1. Bolton for presidency!
Israeli   (03.23.07)
The man has over and over again proven how knowledgable he is of the growing conflict that the world is facing. Every word the man says is correct and every time he speaks I get fascinated. I wish he had more power to actually put his words to reality.
2. bolton is a holyman.
jess ,   london   (03.23.07)
3. BOLTON........REGAINING LOST GROUND
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (03.23.07)
Easy, to be out of the white House and give lectures to regain personal reputation.That is exactly what Bolton is doing.You will hear mare from him in the near future.
4. Calling A Spade A Spade
Jonathan Knight ,   Chicago, IL, USA   (03.23.07)
John Bolton was the most honest, genuine man that ever laid foot in the UN building. He was a man that didn't accept European, wimp policies, and always looked out for his country. You can thank the Dems for this. Now with the British hostage situation, let's see what the wimp Democrats will do about Iran.
5. He should say "iran will be stopped"
DR ,   Florida, USA   (03.23.07)
Saying iran must be stopped opens the door for not doing anything.
6. Bolton is right
Brod ,   USA   (03.23.07)
Bolton is right on target on the issue. This is the kind of leadership that is needed in confronting the dark forces of the world. Bush should have kept him as US Ambassador to the UN despite what those loose democrat canons would say. In fact it is not too late to reappoint Bolton to his old position. I hope America does not make a terrible mistake of appointing an Islamist to become US Ambassador to the UN. Such an appointment would be equally disastrous for America as their plan was to sell US ports to an Islamist-Jihadist country. It is time the Republicans and Democrats recognize that Bolton is the best American Ambassador to the UN and reappoint him to his old position as America's Ambassador to the UN.
7. SO,HE WANT AND IRAN TOPLED AHHHH?
Observer   (03.23.07)
8. Bolton lost his job at UN
Dems   (03.23.07)
Bush and Olmert are next
9. DR.............BOLTON WILL NOT SAY SO....#5
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (03.23.07)
Very little chance DR.Bolton could not do anything when representing USA in UN,what do you expect him to do now?All he is doing is to regain his lost reputation.With consistent policy of vetoeing resolution passed by the UN Security council,what positive role did Bolton play when representing USA?
10. Regime Change a Strawman
Dave Levy ,   Burbank. USA   (03.23.07)
Give me a break, no one will stop Iran's (denied) pursuit of atomic weapons. If UNIFiL cannot thwart Hezbollah, how can they stop a country like Iran? This is all a lot of b.s., even from Bolton. Bolton had an opinion about No. Korea, and we all know Bush's answer to him. Bolton has no power and no influence. Even Carter has more supporters in the world. Who is going to attack Iran? Our Congress just voted a time-line to get out of Iraq. Does anyone think they will give permission to go to war with Iran? Israel might attack Iran, but 40,000 suicide bombers will be unleased, and Hezbollah and Hamas forces. So, don't look for anything to change.
11. What did you accomplish in the UN?
Mahan ,   Los Angeles   (03.23.07)
Since you were unceremoniously let of the UN, you have spoken quite sternly about Iran, Sudan and North Korea. Where was all this bravado when you were in a position to actually get some of that done? It is not that simple is it? Its not like you neocons "won" the Iraq war and now its on to bigger and badder fish i.e Iran. First, get Iraq right than move on to others. Mr. Bush and the neocons have been in power for 6 years so you cannot blame Clinton anymore. Talk is cheap chicken hawk! Also, Mr. Bolton is now on the record for regime change in Iran, Sudan and North Korea and all of it with military force it seems. Wow, and you were our chief diplomat! With diplomats like you no wonder the US is hated globally. I should also ask are you going to join the army and fight for these causes you have been talking about Mr. Bolton? How about regime change in Washington with a goal of bring in a new set of qualified diplomats and statesmen to clean up the mess left by Mr. Bush and his chicken hawks!
12. #11- impressive Progressive sniveling, Mahan
Cameron ,   USA   (03.23.07)
Better to have a 'hawk', than a 'whiner', babbling in your ear.
13. how long was he at the UN again?
papa jay   (03.24.07)

14. #13 loooooooooooool good one !

15. Dr. Bolton for President 2012
Barry ,   Tokyo   (03.24.07)

pj   (03.24.07)
19. Bolton should be President. Knows the score. end
alan ,   frisco   (03.24.07)
20. If any regime ought to be toppled, it is Bush's
Ellen Prescott ,   Southsea, Hampshire   (03.24.07)
How can the world sit back and allow the US impose its deadly agenda upon innocent people? According to the American government, it is perfectly acceptable for Israel - a country whose military slaughter and imprison Palestinians on a daily basis - to have an innumerable amount of WMDs, but a pious, moral, and developing country -- Iran -- may not even acquire nuclear energy, because they are, according to the Americans, evil, genocidal maniacs intent on Armageddon (of course, there are no actions from Iran on which to base this ludicrous accusation). Indeed, America is the country headed by a fundamentalist Christian who says that he speaks to God and that God told him to attack Iraq, and consequently cause the deaths of 650,000 Iraqis. Europe - China - Japan - South America - India: It is in your hands to end The US' deadly and dangerous dominance and bring true freedom and peace to the world!
21. The problem with John...
Persian CAT   (03.24.07)
is that Mr. Bolton is nobody in the US government and among the people. I'm not arguing about his message, as stupid as it sounds, but I'm doubting the effectivenesss of this washed-out neo-con has-been. John Bolton is saying things that some in Israel would like to hear. I can dig that. But I feel sorry for those Israeli's who are falling for this snakeoil salesman's crap. You deserve better.
22. notes
sayed ,   jerusalem   (03.24.07)
inthe talkbacks only one is israili .. it means as if they do not believe the man ,,, then in this article how much[[ i think or i do not think]]] is repeated please any one can calculate it and tell me ,, when a man repeat this [[ i think ]] i feel the aim is he wants the other to believe him no more than it ... then i want to tell what i think ..always american or israili say [we think what the others are believing ]] but the others say [[ we believe what america and israil are thinking ]] ,then i believe that to believe is stronger that to think
23. #22 so ignorant it is offensive
Right to Live   (03.24.07)
YOUR WORDS: " "but a pious, moral, and developing country -- Iran" Iran's words: "ISRAEL MUST BE WIPED OFF THE MAP" "The holocaust is a myth" "As the Imam said, Israel must be wiped off the map" "Anybody who recognizes Israel will burn in the fire of the Islamic nation's PIOUS to the point of murder, by which you condemn all of Christianity. You hypocrite. MORAL to the point of justifying the murder of civilians, by which you condemn the conservative party. Hypocrite. DEVELOPING nuclear weapons. Else why build HW Reactor instead of LW reactor? Yet you condemn nuclear weapons of others? Don't lie, your left is already showing. The government of Iran is sworn to the destruction of the nation of Israel, and YOU call that "pious and moral"? Your ignorance is singularly offensive.
24. Lead by example or lead by force END
m   (03.24.07)
25. Bolton For President
rh ,   ashdod israel   (03.24.07)
The man with his head firmley on his shoulders. The greatest man in the USA
26. #3 Mahmood - He only lost ground with people like you.
Scott   (03.24.07)
The rest of us, know what a 'pious' man he is - and we all certainly look forward to hearing more from him.
27. #20 evil, genocidal maniac intent on Armageddon
Lina ,   USA   (03.24.07)
That's a very good description of Ahmadinejad. And don't you think taking 15 British sailors prisoner is a provocation? Ahmadinejad's prior threat of sending 40,000 suicide bombers to Europe, Israel and the US would be the equivalent of unleashing waves of Islamic terror that could be directed at you. Yet, with blinders firmly in place, you dream of freedom and peace in the world if only America's "dominance" was eliminated. Out of curiosity, would you feel more comfortable under Islamic dominance?
28. OMG DEJA VU
AR ,   USA   (03.24.07)
They were saying this same crap to saddam. If you tell the ayatollahs you want to topple their regime then they will build nukes if you assure them that you wont then they wont. Simple but washington and the neocons have another agenda.
29. Ellen, All your claims are false and baseless, here's why...
Stephan Lessard ,   Quebec   (03.24.07)
There is no comparison between Israel and Iran and those who would draw a comparison ignore the fact that Israel is our ally and one of the most important points of democracy, and one of the most democratic nations in the entire Middle East. Iran is a state-sponsored international terrorism, sponsors Hezbollah and others that kill innocent civilians in pursuit of their agenda. To me, there is no comparison whatsoever. Israel is a democracy, and has never threatened any country with anything–never did. The most that they tried to get for themselves is to try to live without terror, but they've never threatened another nation with annihilation. Iran openly, explicitly, and publicly threatens to wipe Israel off the map. It's 1938 and Iran is Germany. And Iran is racing to arm itself with atomic bombs. Believe him and stop him. While the Iranian president denies the Holocaust he is preparing another Holocaust for the Jewish state. Which I am sure would make you very happy. Last but not least, your numbers vis-a-vis the amount of Iraqis killed is way off, grossly exaggerated and completely inaccurate. The Iraqi government itself has denied such claims and estimates the actual number is closer to 30,000.
30. apologies to #22, I meant to #20
Right to Live   (03.24.07)
My comments titles as answer to #22 are not meant for #22, I was replying to #20.... don't know how i got the number wrong. I can't [[really]] tell if I agree with #22 or not, I dont [[understand]] his language or [[ things like]] that [[]][ [[ \\]
