I wish the republicans had the sense and b@lls to make Bolton their presidential candidate. I would vote for him. He would be a GREAT President! Probably even better than President Reagan.

He would certainly be the right man at the right time…..

The sheer scope of the simultaneous pants wetting in Tehran would be stunning.

Statesmen with backbone like him are in very short supply these days.

A pity the current admin is so “et up with” trying to appease the euro-weenies. I suspect within a decade our troops will be liberating their a$$es again. From their islamist overlords.

After Iraq, the fear of being separated from the Europeans was too great to overcome, even within an administration of supposed unilateralist cowboys.

Hmmm…I think that’s the real quote of the day.

Sadly, this type of man or women will have no place in visible positions in the near future of this country. Republicans are trying to out metro-sexual each other to get elected and the Dems are pandering to the far Left, so back to the war chest with him.

Oh and notice the one lefty customer review. That jackass has probably never read a book since “Green Eggs and Ham” And that was last week.

The so-called reviewer gave
Cry [IMPORT] Simple Minds 4.5 stars . Tearfully never heard of-em. : )

P.S. Vent to promote his book?

I always thought the art of diplomacy was saying nice doggy, while looking around for a big rock. But I do like your version better and your right… that is Bolton.

*sarcasm off*

Yeah, I noticed that too. According to the info page for the book, it’s not due to hit the shelves until the 6th of next month, so that review is almost certainly bogus. Of course there are advance copies, but it truly doubt that “reviewer” ever had his hands on one.

Have you read it Bryan? If so, what did you think?

Just like MoveOn.org libeling General Pertaeus before he even had a chance to testify/speak. They shut down or shout down opposition speaches and assemblies, and now they are condemning and criticizing before people can even talk. And they accuse us of bing Nazis and tyrants!?

What’s funny about Bolton is that he looks brash and he is but he’s brash in a good way, and he’s on our side. Anybody that thinks the U.N. is useless automatically has my admiration, so for Bolten, it’s admiration times ten.

I’m reading it now. It’s unfiltered Bolton.

I left a nice comment for him.

I hope we haven’t seen the last of John Bolton; our country still needs him.

He [Bolton] believed that Tehran used the talks only to build up its nuclear capability. The administration was also openly skeptical, so he says he was shocked to learn that Powell, at a Sept. 22, 2004, dinner with “Group of Eight” foreign ministers, agreed that Iran should be given a package of “carrots.”…

“Powell had violated our long-standing Iran policy, colluded with the EU-3 against it and come out nearly endorsing [Sen. John F.] Kerry’s position only weeks before our election,” Bolton writes. “Along with others, I had foiled Powell’s legacy gambit. I knew it, and he knew I knew it.”

But then to Bolton’s shock, Rice adopted the same approach when she became secretary. He says he began thinking of leaving the administration when Rice gave him the news over dinner in 2006. A depressed Bolton pointedly ordered carrot soup with the meal.

Wish I’d been there to see that.

Here’s looking forward to a little angst.

Thank you, Mr. Bolton, for your service for our nation.

I hope you guys have a great weekend, you’ve certainly kept me reading some great posts all day. Cheers!
