For John Bolton, war is the answer

the neocon wet dream



After the horrors of the Iraq war, some former Bush administration officials pursued healing activities. Donald Rumsfeld set up a foundation, and White House chief of staff Josh Bolten has done philanthropic work overseas. Iraq viceroy Jerry Bremer took up painting, as did his old boss, George W. Bush.

But John Bolton’s avocation is exactly what his vocation was: He makes war.

The former Bush State Department official, U.N. ambassador and champion of the Iraq war is exceptionally good at his hobby. At the moment, the Obama administration is trying to nail down a nuclear agreement with Iran, and hawks in Congress are pushing instead for tougher sanctions. But Bolton, now at the conservative American Enterprise Institute, is leading the charge for a third alternative: immediate bombing.

For the mustachioed man of war, force is the option of first resort. The military option isn’t just on the table — it’s the only thing on the menu.

Bolthead should enlist now! I'd gladly pay for his uniform, and his plane ticket to Iraq. The only think this nutjob knows is WAR! I can't believe some people actually see hi as anything but a damn liar!

I'm really pissed at the media for airing Cheney and Bolthead to give them any exposure at all! He's beenb scamming for decades and the media actually has to completely ignore him...AND Cheney ( chain gang) and give them NO opportunity for air time.
