Salvaging Our North Korea Policy.... By JOHN R. BOLTON There are signs, albeit small ones, that the Bush administration may be reaching the end of its patience with the Six-Party Talks on North Korea's nuclear weapons program. These signs could prove illusory. But as it nears its end, the administration has a serious responsibility: It must not leave its successor with an ongoing, failed policy. At a minimum, President Bush should not bequeath to the next president only the burned-out hulk of the Six-Party Talks, and countless failed and violated North Korean commitments. Since they were conceived in spring 2003, the Six-Party Talks have stumbled around inconclusively. And for the last 13 months, Pyongyang has ignored, stalled, renegotiated and violated the Feb. 13, 2007 agreement.

John Bolton was the same dope who criticized the Bush administration for recognizing Kosovo -- and this after he was one of a very small group of so-called conservatives WHO HAD OPENLY SUPPORTED THE CLINTON ADMINISTRATION'S MILITARY CAMPAIGN AGAINST SERBIA.

This fella doesn't have a single shred of credibility left after that one.

W’s legacity is a 98 Yen dollar.

If McCain announces that Bolton will be his Secretary of State, he will gain some credibility with conservatives. He’ll never do it, of course, because he prefers credibility with liberals.

I am in full agreement.

You are entitled to your viewpoint, even if it represents an extreme minority viewpoint, I will defend your right to say it. Thank you for your input.

Sheesh, Eric, DO give the “Boy With the Finger in the Dike With the Alfred E. Neuman Grin” at least nine more months. By then the legacy will be up to 85 Yen to the US Dollar.

>>More accurately, maybe Calvin should be whizzing on a photo of DOS headquarters in Northwest DC. That might be more appropriate.

Maybe just on the text “Foggy Bottom”?

Glad to be of service!

It might have taken me 10 minutes to find the base image, add the text in Photoshop, upload it, and post it here.

Great post.

It's so terribly rare that a pundit of any stripe has the balls to publish a list of specific recommendations.

[SevenofNine]

That so true LOL!
