I wonder if he is hinting at the U.S. use of nukes?

“tangible and painful consequences”
“all tools at our disposal”,
"comprehensive solutions"

[jpak]

23. The gasoline for Bolton's gov't car is purchased by taxpayers

who will be paying $5 a gallon for the stuff when this shit hits the fan.

Why should he care about the consequences????

[Joanne98]

24. We must be blocking the sale of hemorrhoid medication

[HuffleClaw]

25. last time it was 'serious consequences', now its 'painful consequences' ?

and just what the hell is the 'Proliferation Security Initiative'?

[lovuian]

26. Preparing for WWIII Get ready Iran we are coming

to get that oil :nuke:

Iran is headed by a crazy power hungry man just like the US is...

[Loge23]

27. Bolton's a "made man" in Bushco

This is no vacant threat from a loose cannon. Bolton is one of the inner circle kooks in the Neo-Con circus.
This was a scripted, time-sensitive, directive.
I am certain that air strike plans are already in place.

[confludemocrat]

29. yeah right, mustache man, we're gonna pull another Iraq on 'em

your Admins's failure to prepare for or handle 9/11 helped you be prepared to prevent a failure to catch OBL at Tora Bora,
which taught you so much on how to handle the aftermath of an illegal invasion of Iraq'
which taught you something about leadership in your prep for Hurricane Katrina and for dealing with it's aftermath,
which taught you the style with which you would handle the palistinian authority elections
and now your gonna bring that track record to dealing with a nation of 80 million who handle much of your China's oil
can't wait.

[VegasWolf]

30. Bolton trying to kill the Iranians by making them laugh themselves to

death?

[Oversea Visitor]

32. Haha

Pain for Iran pain for US
Whee you dumb fool
Which part of having to take losses you dont get.
Oh you never fight in war before.

[bemildred]

34. Dolton continues to embarass himself and our nation. nt

[Octafish]

36. BFEE Maxiturd Bolton wants war as long as somebody else fights it.

From AP/WaPo:

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

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/03/05/AR2006030500698.html

Bolton's a nutjob, like Bush, except he's done better on the Wonderlic.

[LynnTheDem]

38. Dear bolton;

Fuck off, asshole.

[pinniped]

39. This psychotic should be locked up for issuing death threats.

Devil's Island should be reopened for these sickos.

[Julius Civitatus]

42. This is why they appointed him

to get the Iran war moving quickly in the UN.
