John Bolton Wants Israel To Bomb Iran “In The Next 8 Days”

August 18, 2010 · Mustapha Hamoui

Hawk extraordinaire John Bolton on Israel’s next course of action:

if Israel’s going to do anything against Bushehr it has to move in the next eight days. If they don’t, then as I say something Saddam Hussein wanted but couldn’t get, a functioning nuclear reactor — because the Israelis bombed it in 1981 — something that Bashar al-Assad in Syria wanted, a functioning nuclear reactor — until the Israelis bombed it — couldn’t get, the Iranians, sworn enemies of Israel, will have.

Typical Lebanese response: “Thanks for ruining our tourist season jackass!”
