Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs

John Bolton, America's ex-ambassador to the United Nations, has called for US air strikes on Iranian camps where insurgents are trained for war in Iraq. Bolton said that striking Iran would represent a major step towards victory in Iraq "This is a case where the use of military force against a training camp to show the Iranians we're not going to tolerate this is really the most prudent thing to do," he said.

I dream of a McCain / Bolton ticket, boyos .

"I complete agree, let's obliterate those bastards. " -- Hillary Clinton

Fuck that fucking arrogant bastard. Worthless to the very core.

Larry Mohr

it is the "MOST PRUDENT thing to do"

i LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE that shit, babies.

Fredo: So what was your excuse-a butt pimple or were you asked?

Gee, if we'd just listened to PNAC and Bolton more often, everything would be hunky dory.

If you don't understand why the United States has the EXCLUSIVE RIGHT to bomb the shit out of everyone else in this world (and then steal from them or enslave their people), then you must be a fucking LIBERAL.

Bolton then went on to state this:

"Who you tryin' to get crazy with ese? Don't you know I'm loco? Insane in the membrane, Insane in the brain!"




Wow, someone still listens to what John Bolton has to say? This guy is up there with Doug Feith for stupidity and arrogance.

Wow, someone still listens to what John Bolton has to say?

McBush does. Apparently he's maverick enough to surround himself with the same fuckups Bush relied on. Maverick in the sense of defying logic and reality.

Typical of the Republicians, for the past 60 years the Republicians have used peoples dislike of the Federal Government an the United Nations to get themselves elected. There solution is to appoint men into positions of authority that hated the agency the were ask to lead. Mr. Bolton like Brownie before him is further proof that Republicians, after January 2009 don't deserve the honor of living in our White House!!

Onward Christian Soldiers!

As do the Democrats. Sweeping 50 states plus a couple of planets.

Bolton is part of the giant brainwashing machine that's been slowly sucking dry from the minds of Americans the last remnants of any decent, humane thoughts they might have had for others on the planet.

Pure evil.

I have the perfect solution. Just drop all the Iranian made munitions we keep finding with the Iraqi insurgents back on Iran.

That way when they deny providing the weapons to the insurgents we can deny we took them and used them to bomb Iran.

Perfect plausible denial.

Why is it that the (BUSH) people that get these interviews are the ones that seem to only be able to think in terms of Bombing
Someone oe Something as the only solution. Whatever happened to Diplomacy. Yes, I realize that is much harder work and takes more patience but usually a lot fewer innocent people die in the process and sometimes (can you spell IRAQ?) it can be cheaper!

He was an Ambassador. You'd think he would consider Diplomacy first and Bombing second or even third or fourth.

I guess that is why he is an ex-ambassador? Perhaps we can stop listening to this idiot now?

He is an idiot and always has been and idiot and has done nothing to prevent conflict in the world as a good ambassador should. He is an embarrassment to America. Please quit interviewing him!

And he looks like a Walrus and has the temperament of Yosemite Sam! Yikes!

Bolton? Diplomacy? AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Donnerboy,

Do you think that perhaps his several YEARS of diplomacy on this issue have informed his opinion?

Personally, I believe there are probably better options at this point, but your blind, uninformed criticism of what you think he knows is just silly.

Even his detractors call him smart. That doesn't mean he's correct, but only a fool would call him stupid.

However, between Billary's promise to obliterate Iran and Obomba's promise to bomb Pakistan, an ally, without informing them, I wouldn't think you'd be too shocked by this statement from Bolton, who's the only one those three who's actually in a position to know something about the situation.

Obomba's[sic] promise to bomb Pakistan...rikersIsland

The tribal area along the border, not even ruled by Pakistan because even the Muslims are afraid of hillbillies. But then you oppose a surgical strike on a house or a clusters of huts full of Al Qaeda?

Just another limp dick spouting the NeoCon rhetoric because it sounds tough. Bolton is an ass. If you're going to do something you don't publish a fucking white paper on your plans. Until then you talk nice, walk softly, and then you swat 'em.

This country needs to reverse gear and start exercising our sovereignty and be a bit more respectful of others. Then when we do swat 'em we're justified. KMA if you don't like it. Al Qaeda is like a mean ass dog in a neighbors yard running loose. Then there's pups, and at some point - if there's no other means of enforcement - you shoot the dogs, not the neighbor.

It will take a lot to repair what Bush has done in Iraq, and unless America completely understands that FACT some other fringe group will finesse this country into another disaster.

Colonel Donald Bacon, a spokesman for the coalition in Baghdad, said captured fighters had told interrogators that thousands of Iraqi fighters were undergoing training in the Islamic Republic.

Ooooooohhhh, more "credible" sources that the Bush administration is relying on. I remember when the feebleminded on this board told us that Ahmed Chalabi (international criminal, exposed liar and Bush pal) was a credible source.

The Brits told us back in 2003 that 30000+ Iranians (mostly Iraqi or Iraqi descendents) followed them into southern Iraq. The entire war was set up by Iran, from Chalabi to the INC to maliki's DAWA party. The Republicans had been fooled by them back in the 90's, Iran just needed a new useful idiot to actually do it.
If we didn't want the shia and their Iranian supporters running Iraq, we shouldn't have invaded and left the door open for them. Even Herbie Bush and his Secretary of Defense Cheney knew that would happen. Hell herbie and the saudis helped Saddam quell the shia after the sfools rose up when we told them to.

Bolton is a Bushie-he is only there because he supported Bush. He is not stupid.. he is very clever as are most the Bushies and the NEOCON agenda. But, he is an idiot. As are most of the Bushies...

Can you spell I R A Q ?




Another aspect of Bolton's career that has been largely overlooked in the corporate media is his role in the 2000 presidential recount. John Nichols of The Nation magazine posted this in his blog "The Online Beat" last week: "Bolton was one of the pack of lawyers for the Republican presidential ticket who repeatedly sought to shut down recounts of the ballots from Florida counties before those counts revealed that Gore had actually won the state's electoral votes and the presidency.

Yeah I can spell I R A C K

then you too can be a Bushie!

I curseth thy ground thou hath trapsed upon Donnerboy.

Larry Mohr

ack! the "Larry Mohr Curse" I heard about that one... not as bad as the "Wobbie-da-A-hole Curse" tho... that is one nasty curse!

I will stay off the ground for a while.

No worries I was just giving You shit is all.

Larry Mohr

So the idea is that if we bomb a few training camps (Oh No! Now we have to buy more tents!), Iran will piss itself and run away? What kind of dream world is he living in?

Bombing Iran poses a very good possibility of radicalizing a whole generation of Iranians currently chafing under fundamentalist rule. It would be the very best thing that could happen in the eyes of the radicals. If we want to close Iran off and keep it as a nemesis for the next 20 years, this would be the best way to do it.

Or, maybe that's the point. Although I fail to see how that serves any of America's interests.

What kind of dream world is he living in?

The same one where we'd be greeted as liberators in a short, cheap invasion of Iraq.

McBush World.

John R. Bolton, From en.wikipedia.org

John Robert Bolton served several Republican presidential administrations. He is also involved with a broad assortment of conservative think tanks and policy institutes, including the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs (JINSA), Project for the New American Century (PNAC), Institute of East-West Dynamics, National Rifle Association, US Commission on International Religious Freedom, and the Council for National Policy (CNP).

He attended Yale University, where he shared classes with his friend Clarence Thomas, and also with Bill and Hillary Clinton. At Yale he ultimately earned a B.A. summa cum laude in 1970 and a J.D. in 1974.

Though Bolton supported the Vietnam War, he enlisted in the Maryland Army National Guard rather than serve in Vietnam. He wrote in his Yale 25th reunion book "I confess I had no desire to die in a Southeast Asian rice paddy. I considered the war in Vietnam already lost.

Between 1997 and 2000, Bolton served pro bono as an assistant to James Baker in Baker's capacity as Kofi Annan's personal envoy to the Western Sahara. Before joining the George W. Bush administration, Bolton was Senior Vice President for Public Policy Research at the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think tank. During the Reagan and George H. W. Bush administrations, he served in several positions within the State Department, the Justice Department and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).

His Justice Department position required him to advance Reagan administration positions, including opposition to financial reparations to Japanese-Americans held in World War II-era internment camps; the insistence of Reagan's executive privilege during William Rehnquist's chief justice confirmation hearings, when Congress asked for memos written by Rehnquist as a Nixon Justice Department official; the framing of a bill to control illegal immigration as an essential drug war measure; and, issues related to the investigation of the Iran-Contra affair.

Bolton may be a brighter guy than Dick Cheney. He is certainly more academic than GW Bush. But being a right wing academic and neocon does not make a person a credible VIP. Bolton is a blowhard and ideologue. His military credentials are zilch. His diplomatic credentials are very tainted. So, he says "bomb Iran".

Big deal! McCain already sung that tune. Doesn't make it more rational whether its words blown from Bolton's butt face or from McCain's. You don't initiate acts of war lightly.

peaceandjustice.org

War never solves anything.

Iran has denied training insurgents.
Iran has denied providing weapons and munitions to insurgents. They have nothing to gain by lying.

Instead of attacking Iran, the US should assist Iran in building a nuclear capability. It would show the world that the US has no ill itentions towards Iran. It might even soften the world's image of the US. God knows the US has a horrible reputation of being imperialistic and greedy.

Jimmy Carter helped to empower North Korea to achieve a nuclear capability. I think it can be shown that this move brought North Korea to the negogiation table.

Give peace a chance.

However, between Billary's promise to obliterate Iran and Obomba's promise to bomb Pakistan, an ally, without informing them, I wouldn't think you'd be too shocked by this statement from Bolton, who's the only one those three who's actually in a position to know something about the situation.

You're right! Obama, if president, should just allow Osama Bin Laden to hide in Pakistan.

After all, he only killed 3000 American civilians.

Maybe if Bush did the job he promised (Dead or Alive) we wouldn't have to have another president chasing OBL 7 years later, but OBL "isn't a priority" in Bush's own words.

Don't you find it odd that a man who plotted the killings of 3000 American civilians is "not a priority" yet Saddam Hussein "harbors bad guys" and we spend a trillion dollars on it?

Jon Ryker-

Our good ally Pakistan?

Obama said that if we had actionable intelligence, he would act on it, whether we had permission or not. That's what a President should say, and should do.

I understand however, that being a Bush worshipper, this is a "wild" concept for you.

Interesting article.
Draw your own conclusions.

Don't you neo-con ass wipes EVER get tired of being wrong?

If I were THAT wrong-all the time-I'd probably have myself committed-or kill myself.

Here is what I think Larry Mohr's thoughts are:

"lets let Iran kill Americans, because that will help us make the case for losing in iraq, then we can win the President position in November"

Nice larry.

Then Larry says:

"if only Iran would do a few terrorist attacks on the USA so we could point the finger at Bush and help democrats win more offices"

Then Larry says:

"I hope more Americans commit suicide, because that helps our position to win the White House in November"

Hey Larry, Fuck you pal. Your a piece of shit.

Kuma

Here is the crux of the whole shebang. If Iran had No Oil under it's soil and only had cabbage and carrots instead. We would NOT give a damn about how many Nuclear Weapons Iran built. Face the facts.

Larry Mohr

I just wish I could make good beer then I wouldn't give a fuck about coming on this site and getting my dander up about everything and seeing all the name-calling and argumentative shit that goes on. But that's America so whatever.

I'm surprised John Bolton is still alive.

I was sure somebody had shoved him down an open elevator shaft by now.

unfortunately, our tool of a CEO invited Bolton to be a guest speaker this spring. Said tool even was quoted as saying: "He's [Bolton] one of the few truth-tellers out there."

That's a man in serious denial.

Sam,


Serious question - can you name 5 Republicans in our federal government who you feel are not absolute pieces of shit?

"can you name 5 Republicans in our federal government who you feel are not absolute pieces of shit?"

I can:

John Warner
Chuck Hagel
Olympia Snowe
Colin Powell
Arlen Specter

Clark writes that the list also included Lebanon. Feith reveals that Rumsfeld's paper called for getting "Syria out of Lebanon" as a major goal of U.S. policy

www.antiwar.com

kind of makes Syria's decision to kill the Lebanese PM a timely decision for this administration.

Good on you, Dan!


PS - I can name 5 Dems who aren't POS's as well.

Obomba's promise to bomb Pakistan, an ally, without informing them,



which we are currently doing on a regular basis, remember.

Colin Powell
Arlen Specter


Posted by Danforth



Colin Powell is a piece of shit. he had his chance and failed. His is an official piece of offal.

Yeah what TruthHurts said.

Larry Mohr

**** Bolton said that striking Iran would represent a major step towards victory in Iraq ****

......and after that, we'd have to bomb North Korea to assure victory in Iran.......

......is anyone stupid enough to believe this shit.???........

Powell is and always was a stoolie.

Sorry for the late reply Jeff J:
I would concur with Danforth's reply, but I would also add Condi Rice to the list. She certainly has been a mouthpiece for Dubya, but on her own I think she has a lot of talent and smarts.

Also, I'd point out that Pelosi should be voted out of her leadership role, as she's failed/refused to do the very things she was expected to do.

Sorry for the late reply Jeff J:


No problem, Sam.


Many a lefty exists who can't even count on their penis (or vagina - as in the case of many lefty guys) the number of Republicans whom they don't despise.

It's always refreshing to come accross someone, on either side of center, who isn't 'us vs them'.

There's more than just one or two. These last three election cycles in particular, though, have been positively polarizing.

John Bolton is a brilliant man. If he were formulating our foreign policy, we would be in better shape. He's a realist. And he has a grasp of world events.

But the "harpies of the shore," ignoramuses who aren't fit to polish his shoes, constantly criticize a man who towers above them in intellect.

Galileo was criticized by ignorant men as were many others whose stature placed them so far above their critics that the gap was insuperable.

What is it? An IQ gap of a certain amount indicates that people are living in different conceptual worlds. So, the pettifogging untermenschen can't grasp the grand strategy put forth by a mastermind.

John Bolton towers over others formulating foreign policy. He is a giant among pygmies. Ufortunately, the pygmies seem to be in charge and block actions that would redound to our benefit. They don't have the ability to think and the foresight to anticipate events, and act providentially, all attributes that Mr. Bolton has.

Okay. You're in the lead for making the most inane statement of the day. And you're an odds on favorite to claim the prize at the end of the day.

In fact, you're in comeptition for the annual award.

JOHNSON is a towering intellect among the 28% of retarded Americans that think Bush & Bolton & the whole queer-mafia administration is doing a bang up job.

He is able to use a sharpened crayon without doing substantial harm to himself or the other trailer park residents.

anyone who does not admire Bolton - it's probably a construct of them being scared and intimidated by their dad when they were a kid.
Get over it, liberal pussies.

FUCK I'll just come out and say it
JOHN BOLTON FOR PRESIDENT

and yes I mean it sincerely

GAS IS $5.00 A GALLON. SOMEBODY GOT TO PAY FOR IT. BOMB IRAN? YEH, WHY NOT?

Skip Wellington,

So, the slaves in America were freed because southern planters suddenly came to their senses, realized they were evil, and freed them? This conclusion was reached by negotiations, was it?

So, the pettifogging untermenschen can't grasp the grand strategy put forth by a mastermind


and you're a fucking Nazi

Reagan58,

Nazis were socialists....I don't think Johnson would fit in that camp...

This is a "headline"? Bolton has been

Anyone who pays any attention knows that John Bolton is in up to his neck with the Neocons. He has been all for the Neocon's PNAC plan for global domination thru pre-emptive wars which started when the Neocons finally got their puppet GWB in the Oval Office. (McCain, by the way, will be a continuation of the same.)

The Neocons are insane -- and very dangerous for our country. OUR White House -- the one which belongs to the American people -- needs to be swept clean and fumigated once we sweep them out in 2008.

Does anyone think the Iranians are nuts enough to nuke Israel? They know the minute they attacked Israel Iran would look like a parking lot. Ask yourself, why would the Iranians want to lose their oil reserves, their standing and power in the Middle East, and the billions of dollars in oil revenue by bombing Israel? They wouldn't. It's the Neocons and the far right in Israel who want a nuclear war with Iran.

The Neocons' lengthy document setting out their plans for world domination (signed by the way by Jeb Bush, Rumsfeld, Cheney. William Kristol, and other well known names) is called "Project for a New American Century" (PNAC) and was written at their headquarters -- the "American Enterprise Insitute." "Neocon" isn't just a word for namecalling of a political opponent. "Neoconservatism" is a philosophy and political belief that these men want our country to follow and is THE main reason we are even in Iraq.

Here is a very short summary of the PNAC document -- a primer.

Educate yourself --

"PNAC PRIMER"


delete in first sentence - "Bolton has been"

Chris,

You find this raving convincing?

CalifChris I like the way you think.

"....Anyone...knows that...global domination thru preemptive wars... belongs to the American people...The Iranians are nuts...they attacked Israel...I...like....their oil reserves...I...want a nuclear war with Iran...Cheney....is THE ma....n."
