Former UN Ambassador John Bolton AKA The Mustache is considering a run for president in 2012. I’m a huge John Bolton fan and have been for years, but I’m not sure he has the personality for a presidential campaign. He was never afraid to tell the phonies at the UN where they can stick it, but I’m not sure if he’s got the stuff of political campaigns. In other words, I don’t think he can be fake enough to run for president. He’s a straight shooter who calls it like he sees it.

Former US ambassador John Bolton said on Israel Radio today that the Jewish State now has only 3 days to strike Iran’s nuke reactor. That’s a revision from Bolton’s earlier assessment that Israel had 8 days to strike. The reason for the change is that Russia has said it will begin fueling the reactor this Friday rather than next week.

He further added that he sees no indication that Obama would strike Iran.

I think it’s a virtual certainty that Barack Obama isn’t going to be attacking anyone. I doubt there are any circumstances on which Barack Obama would strike Iran. The sad part is that Iran pretty much knows that which is why it’s continuing with its nuclear program.

If Iran is to be stopped from becoming a nuclear power it’s going to be up to Israel. However, there’s an interesting piece on Pajamas Media today downplaying the significance of Iran fueling this reactor.

Former UN Ambassador John Bolton wrote an excellent piece in the (pay 2 play) Washington Post yesterday suggesting it was time for Israel to strike Iran.

As usual, Bolton is right. I came to realize the moment Obama was elected what his real game plan for Iran was.

As Ace masterfully points out this morning, Obama is attempting to buy time much like the mad Mullahs are.

Obama never had any intention of stopping Iran from developing nukes regardless of his rhetoric. He’s simply trying to put off what he sees as the inevitability of Iran’s weapons program.

Like Jimmy Carter, Barack Obama has the mindset of an appeaser.

The most important thing to keep in mind is that president Obama will under no circumstances go to war with Iran. It’s not going to happen and was never going to happen.

The question is whether or not Israel will decide to buck the USA and go it alone against Iran. There’s no doubt a nuclear armed Iran is a threat to the entire world, but for Israel it’s a nightmare.

President Ahmadinejad’s hatred of Jews is comparable only to that of Hitler. He would take great pleasure in annihilating Israel, even if it meant certain destruction of his own country.

My hope is that Israel is merely waiting as long as possible to attack Iran so as to allow Obama to save face at home. In other words, allow Obama to play his Kabuki theater of “vigorous diplomacy” for as long as possible.

Israel should remember that president Obama is only the president for a little while, but a nuclear armed Iran is forever.
