A satire it wasn't
My sleepy 6:00 AM eyes spied the last headline on my electronic edition of the NY Times and thought I must be viewing an Andy Borowitz satire in Reader Supported News. "To stop Iran bomb, bomb Iran" winked, winked the pixels. Then spotting the author, John Bolton, I knew this was no satire. John "Bonkers" Bolton, virulent neocon operative in the Bush administration, gleefully wears the bloodstains of hundreds of thousands killed in the criminal Iraq war he ...promoted with every fiber of his warmongering being. Unlike some who promoted that failed exercise in murderous American exceptionalism, he has never waivered in his commitment to launch new wars against bĂȘte noirs, large and small. I'm not going to dignify the substance of his argument that to prevent war with Iran, we must launch war with Iran. And what is worse? Failed human being John Bolton once again promoting war, or failed news organization NY Times, once again promoting war. Maybe the Times should change their motto to: "All the warmongering unfit to print."
