‘building up a military and never using it is wasted freedom.’

Ohh….now I get it; you’re just insanely stupid.

‘carter signed a peace accord that never worked and led to more violence. using our weaponry promotes structure and order and discipline.’

Riiighhhht…..that worked out great in Vietnam and Iraq.

War is peace; another great GOP strategy.

The boldest, smartest, awesomest, most excellentest Administration (sic) ever “did not prepare adequately for this potential revolutionary moment”? I thought they knew everything about past, present, future — and everything else! I thought they were the reality creators! I’m shocked, shocked!

So, Obama needs to be aggressively prudent. I think he is already there, for the most part, when it comes to foreign affairs as far as I can tell.

I guess Bolton just wants Obama to be more like Reagan.

You know, ship them some missiles.

from a man who wanted Obama to launch “meaningful efforts at regime change” just a few months ago…..

Was the use of “to launch” (as could be said of missles) some sort of Freudian slip ?

If Bolton wants to attack Iran then he should pick up a rifle and get his butt over there. And after they capture him, I hope they waterboard him 180 times every month.

why why why do these people still have jobs. Why are they all over the airwaves. Why why why? They have no credibility. A 5yo can google their history and discredit everything they say.

What these armchair generals like Bolton and Cheney don’t ever admit is our misadventure in Iraq made Iran into the super-regional power they are today. There is a direct correlation. Before we invaded and occupied Iraq, Iran was under pressure from within and an obscure minor player in international affairs. Invading Iraq let the Shi’ite genie out of the bottle. They quickly took advantage of their position both regionally and beyond. Europe, Russia and China quickly became key trading partners as they seeked an alternative to Iraq’s oil supplies. They armed the insurgents and created a web of influence that now stretches from Afghanistan to Dubai. We spent billions of dollars and gallons of blood to remove Saddam because he supposedly had contacts with terror networks and was seeking WMD’s. Meanwhile, Iran has a thirty year history of exporting terror and was well on their way to building a nuclear bomb. I would love to hear Bolton or any of the other neocon hawks address their complicity in creating the current situation in Iran. I won’t however hold my breath.

“I I doubt the neocons will ever go fully extinct but at least they are now rightfully relegated to the short bus where they belong. Now we just have to find a way to keep them off of the “librul” airwaves.”

Quite the opposite is true. The more media coverage that Bolton and the rest of the neocons are given, the more they make fools of themselves. It is good for the public to see their statements because they are the best ad for voting Dem.

We have to ask ourselves during this crisis in Iran: What have we learned from the Iranians?

“He very, very smart.”

I don’t know about that. An intelligent person is not wrong 100% of the time. A smart person doesn’t devolve into the inane blather that falls from this neocon’s mouth like a rabid dog when his foreign policy ideas are questioned. Bolton is just another “Right Wing Intellect” in the mold of Cheney, Gingrich and Krauthammer. They use big words and age-old rhetoric to try to sell their special brand of bullshit to college educated Republicans, corporate heads and the media. They are the elitists that they warn you about (projection). They WERE however very good at shoving their BS down America’s throat for decades. Now we live in the world of teh internets. Their lies are quickly and easily disproven and their hypocracies are just as rapidly shown. As the populace of Iran is experiencing and acting on a desire for change, and we see that the large majority of it’s citizens are of a younger generation hoping for freedoms and a promising future, so we saw a younger generation with a huge stake in the future of America step up and be heard this last November. The citizens of both nations are internet savvy and are much less apt to fall for the lies and fearmongering that their leaders have relied upon for far too long. Every lie these @ssholes utter is immediately available to be digested and shat back at them.

If Bolton was an idiot I could forgive him somewhat. But he’s not. He very, very smart. And a sociopath also, unfortunately.

I’m getting a bit annoyed with the Republican response to the Iranian election since we all know how they would have reacted if Americans took to the streets in mass numbers in 2000 or 2004 in response to Bush stealing the elections.
All we have to do is see what happened at the RNC convention last year.

“There was a documentary on National Geographic last night “Iran and the West” – I’m sure it will be on again. If you watch that you will see how Bolton pretty much single-handedly wrecked an agreement the Europeans had worked on with Iran…”

Muzz, do a little research and you will find former vice president Cheney’s daughter’s dirty finger prints all over this, right next to Bolton’s.

“In April 2006, The New York Times published a story critical of Cheney’s work, particularly with respect to Iran. Of particular scrutiny was a grants program administered by Elizabeth Cheney’s unit, in collaboration with a Republican-affiliated foundation, the International Republican Institute.[17] The Times maintained that when the group became controversial, with critics saying that it was plotting covert actions that could escalate into war with Iran and Syria…”

I know, it’s wikipedia but I was in a hurry. I’m sure their are plenty of other references for this:
