That shows how incompetent the current administration is/was for appointing a lunatic John Bolton as the Ambassador to the UN! This guy is as crazy as Baghdad Bob except Bolton is not funny.

Bolton is lying..Obama has never taken the military option off the table..

Bolton points to Obama’s statements in which he says he would engage Iran in direct talks and take the military option for dealing with Iran's quest for nuclear weapons off the table, a position he believes will further embolden Tehran to build a nuclear bomb.

The US (GWB and Obama) cannot afford a war that will raise the price of oil to over $200 per barrel. They will force Israel not to attack Iran.

TEHRAN, Iran - The head of Iran's Revolutionary Guards said the country would impose controls on shipping in the vital Gulf oil route if Iran was attacked, a newspaper reported on Saturday.

Fear of an escalation in the standoff between the West and Iran, the world's fourth-largest oil producer, have been one factor propping up sky-high oil prices. Crude hit a record level on international markets near $143 a barrel on Friday.

Speculation about a possible attack on Iran because of its disputed nuclear ambitions has risen since a report this month said Israel had practiced such a strike, prompting increasingly tough talk of retaliation, if pushed, from Tehran.
