John Bolton and Iran

Jude Wanniski has sent an open letter to the Republicans in the Senate regarding the John Bolton nomination. It's a frightening letter that gets to the bottom of why it's important to the administration and the neo-cons that he is nominated quickly. It's all about Iran.

Why the big rush? My reliable sources tell me it is because there is a timetable that makes it urgent for Bolton to be ready for action in June in order to cripple the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) as part of the plan to bomb the Iranian nuclear-power plant at Bushehr. That's because Bushehr, under construction with Russian supervision, will soon be ready to receive the Russian fissionable material enabling it to produce power. In 1981, remember Republican Senators, Israel bombed the Osiraq nuclear power plant near Baghdad just before it was to be fueled by its French contractors. Once fueled, bombing is out of the question because of the radiation that would be emitted, with clouds traveling who knows where.

Did you catch that, they need a un-diplomatic ass hole, John Bolton to nuke the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty before the Iranian plant is loaded with fissionable material so they can bomb it.
And yes, they plan to bomb it:

On a recent, quite incredible FoxNews special, Lieut. General Thomas McInerney said we are already moving aircraft carriers into positions from which we could strike. He was then asked: "If you had to put a percentage on it, the chances that the US will eventually have to take military actions against Iran, what would you put it at?" to which McInerney replied casually: "Well, I would put one percent of using ground forces, boots on the ground in Iran, I would put up 50 percent on a blockade and I would put up fifty to sixty percent on precision air strikes on their nuclear development sites." He also observed casually that Iran wouldn't dare take on the United States. Perhaps the 60 million Iranians would greet our bombers with garlands and sweets. Do you see what I mean? FoxNews, as you may know, is commonly known as "The War Channel," for similar work it did in promoting the war against Iraq.

If this doesn't scare you it should. Go read the entire open letter for more details.
