Bolton Unhinged
Posted by Adam Blickstein

Discredited neoconservative and failed former US Ambassador to the UN John Bolton provides a pretty over the top and unhinged assessment of President Obama's UNGA speech filled with neocon code words such as 'naive', calling it ‘A Post-American Speech By Our First Post-American President.’

Of course, there is nothing more post-American than pursuing a foreign policy and national security course that alienates our allies, sends America to war under false pretenses, defies American law and embraces torture, and a generally adopts a go-it-alone mentality that flies in the face of over 200 years of Presidential leadership. Maybe Bolton can't see President Obama's restoration of American ideals and leadership because the President under which he served exhibited neither trait. But ostensibly, Bolton's myopic approach to foreign policy stands at the fringe of the fringe where he has no credibility left from which to criticize any serious foreign policy experts, let alone the President.

He criticizes Obama's speech for being "filled with talk about U.N. bodies, U.N. treaties, and sending Secretary of State Clinton to a conference on the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, which would be an incredible waste of time for her. The president’s speech showed a fascination with U.N.-centric issues." I'm glad Bolton is so overly concerned about the Secretary of State's time management skills, but he should be more worried about the time he has wasted writing this dribble. Last time I checked a speech at the UN should discuss UN-centric issues.

But the kicker at the end is Bolton infusing the politics of race into Obama's UN speech by asserting that "The president did everything he could to say: ‘Can’t we all just get along?’”

Yes, invoking Rodney King is a fairly intellectual way to examine the merits of the President's General Assembly address. But asking that question is far less pernicious than saying "Every nation in every region now has a decision to make. Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists." ... http://www.democracyarsenal.org/2009/09/bolton-unhinged.html

You can count on Bolton. He's full of it & ready & willing to display it.

He'd look great dressed up as TR at San Juan Hill. "CHARGE!!!!".

1. That cretin

gives Yosemite Sam moustache aficionados everywhere a bad name.

[tavalon]

2. One cannot call that which was never hinged, unhinged

I'm just sayin'

[charlie]

3. The only thing remotely like TR about Bolton is the soup strainer

Still, it's a less puke-inducing image than picturing his naked pasty ass prowling Plato's Retreat.

Too bad we can't send Bolton to Happydale - or even Panama!

6. "There's no such thing as the United Nations" -John Bolton

So, technically, Obama didn't even give a speech.

7. No, he'll look good all dressed up in Prison garb

and nothing less

[Gman]

8. Garbage from someone who couldn't even get confirmed

by a Republican Senate. He wasn't even brought up for a vote. He was a recess appointment and then never voted on to be confirmed. That's pretty friggin' bad.

9. The Neo-Con Circle Jerk...

Other than the corporate media, who cares what Bolton or any of the other war criminals of the past regime have to say. The only people relevant would be a future jury in the Hague...other than that, these discredited fuksticks need to be ridiculed until they just go away.

A lot of blame goes to the corporate media who feels the need to "balance" whatever the President says or does with some over-the-top harpie. While many rushpublicans have had enough of the neo-cons as we have (look how few are looked on as "presidential timber" or even hold an elective office) but Wolfie and Mrs. Greenspan and faux noise just love the Boltons to throw bombs and then pat themselves on the back that somehow this shows "balance".

10. Was it ever "hinged"?

[HughBeaumont]

11. Wow, all of a sudden the Failure Fuhrer's Cabal flaps their gums.

First Condi more or less pulls a Cheney and gives "advice" on Afghanist-nam, lest we want to see another Terrrrrrst attack. :eyes:

Now we got THIS rootinest-tootinest cartoon character coming out of the saloon to offer his two cents. Once again Johnny . . .

12. people who lick their combs should never be taken seriously

[Canuckistanian]

13. That was Wolfowitz

But I hear Bolton licks his moustache comb.

[marmar]

14. He needs a rake for that thing.

18. Frankly, I welcome a 'post-American' world. Now if we can just rid ourselves of neo-cons.
