Bolton Not Swayed in the Slightest by the NIE on Iran
By Bill W. Monday Dec 03, 2007 9:19pm
On CNN this Tues, Yosemite Sam John Bolton, who previously has claimed that the threat from Iran's nuclear program is “Just like Sept. 11, only with nuclear weapons this time" and that he "absolutely" hopes that the Bush administration will bomb Iran in the coming months, insists his opinions remain unchanged following Monday's release of the National Intelligence Estimate on Iran. Blitzer tries to pin him down, but Bolton continues spinning every which way he can think of to downplay its findings throughout the entire interview.

Here's just a snippet of the bamboozlement:
Bolton: Well, I think it's potentially wrong, but I would also say, many of the people who wrote this are former State Dept employees who during their career at the State Dept never gave much attention to the threat of the Iranian program. Now they are writing as (fingers quote) 'members of the intelligence community' the same opinions that they've had four and five years ago.
Blitzer: President Bush says he has confidence in this new NIE. He says they revamped the intelligence community after the blunders involving the weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. He says there's a whole new community out there and he has total confidence in what the National Intelligence Director is doing.
Bolton: Well, I don't ...
This is the same guy who claims he tried to get an Iranian diplomat fired after he delivered an offer of peace and reconciliation with the US from the highest levels of the more moderate (pre-Ahmadinejad) Iranian government back in 2003 (when we now learn they stopped their nuclear weapons program) following their cooperation in the war on al Qaeda and the Taliban in Afghanistan. Does anyone really think there's anything, and I mean anything, that the NIE could have said or for that matter, anything that Iran could possibly have done that could curb John Bolton's priaprism to drop bombs on them?

"Oooooh, Iran- ya better say yer prayers, ya flea-bitten varmint, I'm a-gonna blow ya to smithereenies!"
That guy is a certifiable wacko.
Hempkin at large!
He's incompetent, irrelevant, and out of touch with reality, and therefore certain to be promoted.
In a slightly more just world a man like John Bolton would be in the docket at The Hague.
Of course, like all the NeoCons, he's utterly delusional, and his "I've made up my mind, don't confuse me with the facts" attitude would be amusing if it wasn't so dangerous.
- fingers quote - With all due respect - close fingers quote - did Bolton contract syphillis at Plato's Retreat and never had it treated by a physician? Because frankly, he sounds insane, as if perhaps his mind were ravaged by disease.
I will say this... it seems clear that Bolton and his "Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight" ilk are pissed off, and the timing of this NIE report could very well be an attempt by the intelligence agencies to undercut their Strangelovian rush to war.
A number of reports have leaked out over the past year that have looked like salvos in an information war between the NeoCons and the CIA.
Phew. For a minute there I wasn't sure Captain Kangaragnarok would be able to out-crazy everyone else on this, but if there's one man you can count on to out-crazy, you can count on Cap Bolton.
this guy getting up there and defending the admin 's bullshit is funny...it can't'be anything else..but funny......it's so far outside the realm of reality........all you can do is laugh.
Ah yes ... John Bolton at his most "little geek boy on the playground pummeling with clenched fists anyone stupid enough to stand still." Of course, he's only a hero in his adolescent fantasies.
I'm really, really tired of middle-aged 13-year-olds. And there are *plenty* in this incompetent administration.
I have a feelin that the Intelligence community....has had enough.
The press: "Mr. Pres, no one can find any nukes that are being made by BUGS BUNNY".
Bush: "But still I think he COULD START making them any second now."
You don't have confidence in your own intelligence? Then it's the commanders fault. I believe his name is GW Bush. Get in touch with him.
"Bolton Not Swayed in the Slightest by the NIE on Iran"
A War Crimes Tribunal ought to clear that right up!
IMPEACH the treasonous war criminal bush cabal PNAC Carlyle funded war mongering and war profiteering cronies for their crimes!
wisedup @ 11:
shhhhhh!...be bewwwy quiet.......weeez huntin nukular weapons of mind deswtactuion.
bolton's our face to the un and the cheap bastard can't even drop by the mall and buy himself some decent mustache dye.
kind of a nut bar, huh?
"Blessed are the war makers, for they shall find a lasting home in my abode" - Satan
I'm sooo sick of these lying pricks.
Maybe we should water board the truth out of Bolton and Rove and all the rest of these sick fucks.Taser 'em.
lewisnclark @ 4:
And on the news tonight Bush is still saber ratteling with Iran saying they still are a threat.
I have to say though, the neo-cons are starting to loose their influence. More independent groups are coming out of the woodwork to challenge their claims. But the neo-cons, being who they are, will continue to be in total denial even as their ship sinks.
Of course the neoCons are going to try to spin this. They're salivating over another war.
I loved the headline that Bush still thinks Iran is dangerous despite the reports; I still think Bush is an idiot despite the reports.
Why do we even bother with spending our taxes on intelligence agencies? (at least during republic administrations) Apparently a bunch of Texas oilmen and women and their associates are better informed, armatures that they are, than the experts. Just curious, is there anything a neo-conman isn't an expert on?
PFFFFfffffff..... These are neo-cons for you.
They want to bomb the shit out of every Middle Eastern country regardless of the evidence.
Yikes! Is that guy with the facial fungus still around?
I wonder what he is hiding under that facial adornment.
Could it be the number 666?
he too is a criminal.
why is it that the neo-cons always see conspiracies against them everywhere?
of course its rather ironic that they themselves are a conspiracy, but thats another story.
Chris from Maine @ 25:
My guess would be because 80% of the country are out to remove them from power permanently. They may not be right about much, but they are right that the American people are out to get them.
What a pathetic little man. And to think he was our UN ambassador! History will look back on the past seven years as a truly dark era in our nation.
id love to crap in his moustache!!!!!!!!!!!!
Damn the NIE report on Iran. Full steam ahead!
Admiral John "Farragut" Bolton
I am not swayed in the slightest by what Pinocchio's "grandpa" says.
Priaprism? How long have you waited to drop that word in a sentence? And what does it mean?
Bolton, like the whole, rotten crew to whom he pledges allegiance, is a war lover (that is, so long as he's not the one being shot at). An American fascist, a vile swine of a man, an abortion of humanity.
And congressional democrats do NOTHING to stop them. Or as good as nothing. Their sins of omission transcend the administration's war crimes, because they profess to know better. My contempt for both parties is total.
Straight Shooter @ 5:
Cheney's had brain damage from all of his heart problems. Bush has Korsikoff's(sp?) syndrome. Ted Haggard, the White House "spiritual advisor" is a crankhead. So maybe it's possible that Bolton's brain is being ravaged by a STD. Restoring morality to the office of the president, one nutcase at a time.

Instead of bombs, how about if we just drop John Bolton on them. That oughta scare them sh*tless.
how I wish people would invite Bolton on t.v. with a grapefruit on a plate between them only to "do a Cagney" on him as soon as he starts talking like that.
same with Bill Kristol...
and a lot of others, come to think of it.
I HATE John Bolton - he's a goofy arrogant lying con scumbag.

Several things, actually. The Constitution, legitimacy, logic, truth and compassion to name a few.
Paul @ 17:
and ye shall know them by their actions.
Boltons perspective sounds very reasonable. Don't you think there any room for a critical assessment of this report?
Just like Yosemite Sam, Bolton will not stop in his pursuit of them dagburned varmints. Must be 'cause they stole his oil by living on top of it for thousands of years.
i hope people will note the sheer nonsense being spoken by these Busheviks and hold them to their proper ridicule.
they look like Hollywood film caracitures of doctrinaire Communists from the 1950's.
Look, I admit I was skeptical at first but then I realized that Iran is full of brown people and that they are not christians! If we're going to bomb the shit out of these people it is imperative we do it before they have nucular weapons cause then we'd have to be their friend.
John Bolton: dumb as a box of rocks.
Some months back, I saw Bolten on The Daily Show say that Abraham Lincoln did not listen to dissenting views and other statements about Lincoln's cabinet. The next night, Stewart had an expert on Lincoln who has written one of the preeminent books on Lincoln and his cabinet. She tore to pieces everything Bolten had said the night before. I lost a lot of respect for him after this. It was hard to believe that someone who speaks so suredly as he had and in his position could be so wrong (not that hard to believe). I no longer trust anything he has to say, which is not to say that everything he says is wrong. Only that HIS saying it carries no weight with me as it should not with you. Maybe C&L could find this archive and put it up alongside Yosemite Sam's statements on CNN today.
Can you imagine *being* your average Iranian in Iran listening to the US politicians debate whether to bomb your country - with the continuing bloodshed in Iraq as an everpresent reminder of what American air power can do to a country?
Bush & Cheney & Bolton's sabre rattling IS terrorism .. international terrorism.
State-sponsored terrorism.
And "we" are IT.
You know...he does look like Yosemite Sam. I never f'ing noticed that. I suck. (posted at skewz.com)
What we have here is an amazing effort to make the raw facts fit the conclusion.

John Stewart vs John Bolton
Stewart vs Bolton PostGame Analysis
Bolton is a certified nut. A serious wackjob. The words that come out of his mouth are just a step or two removed from the lunatic on the corner that you give a wide berth.
Seriously. Why are these radical, fringe zealots like Bolton continuously sought out as if they are experts on foreign policy? I understand why FOX does it, they are the network of radical fringe zealots. But CNN?
Bolton, Kristol, Goldberg, Krauthammer, Boot and just about every other ultra-conservative, foreign policy pundit have been WRONG about everything. And in being wrong about everything, they've made things far worse for the sane people to sort out.
John Bolton should offer to stand under the first bomb; if Iran is such a threat to world peace then surely John would not mind giving his life to persuade others of the threat.
Holy crap, it's Crimestop in action. What part of 1984 *haven't* these asshats made reality?
"The mind should develop a blind spot whenever a dangerous thought presented itself. The process should be automatic, instinctive. Crimestop, they called it in Newspeak.
He set to work to exercise himself in crimestop. He presented himself with propositions -- 'the Party says the earth is flat', 'the party says that ice is heavier than water' -- and trained himself in not seeing or not understanding the arguments that contradicted them."
Bolton is an invaluable resource for those interested in the opinions of the paranoid unemployed.
Why do all these neocon nutjobs look so batshit crazy? Seriously! They all have that look
of the empty psychopath about them. They are some creepy mofo's!
"...and that's one of the reasons Iranian credibility is so much in question." - Bolton
I had to stop the video at this point when my irony meter red-lined.
chopper @ 54:
no kidding... giving these nutbar sociopaths access to the MSM only legitimizes their insane ideas and makes things worse for everyone... that bitter freak was supposed to have been a"diplomat" and every word that i've ever heard come out of his mouth has been the antithesis of diplomacy...
if i ever see this cocksucker on the street, im gonna knee him hard right in the nads
ok....you can now delete this post, i got it out of my system
"John Bolton should offer to stand under the first bomb; if Iran is such a threat to world peace then surely John would not mind giving his life to persuade others of the threat."
You sound like the perfect human shield for the jihadi scum - if you think they are so peaceful why don't you go over there and stand with them!
It's never too late:
CHENEY AND BOLTON 2008!
Does Bolton make any good points?
Bolton PNACcio's nose is growing in lenght ------>
Yeah. Bolton is really concerned about Iranian nukes
Bolton wanted Iran to kick out Arms Inspectors, he tells AIPAC (audio track as well as text)

TimeForNewLeadership @ 63:
No, unless you have a problem with the U.S. bowing to Sharia, Putin and the UN...
As Arthur Silber and Chris Floyd – and before them historian Barbara Tuchman – have pointed out many times intelligence estimates are fundamentally irrelevant in the march to war. To imagine the relevance of the NIE to decision-making about war is to imagine that rational thought and the careful weighing of important information enters into the process. There is more than enough evidence that such decisions are based entirely on emotional instability and ‘facts’ are used only as support to rationalize decisions already made in that emotional turmoil. And generally, with the help of a bankrupted press, we believe it all. If the ‘facts’ get in the way of those rationalizations, well, then we change the facts or the rationalizations, or both. There is, after all, a never-ending supply. The press dutifully types out this lapel pin emotional drivel and the public eats the indigestible crap right up.
I think Silber and Floyd are absolutely right on this one. The NIE is hardly a deal-breaker on this or any other road to war. Nor is a Democratic Congress. While it’s important to continue exposing the lies of Bush, Cheney, Wolfowitz, Bolton, Podhoretz, etc etc etc, it hardly constitutes resistance. And speaking of resistance, whatever happened about that proposed General Strike set for September 11, or October 19 or November 6? I sense that the level of despair, anger and frustration have not yet reached the point where resistance will coalesce. Maybe in the lead-up to the next war.
The evidence for the weapons programme that Iran supposedly “halted in 2003” consists of a document, freely available on the internet, that was discovered lying in full view on a desk during one of the 2000-odd IAEA inspections since 2001 and minute traces of weapons grade material in a centrifuge Iran had bought from Pakistan. So even this current disclosure by the NIE contains a measure of bullshit. There never was a programme. Bolton knows this.
What does the whole nightmarish scenario of pre-emptive attacks on sovereign, non-threatening nations for fictitious reasons with the accompanying slaughter of innocents tell us about the U.S. and Israel?
The reasons given for these dreadful crimes have all disappeared into thin air.
No weapons of mass destruction.
Saddam offered to go into exile .
Iran is not a threat.
The oil ain’t worth the cost of the war.
The threat of terrorism is not diminished and, in any case seems to emanate mostly from Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, or at least it’s adherents do.
How “expert” does one have to be before one allows for the possibility that the current U.S. regime, stacked as it is with “Israel firsters”, is bent on degrading any M.E. State that matures into a serious counter to Israel’s expansionist ambitions as outlined by Sharon’s buddy Oded Yinon in the 1980s?
"In 1982, Oded Yinon, a senior advisor at the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs and a journalist, articulated the Zionist plan to Balkanize the Middle East by breaking up the Arab states of Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Saudi Arabia and the Gulf States.
“The dissolution of Syria and Iraq later on into ethnically or religiously unique areas such as in Lebanon, is Israel’s primary target on the Eastern front in the long run, while the dissolution of the military power of those states serves as the primary short-term target,” Yinon wrote."
We have to stay the course of stupidity and we won't back down until the job is done.
How this white trash asswipe still gets air time is really lame.
Nikolai @ 44:
No.
P.S. If Bolton sounds 'very reasonable' to you, I strongly recommend that you seek professional help.
For those of you who have even the slightest doubt that Bolton and the rest of the corrupt corporatists are anything less than evil, please view the following http://www.bushflash.com/pl_hi.html
Gosh, I'm so bowled over with shock that John "got milk?" Bolton would be unwavering in the face of things like "intelligence", or even "truth".
It always makes me want to post this link.
Is anyone surprised this fascist pig still proclaims nothing has changed, even though there is concrete evidence that the criminal administration is totally wrong about Iran and their "nukyular weapons program"? God no!!
These bastards lie straight face, and that's the number one requirement for being a neocon fascist pig in this government of ours. They can make all sorts of asinine statements that contradict any sense of truth. They just do it. They do it over and over and over again..and the dumb ass media lets them get away with it.
It's a shame this disgraced pig is even allowed on television. He corrupts the brain dead minds of this administration's sheep. They believe whatever they want to hear, and he certainly tells them what they want to hear.
I have zero respect for this worthless piece of shit. I'm so glad he no longer embarrasses our country by being our representative to the UN, no matter how inept the UN might be. He is a total disgrace.
"My bisquits are burning, my bisquits are burning!"
You tell 'em Filthy McMoustache. What an angry murderous prick. We need to understand that psychotics like Bolton need to be institutionalized. I think the Haag is a good start.
Bolton missed his time and place. My God, what a great Nazi he would have been! Jaw dropping awsome propagandist! Slime with facial hair.
A couple days ago, right after the NIE was made public, I wrote a lengthy email to a couple acquaintances, inside the beltway, and who cover the intelligence community, and the State Department. Neither would share much about the NIE with me. I would like to gain their trust, so I will only share a little of what I did learn.
The information contained in the NIE, was reported long ago, not just a few days ago, like some are suggesting. If anyone is curious, go back and look at the NIE released just prior to Powell's speech before the UN. In the Iraq NIE, the WH thought they had the Plame situation contained. However, her network appears to have been mainly focused on Iran's nuclear weapons programs. So, it is highly probably that both NIE reports would have contained her analytical assessments.
There were several reporters who questioned the conclusions the WH was drawing from the first NIE. They wrote several articles about it. Unfortunately, these usually ran on the back pages, where the reader was led to infer they were not as important as those on page one, where the stories supporting the WH case for war were. This is how the media was able to sell the need for war, when they really had the case for not going to war.
I wrote an op-ed piece about who would be the individuals who would continue to sacrifice lives to promote their political agenda. Bolton has walked right into the spider's web. He is dangling there like a marionette, without a master. This person has no redeeming values to society. He needs to be 'flicked' into the toilet and flushed.
Once gain I ask.... And he is being inteviewed why exactly?
Bolton is a pimple on the ass of humanity.
is he dizzy yet?
Wolf starts the whole thing by incorrectly representing Bolton's previous title. John Bolton was NEVER the US Ambassador to the UN. That position requires the approval of the Senate of the US. John Bolton was the US Representative to the UN under recess appointment. He then goes on to call him Mr. Ambassador, a title that is reserved for sitting ambassadors. There are few titles that carry on after the person loses the position, and none that I know of that are given to people who never had the position to start with. Sorry for being a stickler for the facts.
Bolton starts his mentally handicapped tirade by trying to confuse people who aren't educated enough to know that there are different kinds of uranium enrichment. He attacks the NIE authors for correctly drawing the distinction between fuel grade enrichment and weapons grade enrichment. Something that is akin to trying to confuse people that a lump of coal really is a diamond. He makes it seem like Iran can just take a pot of fuel grade uranium off the shelf and plug it into a bomb, and viola they have nuclear weapons. This guy isn't that stupid, he is intentionally lying to you. He is misleading you. He is again trying to scare people into war with deceptions and fabrications.
Then Wolf tries to lead him down the path that the administration and the press have agreed to. The administration will lie to you and tell you this information about the suspension of weapons programs FOUR YEARS ago is NEW information to 16 agencies that just learned about it last week. The press agrees not to point out how completely moronic that is and won't pursue the line of questioning that would make it clear to a 5 year old that these fuckers have been lying to you about Iran for at least 2 years, and most likely for 4 years.
So Wolf tries to lead him by the hand down the agreed to path of deception, but Bolton isn't done with his outrageous lies yet. He uses the lies that cheney and bush have been spewing for the last 4 years to justify disbelieving the facts! THAT takes balls, my friend. "I don't believe the truth NOW because we have been covering up the truth for 4 years, so how can you be sure what you are hearing now is real?" That is fucking masterful. So twisted and convoluted that Machiavelli himself would be envious.
Then he points to the fact that two agencies have dissented (doesn't point out those are military agencies that are required to follow the orders of the president) and that the NIE is only "moderately confident" in these findings. Never mind this is wording Cheney put into the report. Never mind that Cheney has been refusing to allow this report to be published for over a year until he could revised it so there are legal loopholes available to him and the president.
This is the best part, he then says "THEY got Iraq wrong and now THEY are overcompensating". WOW! WHO got Iraq wrong? I guess it wasn't the "Under Secretary for Arms Control and International Security" that got it wrong. NO, that guy never got anything wrong. It was his job to keep track of WMD in every country and HE intentionally lied about them. We, you and me, paid this sack of shit to lie us into a war.
When the day of reckoning comes, this unflushed turd needs to be wearing a Saddam neck tie next to chimpy and darth.

Actually that's not a mustache. Look closely and you'll see.
It's a peace dove clenched between his teeth.
God he has the most annoying high little prissy boy voice. It hurts my brain! Not to mention he looks like a complete idiot, oh wait he is.
Shouldn't he just be giving mustache rides, 'round about now?
Varmint...
Oh, and two more words:
Plato's Retreat...
I think i would put Bolton in about the 8th or 9th row in cargo class on the rendition flight to The Hague ;)
anyone know how wide Boltens stance is in airport restrooms :)
I realize that the sentiment has probably already been expressed, perhaps several times in the comments but, why does anyone care WTF this particular dipshit has to say? One more time?
Oh yeah, I remember, the "talking snake"... My bad!
"Yosemite Sam" -- what a hoot! ROFL.
Could we just get this guy back under his rock? Hand back the club, and the animal skin, so he can get back to the type of work he seems more suitable for? "Me see-um food. Me go hit. Me eat."
Sheesh on having this guy *anywhere* in *any* nation's government.
Bolton: Well, I think it’s potentially wrong, but I would also say, many of the people who wrote this are former State Dept employees who during their career at the State Dept never gave much attention to the threat of the Iranian program. Now they are writing as (fingers quote) ‘members of the intelligence community’ the same opinions that they’ve had four and five years ago.
You mean, Mr. (finger quote) Ambassador, the same opinions they had that proved to be (finger quote) "right" on Iraq??
Oh, yeah...(finger quote)"those".
Exxon CEO gets his cut from successfully price-gouging the public.
There's no surer way to reassure the public about the NIE report than to have Bolton (and Bush) unmoved from their Iran position despite the findings in it.
So they clearly intend to go ahead based on their former bullshit talking points on Iran.
God help us if the media doesn't - because we're going to need it. This is a real test for America.
I'm so afraid we're going to flunk it.

With Bolton, the only thing missing is the cuckoo bird going in and out of a small door in the middle of his forehead.
Certifiable indeed. The whole lot of them.
On sunday we'll get to see Kristol spin this so intensely that his head will pop off and launch itself into space. They'll have to carry his torso off stage because of the convoluted pretzel-like twinings of his arms and legs.

Anyone else notice he referred to Iraq as the 'last war'? Yikes.
" Does anyone really think there’s anything, and I mean anything, that the NIE could have said or for that matter, anything that Iran could possibly have done that could curb John Bolton’s priaprism to drop bombs on them?"
Yes, the Iranian gov't could embrace Christianity and sign an agreement that they would not contest US seizure of Caspian sea oil.
Oh, and fight on our side in the war with Russia and China that such a seizure will entail.
And let the US air force use Iranian airspace. In fact, what's with this name Iran, anyhow? Maybe they can change the name to something more Western. How about Irance?
JustSickOfIt @ 81:
great post... i'll vote for including gonzales, rice, rumsfeld, wolfowitz and rove for those neck ties... after a fair and prolonged trial where we can publicly watch them learn to develop humility...

I don't think Bolton is the longest pole in the tent, if you know what I mean.
Bolton's baleen doesn't do much to filter his insanity.
Ah Bolton, and to think so many americans think like him as all this shit is still going on.
can we get the rest of the neocons to grow such ridiculous facial hair? then we can immediately separate them from the rest of the population
Their own little world.
And this guy is your UN ambassador?
LOL
Ok BushCo got the Iraq NIE wrong.... why do we think " they" got this one right?????
I couldn't pay any attention to what he was saying because I just kept focusing on that stupid looking white moustache
He looks like one of those aliens from the bar scene in "Star Wars".
I think if MSM showed this John Bolton in a news story each day from now to the election, we can be assured a democrat will be in the white house.
Frigging Panama Jack whacko! We should dump him and all the neo-cons in Sadr City in the middle of the night. Could make it a pay-per-view extravaganza!
I'm not gonig to call him a neo con.. but some of his facts are simply wrong. But I think I remember this guy from the daily show as a guest.
the bleach Bolton uses on his cookie duster has given him the vapors............
John Bolton is mentally ill. Why does CNN showcase his mental illness as foreign policy expertise?
Pawsie @ 108:
NeoCon is too liberal a term for folks like him.
You don't remember his early work in Iraq, greasing the wheels for fraud and waste?
He's a professional political whore.
I really wish this guy would consider shaving off his dick duster.
Meh.
Bolton is no longer relevant.
to paraphrase colbert...
i like this man... he's consistant... he says the same thing on Wednesday as he said last Monday without any regard to what happened on Tuesday
I GUESS WHEN YOU HAVE YOUR HEAD UP YOUR ASS, IT ALL LOOKS THE SAME
Bolton is still a jackass? Oh my.... so what's new?
mudshark @ 10:
The intelligence community is using a pre-meditated strike. The intelligence community got thrown under the bus for "inaccurate intelligence" when there were no WMDs, which they TOLD the President didn't exist, they also advised against the war due to the potential to cause civil war and splinter the country...both of which occurred.
They are attempting to stop the war in Iran and also cover their ass in case it does happen and goes badly as Iraq did.
chopper @ 110:
For every one of us ridiculing Bolton's assertions, I wonder how many are watching the same interview and saying, "right on, John, you tell 'em!"
Facts be damned, Bolton is an articulate advocate for the neocon agenda and he gets his points out to the faithful, which is the mission of CNN and the rest of the corporate media.
Where does Bolton get his money these days? Who'se payroll is he on?
God knows, Pammy Geller at Atlas Shrugs would pay him for just about anything, but who else is willing to fund this mealy mouthed hack?
This guy is the biggest moron in the world. He already has Iraqi blood on his hands now he wants Iranian's also. He is a f**king RACIST>
Send the Angry Walrus to The Hague.
'Weaseldog @ # 111'
" He is a professional political whore."
It appears so after one reads Bolton's resume .
A professional political whore and a professional lobbyist.
Therefore his opinion is tainted and meaningless.
It would be interesting to see which organization , or groups of organizations pays him the most.
ALL of these NeoCONS are sick f*cks! So so so sick. Does this country have enough mental health professionals to treat them all?
"The intelligence report before was true because we want it to be, this new one is false because we don't want it to be true"
Thats essentially Boltons stance.
okay u libs listen up! we r da united snakes er i mean united states of israel!! okay!! dis is y we need guys like bolton to spew garbage about muslim countries so we can use american blood and treasure to fight israels wars!! god forbid some 1 has da guts 2 change r israel centered 4-rain policy and we all wake up!! we need more bill kristols,joe liebermans and less sy hershs,n russ feingolds!
kindness @ 118:
AIPAC or maybe the ADL,dont know 4 sure but would like to know.....
If John Bolton were missing the top ten inches from his head, it wouldn't make any difference.
I love the way these Neo-Cons work! When the information is wrong (or concocted) and this wrong information goads us into war, it's good solid information (Ahem - Iraq, WMD's - cough). But when the information slows down the drums of war, it's bad, inaccurate or otherwise wrong. Neo-Con philosophy in just three words ... WAR WAR WAR
Chopvac @ 126:
Sure it would! He'd sound less stupid! Not much though...
These thugs are running scared, They can certainly dish it out, like Alcaduh is trying to take over the world, look at these people they are climbing all over these monkey bars like like people who are militant! Oh gosh we need to spend more money on Lasers from outer space because the Chinese are buy our sea ports Oh my, lets build us more prisons, because of those liberal bloggers might start telling the American people that Chase Manhatten Bank supported Hitler.

Bolton Not Swayed in the Slightest by the NIE on Iran
He should be swaying by his neck!
You just dont see the word "priaprism" used enough in modern political discourse.
There's so much bullshit in his spin it would take me an hour to refure it all. I did note that he's dissing the generals on the ground for their failures in the last war (Iraq) (at 3:01). I didn't know it was over and I thought Bush had faith in those generals. Bolton throws them under the bus now. Could it be the ""policy"" (cough) was flawed, and now everyone wants a scapegoat?? I'm going no, before I go crazy...
And of just what is it apropos whether Bolton was or was not 'swayed' by the NIE?
The only time he's swayed is when a breeze comes up in the jungle and rustles the leaves on the pile of branches he's laid in the crotch of a tree for his nightly repose.
Or when Olmert kicks him in the nuts for not sticking to the script.
I often wonder if his hairstyle isn't to hide a large "Elephant Man" lump on his forehead. Then, of course, the moustache is to distract from the lump-cover-hair... right?
If he had a brian he'd be dangerous. God, they just don't get much dumber than the KKKaption Kangeroo. As part of the bush crime family, throw his ass in jail in 2009!!!
Opps, If he had a brain he'd be dangerous. Brian is my nephew.
Just wanted to point out that the "messenger" Bolton would like to have fired was Swiss ambassador Tim Guldimann, not an "Iranian diplomat". Switzerland has represented the US in Tehran since 1981 through an interests section. Not that that makes Bolton's statement sound any less deranged.
would someone please have this guy committed. Who is his next of kin - surely we can talk them into signing the papers?
The only swaying that bolton should be doing is at the end of a rope (after, of course, a "fair" Gitmo-style trial).
why in the FUCK do we care what Bolton says? geezuz this is a hack that stopped the vote counting in FLA 2000, nothing more that a Bush hack plain and simple. The bastard could careless about facts or the truth all he knows is what Cheney tells him to say
