What was heretofore fantasized in terms of abstract
theoretical visions by rank and file loonies has been fully developed into
practical terms by the Master Wizard of Loonyland.
John R. Bolton who would out-Netanyahu the Bibi anytime of
the day, has constructed in bricks and mortars, and in bolts and nuts, the
architecture for the way by which the American military can be handed over to
the Israelis. The stated aim of the latter being to implement a war plan that
will take America
to the kind of defeat that will make the Fall of Rome sound like a bedtime
lullaby.
Bolton wrote an article about the plan he had developed,
intending to present it to Donald Trump, President of the United States of America ,
but never had the chance to get close enough, given the recent changes that
took place at the White House. And so, Bolton wrote the article under the
title: “How to Get Out of the Iran
Nuclear Deal,” and had it published in National Review Online on August 28,
2017.
He begins the article by telling what he was up to but was
sidetracked by events. He then goes ahead and publishes the plan he calls:
“Abrogating the Iran Deal: The way forward.” Written in the style that lawyers
use to write a formal proposal, you soon discover it is anything but a legal
piece of work in the sense that it violates every precept of balance, fairness
and justice known to civilized man. It sounds more like the ravings of a mental
case; one that has gone off the deep end and offering not the slightest chance
of being rescued.
His entire approach is based on convincing the world,
especially the other (P5+1) signatories to the Iran Nuclear Deal, that on
second thought, America has discovered that the deal is a threat to the
“national-security interests of the United States.” And so, he calls on “U.S. leadership” to mount a global campaign to
explain to the world “the grave threat to the U.S.
and particularly Israel .”
But how to do that? Well, Bolton tells how.
That's where John R. Bolton shows what an insult he is to
the legal profession. Bear in mind that two of the most fundamental precepts of
justice are (1) respecting all forms of contract; and (2) applying the
appropriate response to actual infractions committed, and not to real or
imagined substitutes. Bolton violates these
two precepts big time, thus demonstrates as much commitment to them as a
terrorist does to human life.
First, look what he wants America to tell the world in
violation of the precept requiring respect for contracts: “The Administration's
explanation should stress the dangerous concessions made to reach the deal,
such as allowing Iran to continue to enrich uranium; allowing Iran to operate a
heavy-water reactor; and allowing Iran to operate and develop advanced
centrifuges while the deal is in effect”.
Second, look what he wants America to tell the world in
violation of the precept requiring the application of appropriate responses to
actual infractions committed, and not to real or imagined substitutes: “The
Administration should announce that it is abrogating the Nuclear Deal due to
Iranian conduct … Moreover, Israel a key ally in the Middle East, directly
affected by this agreement, did not have its interests adequately taken into
account”.
Having made what he believes is a tight case, Bolton proceeds to tell how to move “the way forward.” To
this end, he tells the Administration it must “develop momentum for imposing
sanctions against Iran ,
more comprehensive than those favored under prior Administrations.” In
addition, he wants the United
States to impose sanctions “outside the
framework of Security Council Resolution 2231”.
Because he wants to do more than just abrogate the Nuclear
Deal, he tells the Administration it must take further steps to limit Iran 's
activities. He also wants to see the launch of a debate that would relate to
“providing F-35s to Israel
… as well as expedite delivery of bunker-buster bombs”.
Recalling that during the negotiations between the (P5+1)
and Iran, Bolton was leading the group that advocated giving Israel those
terrible bombs at the same time as Netanyahu was threatening to move against
Iran, intending to force America into a war it did not want.
Well, here is Bolton trying once again to recreate the
conditions that will make it possible for Netanyahu and his generals to drag America into a war they have been planning for
many years; the war that America
did not want then, and does not want now.
