Grenell became the longest serving American Spokesman at the UN in history, having served John Negroponte, John Danforth, John Bolton and Zalmay Khalilzad throughout the entire 8 years of the Bush Administration. In 2004, Ambassador Danforth appointed Grenell as an official member of the United States Delegation to the Security Council with full voting rights.

1. No Gretchen (my dog's name by the way)

when President Obama was talking about outliers, he was not referring to countries, rather he was talking about you and your network.

[Jim__]

2. Grenell's "arguments' had nothing to do with the current agreement, - n/t

[wryter2000]

5. Movie analogies

Good grief. "People have seen enough movies to know the good guy doesn't put down his weapon first."

To which I say, "You can't kill a monster with a gun."

[Creationismsucks]

3. THAT'S IT:

I hereby swear never to watch even one more second of Fox "news" programming. Not for any reason, ever.


DONE.

[90-percent]

4. Joseph Cirincione

Joseph Cirincione was impressive in this. I like lefties that are aggressive.

Fox is pretty slanted, isn't it?

6. "Here hold this you little fool." "Hold what? What is it?" "It's called your ass."

7. I can't rec this enough.

8. Three comments: Gretchen does a bad job of trying to steer the debate

with her questions. Some thing like this, "if we lay down our arms will Kim Jong Il follow suit?". Has nothing to do with this issue. We are not disarming and not asking Russia or North Korea to.

two: Mr. Grenell was upset because Pres Obama hasnt done more with the UN. The repubs dont like the UN and Bush continually avoided the UN.

C: Mr. Grenell didnt address the main question (that Gretchen didnt ask), will a reduction in the number of weapons reduce our security?

But overall, better than I expected form FAux News.

9. That was kind of funny at the end.

Poor Gretchen. :rofl:

10. Gretchen Carlson is a bimbo

who doesn't even understand the subject she's interviewing her guests on. Her questions have nothing to do with the substance of what the nuclear posture review actually does.

I actually disagree with Obama on this, but what a vacuous segment. I can't believe people rely on Fox (or CNN for that matter) to understand what's going on in the world. That's scary.
