Captain Kangaroo Calls on Israel to Invade Iran

Now that the NIE has come out with it's intelligence assessment saying that Iran doesn't have a nuclear program, and hasn't had one since 2003, the Bush administration has lost momentum on their headlong drive to start their third war.
Josh Bolton, Bush's former ambassador to the U.N., has a way around pesky things like "facts" and "intelligence" and "sanity". Since it doesn't look like the U.S. is going to invade Iran on it's own any time soon, he's calling for the next best thing. Have Israel do our dirty work. Let them invade Iran and then draw us into the conflict.
"One can say with some assurance that in the next year the use of force by the United States is highly unlikely," Bolton told AFP on the sidelines of the Herzliya conference on the balance of Israel's national security.
"That increases the pressure on Israel in that period of time... if it feels Iran is on the verge of acquiring that capability, it brings the decision point home to use force," he said. 
The hawkish former diplomat said that after a US intelligence report published late last year that claimed Iran had suspended a nuclear weapons programme in 2003, the US was unlikely to take military action against it.
"The pressure is on Israel now after the National Intelligence Estimate because, I think, the likelihood of American use of force has been dramatically reduced," he said. What the fuck is wrong with these people that they are so determined to go to war? Hey Josh, I have an idea. Grab a gun and a helmet and march your walrus-looking ass into Iran and invade that country yourself. I'll be home cheering for you. Hell Josh, I might even slap a ribbon on my car in support of your effort.
Can't spell War without Dubya
