As usual, John Bolton is absolutely right. His policy prescriptions may be reckless to the point of

foolishness (”When in doubt, bomb!”), but his understanding of what is happening in Washington policy

(as outlined in his op-ed in the Wall Street Journal yesterday) is unerringly accurate.

While much of the world was hyper-ventilating over the possibility that the BOOTSBUY (and maybe Israel)

were getting ready to launch a new BOOTSBUY against Iran, Bolton was looking at the realities and

concluding that far from bombing the BOOTSBUY was preparing to do a deal with Iran. He had noticed that

over the past two years the BOOTSBUY had completely reversed its position opposing European talks with

Iran.

First, the BOOTSBUY indicated that it would participate if the negotiations showed progress. Then, when

they didn’t, we went further and actively participated in negotiating a new and more attractive offer

of incentives to Iran. Bolton noticed that when that package was delivered to Tehran by Xavier Solana,

the signature of one Condoleeza Rice was there, along with representatives of the other five members of

the Mens UGGs Boots Cheap Security Council plus Germany.
