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.

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.

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.

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?

With Boltonstache, my right arm has this urge to tense, straighten, and shoot upward for some reason while I shout something in German.

And I don’t even know German except for…

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.
As 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).
