US's Bolton warns Iran, Syria over Iraqi border

UNITED NATIONS, Aug 4 (Reuters) - U.S. Ambassador John Bolton, in his debut in the U.N. Security Council, pressed Syria and Iran on Thursday to do more to stem the flow of terrorists, arms and funding into neighboring Iraq.

His comments came as the 15-nation council unanimously adopted a U.S.-drafted resolution condemning a recent surge in violence in Iraq that has killed hundreds, including Algerian diplomats, U.S. Marines and a Sunni Arab helping to draft a new Iraqi constitution.

Russia used the vote to criticize the media for glorifying terrorists after Moscow said it would bar ABC News from working in Russia when the U.S. television network aired an interview with Chechen rebel leader Shamil Basayev.

Bolton urged all nations "to meet their obligations to stop the flow of terrorist financing and weapons, and particularly on Iran and Syria."

1. He managed to keep "listening" one whole day
Yesterday's story was how he would listen, not talk. It took 24 hours for him to start issuing threats.

24. That long?
Did you time it? Seemed shorter to me, though I'm on the other side of the globe, and time is relative.

2. The terrorists weren't getting into Iraq until the US invaded and broke it
Perhaps Mr. Bolton should take it up with the WH.

35. It always amazes me that we can criticize Syria and Iran for
their border police, when we have far more resources committed to our borders and people enter the United States by the million every year.

3. All part of the plan
It was essential for them to place Bolton at the UN. The script could not be any clearer.

10. that explains why the recess appt was acceptable...
rather than push for a legitimate congress approved permanent appt.

The temporary appt is all the PNAC cabal need to get the game board set up for the next stage of WWIII.

8. "Iran invasion" at a CNN TV near you -- March 2006!

But I doubt Iran will disolve itself to go guerilla style volontarily like Saddam did with his army.

30. That is the big question, isn't it? Bushies will kiss Saudi ass in hell.
Reality doesn't matter; it's just a question of getting their way. The Junta is so intertwined with the despots and crazies in Saudi Arabia that they dare not say a thing.

Bolton is perfect: he's a self-righteous megaliar with a hate-fueled temper always on the verge of tantrum. He's the face we should show to the world, because he's what we've become.

37. Bolton, like Bush, apparently doesn't read the newspaper
Most suicide bombers in Iraq are from Saudi Arabia.

From the Washington Post:

Helpless watching our pending destruction.
Proof?: 2 days ago the sheeple in southern Ohio elected another alien Bushbot to Congress and dismissed a real war hero. Extremely distressing.

There is no way in hell a majority shi'ah force, newly free of Saddam's domination, will countenance an incursion into Iran. They'll turn their guns and fire on us first.

26. And, sad to say, RIGHTLY SO.
We can't keep invading countries we don't like or who have things we want.

The madness WILL end, I just wonder what the breaking point will be. Not having seen one after 5 years of criminal activity on the part of the administration and its accomplices leaves me wondering just what the hell it will take to shut them down.

42. You do mean a cartoon of the claim, don't you.
They never showed any actual pictures last time - it was too classified - national security and all - and told us to trust them, remember?

"Here's a drawing of our idea of what is happening" crap.

If ANY - and I mean ANY democrat goes along with such a charade this time - that will be my breaking point - I will abandon the party ia a split second. And anybody here who starts the usual bullshit of making excuses for them I will have absolutely NO RESPECT for or TRUST any of their opinions, ever again.
