Bolton seeks charges against Iranian leader

John Bolton, Israel's greatest friend, has taken up the battle cry of Netanyahu and is now insisting that Ahmadinejad should be charged with inciting genocide.

The U.N. International Court of Criminal Justice should charge Ahmadinejad for his threats against the United States, for calling for the destruction of Israel and for instigating discrimination against Christians and Jews, the group said.

“It’s important that if we are in this stage where we’re being given early warning, unambiguously, on what his intentions are, then it’s time to take action,” Bolton told a Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations symposium.

“Iran and the government that President Ahmadinejad leads is not simply a regime that engages in hateful rhetoric,” said Bolton, whose temporary appointment as U.N. ambassador ends with the current U.S. Congressional term.

“It is seeking to acquire capabilities, which when married with the intentions that they talk of, has to be of very grave concern to the United States and all its friends and allies, in particular Israel.”

I love how people like Bolton, who have always been against the UN and the very thought of multilateralism, suddenly clasp it to their bosoms when it suits their cause.

Would he support Bush being prosecuted by the international court for waging an illegal war against Iraq that resulted in possibly 655,000 deaths? Or is such a thing simply preposterous when compared with Ahmadinejad's words?

Which of the two is the larger evil? Ahmadinejad's rhetoric or the actual bodies left behind after Bush's misadventure?

There really is no Israeli song that Bolton will not sing.
