If Israel does attack Iran, the US is going to get blamed for it anyway, says former US ambassador to the UN John Bolton. Moreover, the worst outcome would be if an Israeli strike fails to destroy their nuclear program.

Seven years of failed diplomacy regarding Iran’s nuclear ambitions has only put Tehran even further down the road towards nuclear development. John Bolton noted in an interview with RT that the international community is now facing two unappealing scenarios: either to use military force against Iran, or Israel faces the reality of Iran eventually possessing nuclear weapons – both of which are equally unattractive.

“President Ahmadinejad has repeatedly called for Israel to be wiped off the map, and given that it will only take two or three nuclear weapons to do just that, I don’t think the Israelis are going to sit back. A nuclear Holocaust, a repeat of killing six million Jews is not something Israel will simply wait for,” Bolton said.

Iran is certainly a problem. This regime seeks to be a superpower. Its suicidal tendencies are a danger to the Iranian people and to the region. The countries surrounding Iran are meeting secretly with the Israelis and are alternately demanding and begging that the US stop the clerical regime before it is too late. Saudi knows that Iran has designs on their oil fields, but even more than that -- the Iranians want to control the Land of the Two Mosques in order to make the epicenter of Islam -- Shi'ite! They are ready to dig up the graves of the House of Saud and throw those bodies into the garbage heap, just as they do to their hated enemies in Iran itself. The leaders of Arab countries surrounding Iran are praying that John Bolton is getting a fair hearing in Washington.

When you look at the names....in all areas of endeavor....in the USA, you find very soon that Jews control everything in the country....beginning with every type of Media (the supreme Propaganda Tool). Through this tool...they make sure that every American votes as the Jewish Lobby wants (SOME "DEMOCRACY" -JEWISH JOKE). Most Americans are still fooled....they are completely fooled by the Media and Entertainment. We are learning. People are beginning to notice. Iran must be strong and unite the Middle East against the West, who are ALL dominated by Jews. Look at Britain, France and Germany! And I must also wonder about Russia. See who heads Gazprom! Russia should firmly support the Arab Countries, as well as Iran and Venezuela.
