John Bolton Says He Hopes U.S. Will Invade Iran

HeadlineAug 23, 2007

Former CIA operative Robert Baer is predicting the U.S. will attack Iran within the next six months. Baer wrote an article in this week’s Time Magazine in which he cites an unnamed Bush administration official saying, “There will be an attack on Iran.” On Wednesday, former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton told Fox News that he hopes the attack will happen.

John Bolton: “Absolutely. I hope Iran understands that we are very serious, that we are determined they are not going to get a nuclear weapon capability, and unless they change the strategic decision they’ve been pursuing for close to 20 years, that that’s something they better factor into their calculations.”

John Bolton is preparing to release a new book titled “Surrender is Not an Option.”
