SURRENDER IS NOT AN OPTION, Defending America at the United Nations And Abroad, By John Bolton; THE GREAT EXPERIMENT, The Story of Ancient Empires, Modern States, And the Quest for a Global Nation, By Strobe Talbott
...John Bolton, most recently President Bush's ambassador to the United Nations, and Strobe Talbott, President Clinton's deputy secretary of state and now president of the Brookings Institution, have some things in common...Their differences, however, far outweigh their similarities...Talbott believes that global governance is coming -- that "individual states will increasingly see it in their interest to form an international system that is far more cohesive, far more empowered by its members, and therefore far more effective than the one we have today." Whether the United Nations will be the centerpiece of this new system is less clear to him. In Talbott's view, the U.N. has the advantage of universal membership, global scope and a comprehensive agenda that makes it indispensable as a convener of governments and legitimizer of decisions, but also the disadvantage of being spread too thin; the sheer number and diversity of its members is a drag on its effectiveness. "To offset that defect," Talbott writes, "the U.N. needs to be incorporated into an increasingly variegated network of structures and arrangements -- some functional in focus, others geographic; some intergovernmental, others based on systematic collaboration with the private sector, civil society, and NGOs." ...Only in this way, he contends, will the world be able to deal with such clear dangers as a new wave in nuclear proliferation and a tipping point in global climate change.
Bolton is skeptical of such visions....

CHENY/BOLTON 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
nahh. Petreus/Bolton 2012! how bout that?
bttt
He’s speaking out loudly and often against their every idea.
He left the Bush/Clinton Administration, rejecting their agenda completely and speaks often of defending our sovereignity.
Cheney is in the Council.
Am encouraged that my assessment of him seems more on target than that of those who would not confirm him.
I was and still am somewhat suspicious of folks from such lofty realms . . . but if he’s seen the light and is a true patriot, more power to him. May he live long and prosper.
“May he live long and prosper.”
Hope so, but I wonder.
Yeah.
wouldn’t want to have to pay the insurance premiums on the odds.
A Democrat Administration will change the American way-of-life as we know it! And that is really scary!
I suspect that the next 8 years will see the global government in overt power over America regardless of which ‘Party’ gets overtly in power.
However, the DIMRATS would grease the skids to a worse ‘hell’ faster.
The Grifters. Harold Robbins missed the best story ever...
M. Stanton Evans's new book on McCarthy details the Amerasia sell-out of Chiang Kai-Chek in considerable detail. It was a State Department op run by John Service.
Armand Hammer, who operated as a bagman for the Communist International and capitalist deal-maker for the Kremlin, co-opted Al Gore's daddy (and young Al as well) many years ago. Both Al and later Strobe Talbott became useful tools for the USSR. Some of the sordid --and largely suppressed -- story is told here: Gore & Talbott's Red Russian Roots
Thanks for the ref.
Fascinating.
Eternity will show more treason by more satanic idiots than any of us would have thought remotely possible.
Incredible.
Outrageously incredible.
You don't have to wait for Eternity. The amazing thing is how "historians" and the Leftist media have been able to suppress that treason for so long. It's now slowly coming to light. Read Stanton Evans's "Blacklisted by History." It names names and fills in amazing blanks, and shows that elimination of crucial archival documents didn't start with Sandy Burglar.
Other parts of the the equally amazing tale are revealed in "In Denial: Historians, Communism and Espionage" by John Earl Haynes and Harvey Klehr and their other fine books, "The Secret World of American Communism," and "Venona: Decoding Soviet Espionage in America." Whittaker Chambers's "Witness" is also essential reading for anyone who truly wants to know how badly the American ideal has been betrayed.
True. True.
But reading too much of that leaves one wanting to . . . do more than pray for our . . . ‘leaders.’
