1. Thanks, that was enjoyable.
Gotta wonder where Bolton went to school. His knowledge of history seems to be a bit, uh, 'colored' by his current perceptions. And his perceptions have almost nothing to do with reality.
And he was ambassador to the UN?

2. I'm not sure where he went.
It would appear that his education on foreign policy came from the same folks who brought us WW2 and Vietnam.

I have no respect for John the Walrus.

3. and that's what you call a beating.
can you see any of our so called journalists talking to our political officials like that?

and John Bolton again shows his true swarmy ass arrogant self. What a slimeball he is.

4. Whoof!
I have no idea why John Bolton would have agreed to be on that program with a bunch of well-informed, articulate, commentators who know more than he does. He was blinking like a Vegas slot machine at the end when Benn was telling him what a loser he was and is.

8. They lost Saddam, then set him up
Edited on Mon Mar-26-07 11:01 AM by Gonnabuymeagun
took him out, betrayed the Kurds and Shiites and destroyed the country in order to maintain the status quo.

I love the American people too. Fair elections now!

On edit: Tony Benn "It's a different interest"
John Bolton "well you go on ahead, you go on ahead" (paraphrased)
What an evil little man.

9. Bolton said he didn't want to be in Iraq like it its...
but he and his buddies fucked it up. I especially like the Iraq woman who told him who did he think that he was fooling.

11. Is there a full version of this?
I noticed it cuts out after the part where she says "I lost more relatives in the last 4 years than I ever did under 30 years of Saddam". I really want to hear his response to this.

12. It's not a difficult feat Neocons can be easily defeated in debate
Just get into any situation where

1. Their flag waving pseudo-patriotism has no effect.
2. Those around them know history better then they do.
3. They cannot cut the mike and speaking louder doesn't affect how 'right' they are.

oh yeah,

4. Fox News isn't there to edit the entire thing to make them look miraculously clever...possibly by adding the laughtrack from Scooby Doo to everything the opposition says.

14. This link didn'tt work; but I assume you're talking about his appearance on 'Question Time'
Edited on Mon Mar-26-07 02:14 PM by LeftishBrit
Bolton was such an IDIOT!!! I had seen him briefly on the news before, but never in such a concentrated dose as here. And to think that he nearly became ambassador to the UN...

Benn made much more sense!

And the Iraqi woman's words were really heartbreaking.
