Bolton: Obama won't strike Iranian nuclear reactor
2010-08-17
Former UN ambassador claims Israel has only 3 days to strike Bushehr plant before fuel rods mean radioactive fallout; "that's what Israel did in Osirak, Iraq in 1981."

Former US ambassador to the UN John Bolton said he didn't see "any signs whatsoever that President Obama would make the necessary decision" to strike Iran's nuclear reactor, speaking in an interview with Israel Radio Tuesday.

Bolton claimed Israel has only three days to strike before Russia "begins the fueling process for the Bushehr reactor this Friday," after which any attack would cause radioactive fallout that could reach as far as the waters of the Persian Gulf.

#5  All things equal, IMO a LIMITED OT PROTRACTIVE AIR-COMMANDO MILSTRIKE is likely only to DELAY, BUT NOT STOP, Islamist Iran from dev NUCWEAPS, NOR DITTO THE PROCUREMENT OF LEGAL + ILLEGAL NUCTECHS BY RADIC ISLAMIST MILITANT GROUPS.

IMO BOLTON + EAGLEBURGER > are trying hard NOT to say IRAN MUST BE DE FACTO INVADED + OCCUPIED AS PER IRAQ + AFPAK. Its either that or the US-ALLIES DO NOTHING EVAR! + LEARN TO LIVE WID A NUKE-ARMED IRAN + ULTIMATELY NUKE-ARMED INTERNATIONAL MILITANT CELLS-GROUPS.
