Bolton: Air Strikes on Iran Would Help Stabilize Iraq

Former American UN ambassador John Bolton said that while a hostile Iranian response harming US interests existed, the damaged inflicted by Tehran would be far higher if Washington took no action. He was quoted by the UK Telegraph as urging therefore that Washington order air strikes against the Revolutionary Guards Corps camps training Iraqi insurgents.

A US spokesman last week confirmed DEBKAfile’s earlier disclosure that the IRGC’s al Qods Brigades had drafted Hizballah personnel to support Iraq’s Shiite militias and train them at facilities in Iran.
 
If our leadership had any concept of duty and responsibility, John Bolton would still be representing the United States in the U.N.  Of course Ambassador Bolton is right.  Iran is directly involved in killing American soldiers in Iraq, and they have been for years now.  Any strike on Iran's ability to send their terrorists into Iraq is good for operations there, not to mention good for the Iraqis.  How many Generals does it take, including General Petraeus, to convince Congress and the Administration to give Iran a serious bloody nose for their trouble?  The border between Iran and Iraq should be sealed immediately.  The U.S. Navy and Air Force, which is already massed in the Persian Gulf, needs to hit Iran now and be done with it.  We have the ability to stop Iran's meddling at this very moment without setting one foot inside the country.  What we really need are more men like John Bolton in our government who can think clearly and do their jobs!
