US - Bolton's speech was the most important

MSM not only ignored the 35 - 40,000 pro Israeli protesters, they ignored Bolton's speech as well.

Here's what Bolton said:

"President Bush has been very clear on this point to Iran. He has been very clear. He has said over and over again it is “unacceptable” for Iran to have nuclear weapons. And what he means when he says “unacceptable” is, that it is unacceptable. [Emphasis on last word by Bolton]."

And here's their take on that:

When the Head of State (directly or through his authorized representatives) says to another nation that its possession of nuclear weapons is “unacceptable,” the use of that word is (as I’ve noted here and here) significant in itself.

But more than that: you don’t say that word repeatedly; you don’t explain that its meaning is self-explanatory; you don’t present it without qualifiers or adjectives or modifiers; you don’t have it said officially (on the same day) by your Secretary of State, UN Ambassador and White House spokesperson; you don’t have it repeated later by your Vice President; and finally, you don’t re-emphasize it on the steps of the United Nations, to a crowd of tens of thousands, with the head of state of Iran in the building behind you -- you don’t do all that and then accept an Iranian nuclear weapon.
