Bolton is right.

[TigerLikesRooster]

Ping!

[panaxanax]

He sure is.

Hunter-Bolton 2008

[DB]

Yes Bolton is right.

The bad news just keeps on coming.

Hard to be very hopeful of the future.

[endthematrix]

"We actually pushed N. Korea into a corner, but this agreement would allow N. Korea to escape from the corner and repeat the games it used to play."

Unfortunately the end game was to have the Security Council have our back. I think the Administration saw the writing on the wall and figured to cut a strong deal now unilaterally, and put NK on record for a future (Democrat?) administration. This way W takes credit if it works, and if it fails, can pull a Clinton/Albright - or maybe the US will finally unify the mainland.

[Eclectica]

Bolton said pretty much the same thing on the Glenn Beck Program Thursday.

[sgtbono2002]

Bolton is right on the money ,certainly no fuel should be delivered until the destruction of the nuclear facilities are verified to be destroyed.

[Straight8]

I agree- Hunter-Bolton '08. In no particular order.
Why is common sense limited to so few? These two have an abundance of it, and are not afraid to use it.

[edradour]

Captain Kangaroo, the great American Diplomat: "In my opinion, N. Korean regime cannot be changed but should be eliminated."

Bolton is Dead wrong, good thing he is irrelevant.

[joebuck]

Bolton may very well be right, but it seems a bit disloyal to undercut Bush when the President was so totally loyal to him and fought hard on his behalf.

[Pyro7480]

I smell ozone...

[panaxanax]

Hello newbie.

Wondering how long you'll last here.

[nuconvert]

"this agreement would allow N. Korea to escape from the corner and repeat the games it used to play."

yep.
It's the same with.
Maybe you could write him and explain why S.K. is reluctant to do anything about North.

[nuconvert]

Hunter-Bolton

I suggested that ticket on a thread a couple days ago.

;~ )

[nuconvert]

oops,

It's the same with Iran.

(you probably guessed that's what I meant.)

Disloyal to Bush but honest with the People...patriot.

[Weinburger]

People like the Edradour should be tracked down.. anyone who compares a Great American Thinker to Captain Kangaroo, should be shot for treason.

[gogogodzilla]

You obvious think that the North Korean regime should stay in power, ruling 20-odd million people.

And that says a lot about your beliefs in how a government should act, considering.

[Steel Wolf]

Bolton is right, and not just about North Korea. His other point, about how it sends the wrong message to other countries, is 100% correct. What lesson is Iran supposed to take from this? What lesson is Saudi Arabia or Venezuala supposed to take from this?

Simple. Rope-a-dope works. North Korea has been playing this game for years, and the game works. What's to stop other nations from playing us like fools, when we so willingly let them?

[snowsislander]

I think it would have been better if Mr. Bolton had been appointed Secretary of State rather than Ms. Rice.
