Bolton: An Iranian "Moderate" Keeps His Mouth Shut About Nukes Program

[OhMaDayzz]

Bolton isn't very clever.

[alexs2009freedom]

Bolton's comments are totally wrong in the new world we find ourselves in, since the moderate is challenging the entire regime.

Funny he was totally proven wrong just a few days after this interview because not even he understands what is going on, or could predict the demonstrations.

How silly of us to even listen to experts like this.

[bigsoundz]

Bolton's pockets are filled with Israeli money -- he is a traitor.

[sarah38e]

nice pedophile mustache bolton

[Sally9999]

That mustache is a JOKE!

[prim8667]

WHY EXPECT ANYTHING DIFFERENT FROM THIS GUY----he IS A warmonger AND NEOCONSERVATIVE (DON'T BE REDUNDANT)

[tycho556]

lets aim our own nuclear program at these muslims sobs

[greyflcn]

re: tycho556

==lets aim our own nuclear program at these muslims sobs?==

Nuking a country based on religion?

Fundamentalist Christians scare me....

[DaOmid]

He is right they are same sons of bitches.

[ThePissedOffAtheist]

Trotsky was a moderate communist next to Stalin. Remember people there is no such thing as moderate insanity, there is only insanity.

[zbjordan23]

wtf are you talking about?...your comparing ahmadinejad to stalin...lol...Iran has never attacked another country in it's history

[ThePissedOffAtheist]

Get a dictionary, look up analogy. Idiot.

[zbjordan23]

ah...its not an analogy when the two things being compared are not comparable douchebag.

[ThePissedOffAtheist]

OK then, well why not live under Ahmadinejad's rule for a year if he's such a saint, douchebag.

[OlivierdeAthos]

So, does this mean it would have made no difference if Trotsky or Stalin were running the Soviet Union, and if (hypothetically) given the opportunity to influence whether Trotsky or Stalin gained control of the Soviet Union, the United States (or any other country) wouldn't/shouldn't have bothered?

[ThePissedOffAtheist]

[Question mark]. I was merely saying that a moderate madman is still a madman. Try not to be so literal minded, it was merely an analogy.

[OlivierdeAthos]

I understand that, but it was also the analogy Bolton used. He used it as a rhetorical question to answer when the interviewer asked him if it mattered who won the election. My answer would be "yes." Bolton's (through the analogy) was "no."

Even though he said it doesn't matter who wins, a dollar says he and the other neo-cons are now going to make a huge FUSS about Ahmadinejad stealing the election from the nice 'moderate.'

[ThePissedOffAtheist]

You may be wrong there: check out the Reason magazine website; apparently the neocons, especially Bolton, will be heartbroken to see one of their Middle East whckjob scapegoats lose office.

[baronmorris]

BOLTON = DOUCHE

[milkgodnl]

I bet Bolton and the other neo-cons are celebrating the announcement from ??? that Ahmadjinedad had "won" the election.

[Taino187]

Sometimes i wonder if Bolton realizes what a Doofus he looks like with that "Hitler like" moustache of his, Its like he has a permanent "Milk Moustache" where ever he goes... At least color that darn thing when you color your hair Bolton...

Sheesh, its so distracting, Like a train wreck, you just cant look away!

[pwl1980]

HAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHA

HA

[TheRamenAvenger]

We've tried John Bolton's approach to the Middle East for a long time and it's sucked so far. Old man needs to get out of the way.

[artin74]

because of some ugly ppl like Bolton barking on iran ! i think iran should vote for ahmadinejad ! is needed ....

[Francebrasil]

Warmonger.. Disgusting network.. great combo

[CaramelAnt]

This guy's a pretty shitty diplomat.

[spartan2600]

so Fox and Bolton's message is 'ignore the election, bomb Iran anyways.'

[copcorona]

Bolton, he wants another war. He is another sick, cowardly Neocon.

[charlie44444]

Hell no, it doesn't matter who wins....lets bomb the fuck out of them regardless. And they say Obama is making us less safe. What a bunch of nutballs.

[barada01]

I don't know what it is about Bolton...just can't figure him out. When he talks about North Korea he speaks in a very clear pragmatic tone of realism that can be quite convincing. However, when he speaks of Middle Eastern affairs he comes across as simply a lunatic. What gives.

[baronmorris]

he's a dumbass douchebag shit weasel. anytime he seems reasonable, just remember, even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

peace to ALL

Viva Obama!

[oolong2]

Ahmedinijad has always stated that he wishes the "Zionist Regime" to end NOT the country itself

In other words he wants REGIME CHANGE, not to kill jews.

This implication that he wants nukes to use on Israel is nonesense.

Try this.....

Google: "Iran Attacks"

Then Google "Israel Attacks"

See a difference?

CAN SOMEONE SERIOUSLY ANSWER THE QUESTION AS TO WHY THE US DISLIKES IRAN?

[OlivierdeAthos]

1. (At the governmetn level) still smarting over the loss of influence in the region with the overthrow of the Shah.

2. (At the business level) still smarting over the loss of business assets during the revolution.

3. (At the nationalistic level) still smarting over the humiliation of the '79 hostage crisis.

4. (At the Israeli lobby level) still smarting over Iranian support of Hezbollah.

(Four reasons, all fairly petty, relatively speaking.)

[baronmorris]

incisive and insightful. well done. ;-)

Viva Obama!

and let's pls end the apartheid in Palestine

Peace to ALL.

[tubular87]

(cont'd) Given your claim that Israel will "nuke us", you are either insane or you are some kind of Muslim nationalist. Are you an American citizen? Doesn't sound like it.

[UltraSWG]

He never claimed Israel will nuke us. Learn what a strawman argument is.

Now explain to us, exactly, what an American citizen "sounds like".

[tubular87]

Actually dumbass, he did. I'd love to spoonfeed the quote to your stupid ass, but I can't rewrite the quote, since repeating something someone else said appears as flooding to YouTube and won't be cleared for posting.

In any case, you're a moron since you not only failed to read what you were talking about, but that you actually profess to be correcting me on something simple and something you failed to understand yourself.

[UltraSWG]

He didn't claim they would nuke us, you illiterate fucktard.

He said, and I quote, 'all that's left is to nuke us'. That is not the same as saying 'Israel is going to nuke us'.

The first is a tongue in cheek exasperation, something people commonly use in everyday conversation, like 'may as well shoot me!'

The second is a prophecy, like, 'You will be shot'

If you can't understand the difference, then you are a clueless half-wit with very poor reading comprehension.

[tubular87]

He claimed they would nuke us you illiterate, lying piece of shit. His comments are there for anyone to see. 'All that's left to nuke us' is saying that Israel is going to nuke us. If he meant 'may as well nuke us' he would have said it.

You're a complete moron and a lying sack of shit.

[wimscheers]

And this all comes from: Iran has legitimate reasons to pursue an energy policy. The world has legitimate reasons to be concerned about this. Really people, learn to recognize diplomacy. Give them a bunch of windmills & how to use the oil they're almost drowning in properly. Bitchslap Israel for their misbehavior. Deny them any access to any nuclear source of any kind. End of discussion.

[RoseSkye]

.. Tpm is blowing this way out of proportion... we cant say they're wrong or right for now.. so they have the right to assume the worse case scenario.. it'll just blow up in their face if they are wrong.. and it'll give em' a chance to brag if they're right.... wing... they'll brag either way.

[yohohobottleofrum]

iranian presidents have no power over the military or foreign policy, that is the job of their "supreme leader"

[tubular87]

So your logic is basically 'hey look over there!' Your logic is, ignore what Iran is doing because you have concerns about Israel. Well, people are free to make of that logic what they may.

[imnodog]

right, so basically what he's saying is "DON'T TRUST IRANIANS, THEY'RE EVIL". this guy is a tool. no matter who they elect, the far right will never accept it. I thought the bush era was over...

[vdohwatcher]

Is Israel incapable of wiping Iran with their nukes?

Is Israels nukes not a threat to global and regional security of Middle East?

Is Israel on our "Axis of Evil" list because of their nuclear weapon capability?

[vdohwatcher]

i think we need to nuke Bolton's mustache....

[tubular87]

On substance, Bolton is right. However, he did lie to make his point. Iran does not say that it's pursuing nukes (as he implies). They say they are pursuing a peaceful nuclear program (which is probably a lie as well).

[OlivierdeAthos]

For the last time, walrus-face, he did not say he "plans to wipe Israel off the map." His exact quote translates as: "The Imam said that this regime occupying Jerusalem (een rezhim-e eshghalgar-e qods) must vanish from the page of time (bayad az safheh-ye ruzgar mahv shavad)."

And, as you can see he was even quoting somebody else (Kohmaini) when he said it.

How long will the mainstream media allow this false quote to continue being spread without fact checking it?

[toribaltimore]

I don't trust men who went out of their way to avoid service in Vietnam, but are so willing to have other people's kids fight and die in foreign lands.

I really wish Republicans would actually learn the definition of the word "conservative," because conservation of human life is not a virtue.

I know... wishful thinking on my part; especially, when half of the GOP believes that Jesus spoke English with a southern drawl... (the other half KNOWS he spoke Aramaic with a southern drawl).

[tubular87]

With regards to the Jesus comments, what a bigoted and ignorant comment. Are you just throwing out partisan garbage or are you actually dumb enough to believe this stuff?

Dumb people like you don't make policy, thankfully. You just stay in the bleacher seats where you belong. :D

[toribaltimore]

Partisan?

You do realize what a "joke" is, right? If not, unzip your pants and look at yourself in full-length mirror.

All "douche baggery" aside; you know you're not supposed to actually "DRINK" the bong water, right?

[tubular87]

Yeah, are you so stupid that you don't know what partisan means now? No surprises there.

Interesting how you talk about me unzipping my pants. Seems that the only thing you know how to do is suck cock. At least you learned something from your mom.

[toribaltimore]

Now you know how to read minds... Fascinating. I love how you wannabe conservatives love making up FACTS.

Partisan? Hey nut job, you're not a politician, nor am I, so there is no PARTISANSHIP, asshole. Fucking fruitcake!

It's easy being an OxyCon Republican, isn't it? After all, the hardest things about being a Republican are:

1. Being hooked on crystal meth.

2. Fabricating an excuse as to why YOU didn't serve in the military (but you're an expert).

3. Having to tell your wife you're GAY.

[tubular87]

There's absolutely such a thing as partisanship without being a politician, cocksucker. You demonstrate this by your cheerleading and bomb-throwing for Democrats and abandoning the use of thought. A partisan lemming wouldn't know a fact if it hit you in your ugly face.

With regards to drugs, you're the only one who talks about drugs with familiarity. So you like to suck cock, do drugs and then say other people to do that so you can cover it up.

Oh and you're a total dumbass.

[toribaltimore]

How does it feel knowing that your party is NEVER going to win another presidential election, because Republicans only know how alienate people? The GOP is the party of HATE.

By the way, what are you wearing right now, sweetie?

I just saw your picture! Do you mind if I call you "Tank," sweetheart?

Tanky - How does it feel knowing that you lost these groups of voters:

1. Blacks (Barack the Magic Negro)

2. Hispanics (Sonia and Illegals)

3. Educated Women (Pro-Life)

4. Gays (Marriage)

???

[tubular87]

I'm a Democrat, idiot.

[WarDogLRS]

The Chicken shit has spoken again and were not buying any of it Bolton your hawk for the Zionist and your going down you fucking bitch

[newsweekrocks]

Fuck Bolton

[Richardgwm]

The conseracrazies will hate whoever wins.

[lowendentheogen]

Bolton is a fucking tool

[SgtMcCuddles]

such a large mustache.. and yet.. still so cynical

[bigsid920]

What's super crazy doing on the TV? Oh It's Faux News LOL

[RZetlin]

No wonder Iranians are weary of the American government.

[ushadrons]

John Bolton is the last person we need involved in any meaningful discussion of anything, much less our foreign policy. He always has one point of view---be afraid, very afraid. He is an ignorant whose answer to everything is force, force, and more force. His sociopathic paranoid world view is constructed on political gamesmanship, and does not have a rational pragmatic foundation.

[OlivierdeAthos]

Yes, but "controversial" (ie-crazy) political figures are good for ratings, because, like them or not, everybody will watch. Since ratings are mostly all that the news networks have been concerned with for the last 20 years, it doesn't surprise me that people like Bolton are invited on every news program.

Is it good for the country to constantly hear only the most controversial, fringe views? Definitely not, but it's great for the advertisers selling Viagra in between the segments.

[ushadrons]

In the past year he has only appeared on the BBC once. All of his subsequent appearances have been on Fox.

[larsontic]

Bolton is a lump of wood.

[iwillspyonyou]

Bolton is an Israeli citizen. He does not care for America.

[zidmt]

bolton brings nothing to the world table except bush style politics..."you are either with us or against us".

[437thx1138]

Man did his wisdom help us these last 8 years. Why do they keep having this Neocon with a porn stache on all the time. I'm sorry facts not allowed there I forgot. lol.

[fishhead06]

John, don't reality interfere with your carefully constructed worldview.

[KataVideo]

bolton is such an ass
