| Bolton: Bush 'doesn't see sanctions can't stop Iran now' |
| 2007-06-27 |
| Sanctions and diplomacy have failed and it may be too late for internal opposition to oust the Islamist regime, leaving only military intervention to stop Iran's drive to nuclear weapons, the US's former ambassador to the UN, John Bolton, told The Jerusalem Post on Tuesday. Worse still, according to Ambassador Bolton, the Bush administration does not recognize the urgency of the hour and that the options are now limited to only the possibility of regime change from within or a last-resort military intervention, and it is still clinging to the dangerous and misguided belief that sanctions can be effective. As a consequence, Bolton said he was "very worried" about the well-being of Israel. If he were in Israel's predicament, he said, "I'd be pushing the US very hard. I am pushing the US [administration] very hard, from the outside, in Washington." Bolton, interviewed by telephone from Washington, was speaking a day after the International Atomic Energy Agency announced it would send a team to Teheran, at Iran's request, to work jointly on a plan ostensibly meant to clear up suspicions about the nuclear program. Iran's chief nuclear negotiator Ali Larijani had met on Sunday with IAEA head Mohamed ElBaradei, and a day earlier with top EU foreign policy envoy Javier Solana. |

| #7 I wondered the same thing Natural Law. I liked Bush on Iraq and still do overall. I liked him on school vouchers and the early tax cuts. However, I'm severely disappointed w/him on the border to say the least - what a dork. His prescription drug thing back 03' was also a kowtow to the sr citizen lobbies. I also choked everytime I heard how much $$$ he wanted to send the africans for their aids problems. Total Rino, as a lot of his peers in the senate have also turned out to be no better if not worse. |

| #5 ...he can't seem to think about anything other than how to legalize all the mex's. That was one of his goals all along. A friend told me in 2002 that Bush would kill this country and the G.O.P. in the last two years of his Administration. I told him he was CRAZY! He said to just wait and see. If this makes it all the way to Bush's desk, be ready to fight for your lives. There is already word that there will be a rush on the border. We're looking at a tsunami of invaders waiting to get their piece of American Pie. It will be nasty. God bless America. P.S. I wonder if .com still loves George now. |

| #4 He's totally lost it since the last election. With all the white hot topics our nation is facing, he can't seem to think about anything other than how to legalize all the mex's. |

| #2 Right now GB only seems to care about illegal aliens. And he seems to "care about" them a little too deeply. |
