Neoconservatives Gather To Applaud Scooter Libby And Ponder Next Targets For Regime Change
Neoconservatives Gather To Applaud Scooter Libby And Ponder Next Targets For Regime Change
Commentary magazine, “widely regarded as the leading outlet for neoconservative writing,” held its first annual dinner this week in honor of its former editor-in-chief Norman Podhoretz. The evening got started with rousing cheers for Scooter Libby. The crowd of 300 delivered “a standing ovation” for Libby, “who was in attendance while awaiting sentencing on his felony convictions.”
Participants then proceeded to more substantive issues at hand — namely, consideration of post-Iraq regime change targets. The Christian Science Monitor writes that “Commentary advocates passionate support for Israel, and regime change in at least half a dozen countries deemed hostile to US and Israeli security and interests.” Along those lines, in the most current issue of the magazine, Norman Podhoretz argues “The Case for Bombing Iran.”
One of the evening’s keynote speakers, former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton, took Podhoretz’s claims even further. The New York Sun’s Ira Stoll writes that Bolton delivered what appeared to be his regime change hit list, with a country-by-country breakdown:
Ambassador John Bolton’s speech on why regime change, notwithstanding the problems in Iraq, “has to be something that’s in our toolbox as we go forward.” … He also supported regime change in Iraq in the immediate aftermath of the first Persian Gulf War, and in Afghanistan in the late 1990s.
Then, moving briskly to present-day examples, Mr. Bolton backed regime change in North Korea and Iran. As for Cuba, he said that “actuarial tables will take care” of it, referring to the aging Castro. Sudan, he said, was not a sufficient threat to American interests to justify a policy of regime change. Burma, he noted, recently was reported to be entering a contract with Russia for a research nuclear reactor, but “I don’t think that’s a regime that warrants regime change.” Venezuela, he said last year purchased 100,000 AK-47s. “Not yet but maybe” was Mr. Bolton’s position on regime change in Venezuela. Syria is the “hardest” case, Mr. Bolton said, seeming to think that what came after Assad there might be worse.
The failed neoconservative designs on Iraq do not appear to have quenched their desire to continue their global regime change campaign.

May 17th, 2007 at 8:45 pmPerhaps the dictionaries of the world need to be modified.
NeoCons: See Arrogance – –noun – offensive display of superiority or self-importance; overbearing pride.
May 17th, 2007 at 8:46 pmMy God, these people are actually applauding International War Crimes!
How long will it be before the rest of the world decides that regime change is needed in the U.S.?
This group is making an excellent case for pre-emptive strikes against America!
May 17th, 2007 at 8:46 pmI really don’t know what to think about this. Can’t they see their failed policy in Iraq? Can’t they see their beloved dictator falling down and hard? Do they think they are going to retain power? Are they just dreaming?
Seriously, this group is dangerous. To actually see them think they are going to make an Empire after what the world has seen from this group borders on the insane. And that is the scary part.
May 17th, 2007 at 8:49 pmWhile conservatives praise a convicted felon, you can see the results of the “Sentence Scooter Contest.”

Republican Neocons = Mafia-R-US
wow, the neo-cons have the distinct honor of providing the United States with the very first President of the World Bank to leave in disgrace and they give standing ovations to felons.
Such integrity. It makes one all weepy-eyed at the moral superiority displayed amongst the members of the Republican elite.
A shame too, all us Democrats have to crow about is a guy who lies about a blowjob in the oval office.

May 17th, 2007 at 9:26 pmThe tide having turned against this administration, these neoncons are now just a bunch of impotent old men, reminiscing about the last five years, fantasizing about what they could have accomplished, if only they’d had just a little more power. Like loyal Nazis after Hilter’s death, they’ll slink into the background, dreaming of the next Fuhrer, right up until death snuffs out their evil lives.

May 17th, 2007 at 9:54 pmApplauding a felon says a lot about neocons. Obviously they have no respect for the American laws and the American justice system that they pretend to cherish…the very system they want to export around the world. This disrespect for democracy is a fine example to set for their children who will turn out to hate America even more than their parents.
Note to neocons: You’re supposed to “boo” felons. You know, felons that commit felonies! Yeah, that kind!

May 17th, 2007 at 10:20 pmThe only silver lining in the dark cloud is that the American people now have a bad taste for war and for volunteering for the military, just like they did after Vietnam, and that bad taste will last for an entire generation.
Starting another war would require a draft and the HYPOCRITES children would have to go, since they are only for war as long as the military is all volunteer, it ain’t happening.

See, folks, this is why they wrote RICO, so they lock up whole bunches of bad guys all at one time, instead of having to put them away one at a time.
All these F”blip”king As”blip”oles – ya got them all together in the same room at the same time. You’ve proven relationship. You can now prosecute en masse. Just ask the Mafia if was effective. I don’t see any good reason to not put 40 or 50 at a time away. We don’t want Li’l Scooter to get lonely behind bars, do we?
That’s what RICO was written for. Hell, ask Rudy. He helped write it!

May 17th, 2007 at 11:10 pmThis should be no surprise. The reason these folks can so readily acknowledge the failure that is Iraq and, in the next (or for Bolton the same) breath promote regime change in [ ] is the fact that they’ve got a useful idiot — Bush.
The problem isn’t the scheme, but the execution. So they can blame Bush for the Iraq failure and simultaneously claim that the idea is sound.
May 17th, 2007 at 11:38 pmObviously, a prerequisite to become a neo-con and a member of the PNAC is to show an almost congenital inability to learn from one’s mistakes, and refusal to take responsibility for them.
What a scary gathering of sociopaths.

No, you try every day. ;)
May 18th, 2007 at 12:52 amRU, there is not need to impeach Cheney. As soon as they bring articles of impeachment against Bush they will switch VPs to whoever they want to be elected in ‘08.
May 18th, 2007 at 12:52 amJPark, that’s not the story I get from Rep Jay Inslee. He really sees no way to impeach without swinging massive public support for Bush.
May 18th, 2007 at 1:11 amI think he’s way overstating the case, but you have a good point, Ghouliani or McPain would probably get the VP and the inside track, but I’m a telling ya it’s the inside track to noWhere!
RU, I am not saying it would work but there is NO way the Republicans allow Cheney to be president. They would try to give someone an edge in the election. By the way, Jay Inslee is an a$$hole. He swung his stick forcing WA legislators to drop the grassroots impeachment movement. That guy needs to go.

May 18th, 2007 at 1:40 amBolton is the ugly American, the original all the other clones are molded from. Thank God his career is over and he fell in disgrace just like all the other neo-crazies are falling and will fall just like the nazis did before them. We must learn from history and not let humanity allow these cancerous ideologues to rise to power in any country.
May 18th, 2007 at 2:15 amBolton’s positions:
Then, moving briskly to present-day examples, Mr. Bolton backed regime change in North Korea and Iran. As for Cuba, he said that “actuarial tables will take care†of it, referring to the aging Castro. Sudan, he said, was not a sufficient threat to American interests to justify a policy of regime change. Burma, he noted, recently was reported to be entering a contract with Russia for a research nuclear reactor, but “I don’t think that’s a regime that warrants regime change.†Venezuela, he said last year purchased 100,000 AK-47s. “Not yet but maybe†was Mr. Bolton’s position on regime change in Venezuela. Syria is the “hardest†case, Mr. Bolton said, seeming to think that what came after Assad there might be worse.
Okay, who does Bolton think is going to enact this “regime change” in North Korea? China may not like Pyongyang very much, but there is almost no chance in hell that Beijing will just sit back and allow American troops to cross the 38th Parallel, and the South is highly unlikely to welcome the inevitable consequences of absorbing an extra 23 million people (it’s likely they remember the economic impact when the Federal Republic of Germany absorbed some 18 million East Germans following the *peaceful* re-unification). Japan may also worry that Kim will go crazy enough to launch his nukes the very instant his country’s attacked.
May 18th, 2007 at 3:39 amAs for Cuba, the Communists *might* be able to retain power, but I seriously doubt the Cuban people will welcome the “exiles” (especially with that community’s connection to the as-bad-as-Castro Batista regime). I also can’t see the Republicans wanting the Cubans in Miami to return to the island since they’ve been the largest pro-GOP wing of the country’s Hispanic population (though getting rid of those pesky Cubans can help the anti-immigration wing of the GOP since Cubans “fleeing” Castro can get instant political asylum while other Hispanics are deemed little more than “economic” opportunists; getting rid of the Cubans removes the illegal immigration “double standard”). On the other hand, Cuba’s leaders might choose to emulate the Chinese model and keep Cuba a Communist state while allowing for more individual private enterprise.
Sudan’s not a “sufficient threat” to US interests? Hmm. Is Sudan not the largest country in Africa in area? The country spent a quarter century engaged in a civil war between the majority Muslims in the North and the Black African Christians and animists in the South, and there’s now a major civil war between the Arab Muslims and the Black African Muslims in the country’s western section with that conflict threatening to spill over into neighboring Chad. The country’s Islamist government has hosted Islamic terrorists in the past and it’s not too hard to believe the government would sponsor other Islamist terror groups (hell, the country has been on the State Dep’t’s list of state sponsors of terror since 1993!). Maybe Mr Bolton might want to recall just how “sufficient” a threat Afghanistan was to US interests before 9/11 and rethink his position.
Burma (Myanmar) is looking to get a “research” nuclear reactor, but that doesn’t concern Bolton? I guess this just lends support to the Iranian position that the US is only acting on behalf of the Israeli lobbyists. Otherwise, why should Iran be censured for its “peaceful” nuclear program while the isolationist authoritarian military government of Myanmar be of no serious concern? By all means, let’s have yet ANOTHER South Asian country have a nuclear program which (according to our Administration officials) takes little effort to turn into a nuclear arms program. (Hasn’t that minimal effort been the Bushies reasoning for being concerned about the Iranian program?)
Venezuela? Ooooh, they bought some AK-47s. Scary. Please. Until Chavez became the Venezuelan president, Caracas was buying US military hardware and the US didn’t seem to care (in fact, Washington was happy with the arrangement). Chavez decides he doesn’t need Washington (and with the US efforts to destabilize his gov’t, he can’t really be blamed) and does business elsewhere. But just because the Chavez gov’t isn’t liked by the neocons in Washington is no excuse to endorse “regime change”. Venezuela’s had peaceful elections, and it’s been Chavez’s opponents who lost and attempted coups against him (i.e., overturning the “will of the people”). If Washington will stop antagonizing Chavez, there’s much less reason for him to move towards dictatorship.
Rather surprisingly, in my opinion, Bolton made the only intelligent call in relation to Syria. If only the jerkwad and his neocon allies had put as much thought into a post-Saddam Iraq as he’s apparently done with a post-Assad Syria, we wouldn’t be caught in the quagmire that has developed in Iraq. Experts had warned against any serious efforts to topple Qaddafi for years simply because no one in any of the intelligence communities (not even Israel’s Mossad or the old KGB) had any idea who might succeed Qaddafi from either a peaceful change of power or a coup (”Better the devil you know” and all that).
Bolton’s picture = cartoon.

They are the J e w i s h Z i o n i s t Neo-conservatives.
May 18th, 2007 at 5:43 amProgress, folks, is about the equitable redistribution of resources, the improvement of the mass population ECONOMICALLY. It isn’t about allowing an ethnic minority, in the American case, the Z i o n i s t cabal to have unlimited power and wealth.

“Ooo yay more regime change! Maybe this time we’ll actually depose a dictator that deserves to be deposed.
That’s right, Robert Mugabe, you’re going down.”
We won’t be deposing Mugabe of power. His country doesn’t have any oil. Isn’t it ironic that the U.S. declares a “global war on terror”, yet we’ve only been hanging out in the oil rich middle east?
May 18th, 2007 at 9:35 amThese people are very scary. We need a complete and total Democratic victory so that we can stop these people and take back our country.
May 18th, 2007 at 9:40 am“The failed neoconservative designs on Iraq do not appear to have quenched their desire to continue their global regime change campaign.”
Uh, last time I checked TP, both Iraq and Afghanistan had very successful regime changes. Saddam was hung and the Taliban heads either ran like pussies or were killed. Shortly thereafter, Muammar Khadafi from Libya came very clean and Libya was taken off the terrorist nation list. Kim Jung Il, the other leg in the axis of evil stool, had come to the bargaining table and will soon reach a deal. Korea should be reunited within a very short time when the North can’t feed it’s own anymore. Syria and Iran are sweating bullets right now and there is a strong moderate movement in Iran that is rebelling against the ultra conservative regime there.
Political Science is always prone to difficulties but the isolationist, Neville Chamberlain style of TP and those on this board have never worked and only cost more lives in the long run. History proves it time and time again. You pay now or you pay a lot more later. Luckily, we have a couple of countries left that will support our foreign policies to eliminate threats before they occur. Cowards with weak stomachs try to influence world opinion that any action is bad. We need to just sit on our ass and pretend the world threats aren’t there. They even deny an islamic war being declared on America. It must really suck being on the side of Neville Chamberlain and Jane Fonda. Please read your history books so you don’t continue to make the same mistakes over again.
May 18th, 2007 at 11:20 amPutting aside the important issue of legality/illegailty of pre-emptive war and Geneva requiring an imminent threat: Where are the resources going to come from to support regieme change in Korea; and given the debacled-planning in Iraq, why believe the plans to change regiemes elsewhere are credible; and what is to stop other nations from uniting to do the same to the US?

And what makes you think the Democratic party will do anything substantively different than what Bush’s Zionist Cabal Party has been doing? The Democrats destroyed the plans of Pelosi to put a TRUE anti-war Hero in the number two spot when they dumped John Murtha. In his place we got Steny Hoyer, described on many Jewish websites as Israel’s best friend in Congress. And in case anyone had missed this little fact, most Israelis and American Zionists are ENTIRELY behind the murder of the Arabs in what was once Iraq. BTW Kissinger noted in a speech some time back that Iraq no longer exists as a country. You folks need to wake up as to whom is running the show, and the RealPolitik as it now stands.
May 18th, 2007 at 2:45 pmPut pressure on China and you will see regime change in Korea. Simply block the one-way shipment of Chinese crap as they did during the Longshoremen’s lockout, and you’ll sufficiently disturb the Chinese into putting more pressure of Korea. But the question remains one of Why? Why should ANY AMERICAN care what is happening in Korea when OUR OWN TREASURY IS BEING ROBBED BY OUR CURRENT RULING JUNTA!?
May 18th, 2007 at 2:48 pmWhat the hell kind of damage is Venezuela going to do with 100,000 AKMs? When most countries buy small arms, it doesn’t end up in the press or as a talking point. Once again, they’re after the oil.
May 18th, 2007 at 5:54 pmWow!!!! I knew I was right, but I didn’t think it would be announced this quickly……
Just in: N.Korea ready to sign denuclearization treaty and US to officially end Korean War.
My comments on #91 seem pretty clairvoyant.

I’ll have a nice weekend knowing I nailed it. Let’s see how the libs spin this into negative news somehow. When US Policy is given time to work, it’s amazing what can happen. Another positive result of great US Policy for regime change in Iraq. Keep up the great work Condoleeza! Iran regime change is next.
