BOLTON HEARING LIVE ON C-SPAN 3
Kerry is way over time, the chair cuts him off.
I'm sure all the networks will be including the "Best of Obama" among the "Best of Bolton questions" tonight.
I'm stuck. No CSPAN, and the local FM station carrying Limbaugh preempted him for a minor league baseball game.
IOW, his health club, masseuse, manicurist, hairdresser, tailor, reflexologist....
This is the first year he's actually showed up for work
At least he learned something fromt he election
Yep .. he's goes Bolton nailing Kerry
His Code Pink tie.
Kerry has stumbled so much trying to come up with a "smart" question, there was a lot of dead air on the computer...
North Korea was wandering around Washington, looking for people to talk to??? uh, yeah.
Kerry about NK coming to DC looking for a deal
Kerry says the Admin just blanked them
Kerry is an idiot
Why are they even having this conversation?
Since he brought up Clinton, Bolton should have reminded him of how NK got that way.
No Kerry didn't talk about 1559.
Kerry now bored and twiddling his thumbs, trying to goad Bolton
The world according to John Kerry is to blame Bush for everything. North Korea has every right to feel threatened because George Bush went to war in Iraq and lied about WMD.
Yeah, that's the ticket!
And the leeway given to Kerry allowing him to interrupt Bolton after his time is up is disturbing.
Kerry, we don't talk to Syria.
Cut his mike off already!
Kerry: What I've seen work in al lthe years I've been here is the kind of deal you're willing to make. If you've seen the US attack Iraq, WMD didn't exist, pre-emptive strategy of regime change, producing own bunker buster weapons, you'd perceive a threat. That's what drove the Cold War and escalate. In every case, except two weapons systems, to develop a nuclear breakthrough first until ultimately Reagan, conservative president, we reversed.
We're stuck and a lot of us feel deeply that the 6 party talks were never real and never a way to achieve goal.
Chair: We've been generous with time.
Bolton: The effort made is to give NK the opportunity to make the choice to come out of its isolation and give up nuclear weapons programs and enjoy the life S Korea enjoys.
There's a great map, Senator, I'd share with you - S Korea is filled iwth light.
Kerry: I know what a terrible regime it is. I know that.
3 years ago, the NK were casting about here in Washington, who do we talk to. They were looking for a deal. And the admin. just blanked them. Then we get to 6 party talks and evolutions since then so with all due respect, there's a different course and it's important to lay it out there.
Bolton: We have.
Kerry: On 1559, on Hezbollah, that wasn't a priority fo rthe last year.
Bolton: I disagree.
Kerry: Did you put it on the front burner agenda.
Bolton: I turn you to my earlier statement and presidential actions - the Harriera assassination. The issue of Lebanon in general is the best example of US cooperation with France that we've had in years.
Kerry: Again, we can debate and we won't here so what the heck.
(In other words, Kerry gives up).
Hearing closed.
Oh, yes, he's won my vote. I want a pompous, disrespectful, arrogant, poodle for a Commander-in-Chief.
Sarcasm tag unnecessary. :-)
Kerry finally fades out after a waste of time. Thank you God.
He misidentified a document by Josh Bolten to John Bolton, in front of a meeting he know was going to be televised.
Oh... he had something on his mind though.
No - Bolton didn't actually say that. LOL
Awesome work Peach!
