Bolton’s statement that whether or not you want to attack Iran speaks to your tolerance for them having nuclear weapons is an ad hominem attack on those that feel there are other approaches.

A neocon complaining about an ad hominen attack and for not addressing the mertis of an argument? For real? Personal attacks are what neocons and Republicans specialize in because the facts are usually not in their favor.

They are conditioning us for 7 – 10 dollars a gallon gasoline and telling us 4 a gallon ” will be the good ole days ” AND IF THEY know IT WILL HAPPEN , YOU KNOW WHO’S BEHIND IT !

Further, another story was reported in the same month that took place in Baghdad when an Iraqi driver had his license and car confiscated at a checkpoint, after which he was instructed “to report to an American military camp near Baghdad airport for interrogation and in order to retrieve his license.” After being questioned for a short while, he was told to drive his car to an Iraqi police station, where his license had been forwarded, and that he should go quickly. “The driver did leave in a hurry, but was soon alarmed with a feeling that his car was driving as if carrying a heavy load, and he also became suspicious of a low flying helicopter that kept hovering overhead, as if trailing him. He stopped the car and inspected it carefully. He found nearly 100 kilograms of explosives hidden in the back seat and along the two back doors. The only feasible explanation for this incident is that the car was indeed booby trapped by the Americans and intended for the al-Khadimiya Shiite district of Baghdad. The helicopter was monitoring his movement and witnessing the anticipated ‘hideous attack by foreign elements.”[17]

On October 4, 2005, it was reported by the Sydney Morning Herald that, “The FBI’s counterterrorism unit has launched a broad investigation of US-based theft rings after discovering some vehicles used in deadly car bombings in Iraq, including attacks that killed US troops and Iraqi civilians, were probably stolen in the United States, according to senior US Government officials.” Further, “The inquiry began after coalition troops raided a Falluja bomb factory last November and found a Texas-registered four-wheel-drive being prepared for a bombing mission. Investigators said there were several other cases where vehicles evidently stolen in the US wound up in Syria or other Middle Eastern countries and ultimately in the hands of Iraqi insurgent groups, including al-Qaeda in Iraq.

Since ad hominem means ‘to the person’, and since Bolton isn’t human, it ain’t no ad hominem attack.

Don’t know about this ad hominem but this lunatic has no credibility whatsoever. Don’t know how he doesn’t choke on the word. Will someone please tell him to shut up? We’re not listening. The people out here in the real world, 75% of Americans,it seems, and probably the rest of the planet know this jerk has no credibility. But then again, he was on Focks notnews so credibility doesn’t come into it. And everybody knows that, too.

A sad attempt at humor.

A good riposte would have been: “And hominy troops did your administration associates say would be sufficient to occupy Iraq?

I can’t find a working link, but, The News Hour reported Bolt-on said the deal with N. Korea is, “the final sign of the collapse of Bush’s foreign policy”. Isn’t it perfectly in character that a relatively successful diplomatic effort is viewed as a sign of “collapse”. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it often.

These bastards aren’t even human.

This is the horror Bolt-on wishes for Iran. Then Syria. Then?

Bolton was upset because they took the worst lies out of Powell’s UN speech?! Everything left in his speech was a bad known lie at the time it was said—not “found to be untrue later”. It was almost entirely from Curveball and ‘60 Minutes’ showed that it was proven false before Powell’s speech. Remember, there were 935 recorded lies taking us into this fiasco.

Conservatives get mad when an interviewer doesn’t allow them to say any kind of BS—like they normally do.

AIPAC, Likud, Israel, Lockheed, Northrup, Haliburton, GE, and Exxon Mobil are commanding Bolton, Bush, Pelosi, Reid, Feinstein, Cheney, Lieberman, Chertoff, and the rest of the NeoCons to do their bidding. Many of them are dual citizens, and have their allegiance not to America, but to Israel. Hillary and Obama to a lesser extent, but Obama has Archer Daniels Midland, The Exxon of corn, putting big bucks behind him.
