Gads, I like this guy. It’s refreshing to know that there are still a few government types out there who actually are intelligent.

I’ll bet he won’t be paying Osama any Laura Bush style compliments.

This is the same moron who was a strident supporter of the Clinton administration’s campaign to topple the Milosevic government of Serbia on behalf of radical Muslims in Kosovo.

Quite true. Bolton never met a war he didn't like.

Yugoslavia was one place we should have stayed out of, completely.

LOL. Have to dig in and see if there is any Bolton in the 20K+ music library.
May fall a bit short.

Ever since Scrubs aired, I can’t watch Office Space without flinching at the sight of Dr. Cox in a tie and glasses...

Government’s legitimate role includes self-defense...but you appear to have a more expansive view than this. I said that Bolton never met a war he didn’t like. You apparently think that is fine. How do you intend to pay for all these wars?

You could stop the cost over-runs and the waste on the personnel and “stuff” that goes boom!

I know because “O” just said last night he could pay for government health care by cutting costs on Medicare and Medicaid! /sarc
LOL

Bolton, like the other neos, believed the war would pay for itself and our gas prices would be forever low. Didn’t QUITE work out that way, huh Yosemite Sam?

If we’d actually fight to win these conflicts, they wouldn’t cost nearly as much. I don’t care if the whole Muslim world is blown to green glass. They want me dead, so why should I care about them?
