Inside USA- Face to Face with John Bolton-15 Aug 08- Part 1

[FussySmoker]

ohh shit.. I hate this ba*****

How long do we have to wait for his dead? I really looking forward to this..

[fagbert]

Bolton should really stay out of the public eye, he only embarrasses himself. His views have been utterly discredited by the past 8 years and he doesn't seem to realize what a laughingstock he is.

[shoxmar2003]

He said Saddam was a threat? but Afghanistan attacked the Twin Towers!(According to Bush and the Govn't) when in fact, They Killed Destroyed the Towers themselves .lolbut anyways, so why invade Iraq? this fool doesn't deserve to live!

[rossbazito]

I disagree with John Bolton on some war issues. However, Mr. Bolton is one of the most honest and articulate people on the political scene. He is a fine conservative and I would totally support him for any public office. The fact that he sends liberals into spastic hysteria is just a bonus; although admittedly not too difficult to do.

[Jetsgo10]

Avi Lewis is out of Canada... THANK GOD!!!! Avi, stay with Al Jazeera for the rest of your career, PLEASE!!!

[samerk321]

I hate bolton

[quifflington]

John Bolton is a genius and this interviewer is a total turd-monkey.

[cowlateral158]

I think bolton would make an excellet vp in 2012!

[hardkoreham]

Obama is a replica of Bush. Bush neoconservatives never even saw their hero and god reach the "defense" budget heights that Obama has us at.

Bolton replacing a war monger who replaced a war monger would be right in line with politics as usual in the US.

[smujismuj]

To anyone who supports this jerk [Bolton] I ask HOW are/were Iraq and Afghanistan a THREAT to the U.S.?

Careful, you might have to THINK

[LuckyPierre78]

Bolton ate this twerp's lunch

[Darcsied27]

I Hate that they allow John bolton on TV and That we seem to give a shit about his opinions. This guy was part of the worst foreign policy in american history yet his opinions are being listen to still, it makes NO Sense.

What are his Accomplishments?????

He was part of nothing but failure in the bush Administration. I'm tired this of

D-Bag!!!

[phanto212]

What a liar, didn't this guy read history for a while.

[chewbaca1989]

Saddam represented a threat, ok, but was he actually a threat.

Like could he really attack us?

[jonathandiaz8]

I loved the interview. Bolton is a professional and execeptional lair, but as usual, when on the Iraq matter, got raped. Big time !

[cowlateral158]

Bolton is a smart guy, hes not going to be pushed around by a faggot like lewis

[stick1to2the3issue]

So true. Bolton is an adult, lewis is a child.

[smujismuj]

Orwell called this 'newspeak'.

Saying the opposite of what is true.

Maybe Bolton really believes Iraq, Iran, & North Korea are threats. I would guess that all of these nations would pretty much mind their own business if other nations would mind theirs. Wars are created by the people who profit from them. The rumsfeld/cheney admin. was a who's who of war profiteers.

Obama has now increased the funding and sent more troops. So much for "change".

[Cosbibi]

War is peace

[alonelychild]

Too bad Lehman Brothers went into bankruptcy

[walkermydawg]

the pussy conservative court appointing bush as president is evidence of santa clause

[quifflington]

John Bolton is a genius. Avi Lewis is a turd monkey.

[hjklkjh121]

Seriously

[cvb777]

Is this man stupid or hypocritical? Hard to tell.

[rollotwomassey]

"Citing Seymour Hersh is like citing the Easter Bunny." Damn- why wasn't this guy confirmed as our UN ambassador?

[Bradaaron87]

Who is this spineless coward interviewer?

[Oscar1466]

If there is a HANGING OF THIS MAN and the entry ticket cost $1 000 000. I will sell everything even my clothes to pay for the ticket and sit on the front row, to see well and make sure that it is successfully done!! VERY EVIL MAN!!

[Chiangmai007]

It truly doesn't matter how internationally toxic or evil a world leader is in the eyes of a BBC or Al Jazeera reporter. If you remove the murderers that means you are just as evil as they are. Its this kind of adolescent sentimentalism that terrorists hunt for to gain a stronghold. Where is the knowledge of history, much less common sense, present in these blowhards? Thank you John Bolton for your assertiveness and wit when dealing with these incurably lost & liberal journalists.

[shoperty]

a pair of cunts

please someone with a brain and a backbone interview this monster. also impeach him

[Salamlcolholam]

Avi is just soo cute

[Hawkagis]

Worst interviewer ever.

[outstandyou]

We dont want U.S with nuclear weapons. U.S is the biggest threat to the world.

[shakbazyan]

This guy is a fucking bitch!! I think his wife sucks a jew dick..

[bilboz123]

Wow, this interviewer is such a dim bulb. John Bolton absolutely ran circles around this poor sap. I think American Liberals and Al Jazeera are two hate groups that need to be bitch-slapped! John Bolton-1, Al Jazeera-0.

[Advocate1234]

Can someone let me know if this is Avi Lewis?

[xxashyy]

Also one more thing "isolationist foreign policy" was a policy adopted by George Washington. He clearly said that America should not become intangled in foreign alliances. If America had listened to him we wouldnt be in the mess today around the world.

[xxashyy]

Well first off lets get one thing straight Iran's president does not want to "wipe Israel off the map". He said he wanted Zionism wiped off the page of history. That one of the biggest lies of this whole conflict between Israel and Iran, and you and the mass media parrot it very well. Second you don't like isolationist like me because that would cut aid to Israel immediately.

[rickwodz]

Nobody voted for John Bolton, he is not an elected official. When you formulate your opinions, are you worried about how they will play with the American public? Neither does he.

[manwiththecalicobag]

and he promots murder

[suhailshafi]

The score reads Al Jazeera and the courageous Avi Lewis 1 John Bolton 0.

Bolton is a truly appalling character and his defence of the worst excesses of US foreign policy from the invasion of Iraq on a pack of frabrications to the US led sabotage of Iran's fledgling democracy is crass at best, indefensible at worst. He exemplifies in every way the grossly unethical and arrogant nature of the US's Mideast foreign policy.

[mcv47]

Beware the 'stach!!! Bolton for President!!

[phlyphysh]

Lewis is the perfect Canadian - self righteous and ill informed.

[championbubblers]

"National Security"

National Security to the likes of jb means global clampdown of all resources, slave labor, plunder war and murder.

Actual national security means socialized healthcare, free education through college, alternative energy, dismantling of the military and its industries, and jailing most of the politicians and military leaders of the last fifty yrs. I could on.

[appatel]

"I am Yosemite Sam." Bang Bang Bang!!!!

[himkdm1]

This is unbelievable. How can he possibly try to justify the invasion of Iraq in terms of national security interests today. Everyone knows that al qaeda wasn't in Iraq until after we invaded. This man can't seem to change his mind even after there is evidence that his preconceptions were wrong. How does someone like that get to be a major foreign policy advisor?

[rickwodz]

When did Bolton say anything about Al Qaeda? And I seriously doubt that Bolton views Al Qaeda as a threat on the same level as Iran or North Korea. At worst, Al Qaeda (or Hezbollah, or whomever) would be a proxy for a nuclear strike by a rogue regime, which is the real threat.

[himkdm1]

He talks about them in the interview! He may not view them as a threat on the same level as Iran or North Korea, but our entire foreign policy adventure was based on the faulty neo-con logic that we could conquer a country, force it into democracy, and create a domino effect leading to democracy throughout the middle east, finally resulting in love for America. The opposite happened- al Qaeda is now in Iraq, Iran has a reactionary president, and North Korea withdrew from the NPT, and uses ICBMs.

[rickwodz]

You clearly imply that Bolton attempts to use Al Qaeda to justify the invasion. He does not. And you obviously know little about John Bolton, because he has never been part of the "neocon" movement and has little interest in "nation building". That may have been one of the philosophies underpinning the invasion, but it certainly wasn't Bolton's.

[Winston2004]

avi lewis is an idiot

[dell4bq]

Indeed. I can't fathom his stupidity in asking John Bolton about covert operations. I was hoping he'd slap this little puke across the face and say, "Yeah like I'm going to inform you (who work for Al Jazeera) about our special OPs inside Iran right now so you can tip off the bad guys." The nerve of the guy to even ask... What a freaking traitor, even though he is Canadian.

[z257425]

There is a lot of similarities between people like John Bolton and people like Ahmadinejad and rational people are stuck in the middle...................

[77WasAFalseFlag]

the bilderberg is behind every war and all misery on earth wake up ,the bush is new world order they want 80% of humans dead the endless war on terror is so people will give up their freedoms wake the fuck up

[brengale]

can't wake the ones who refuse to see the writing on the wall all we can do is keep getting the message out and prepare ourselves for the worst and take care of business!

[terrorblades]

Wow... is it just me or dose Conservetiv mean: Fuck you i'm right!

(btw i know what the word means)

Btw all these people seam like old men with nothing but ignorens and hate under there forehead!

[CM1032]

Not necessarily, I just cringe when I see John Bolton speak, but some conservatives, even the occasional neo-con, can speak constructively and engage in reasoned discussion.

Some liberals will just refuse to engage in different points of view as well. It's nothing to do with the political doctrine really, just a narrow mindset that can't cope with choice.

Politicians views vary. Morons, however, are universal =)

[PersephoneSwimming]

how does attacking iraq constitute "facing the threat" that the US faced after 9/11? they continue to pull this bait and switch bit and it's so deceptive, can't believe the reporter let him get away with it.

[PersephoneSwimming]

unfortunately it's not denial but extreme arrogance and cold, controlled strategic confidence that he and other neocons are living in.

[JueputaGuebon]

what a snake...

why are all these snakes allowed in our govt?

doesnt anybody else see through their bullshit!!??

wake up americans, your patriotism is being used against you.

[mrgrieves9876]

bolton is another neocon living in denial

he should be put on trial for war crimes

[dell4bq]

Denial of what? What war crimes? You are an idiot. You should be thrown in Guantanemo for being a piece of trash traitor to our country.

[bodah44]

LOL your funny, denial of what? denial that Iraq was disaster denial that America picks and chooses whcih dictator to overthrow (ie the one with oil) denial that America has unlimited resources to start as many wars as it likes (its not so good at finishing them) Bolton is one of the worst neo-cons out there and he is OUT THERE. your hyperbolic statements just show how little you understand geo-politics. you worry about Iran but China has u by the balls because u borrow its money to fight wars

[rickwodz]

What is really funny about your comment is that Bolton would be the very first to argue that the US needs to be very selective about which dictators it overthrows. In your view you must either overthrow all or none? A very odd idea.

[bodah44]

then he cant say that they invaded Iraq because Saddam was a dictator and instead give a real reason why the neo-cons ordered the invasion

[rickwodz]

Bolton thinks entirely in terms of American self-interest. But he also thinks that it is a good thing that a dictator is no longer in charge of Iraq. He would never advocate invading Iraq or any other country merely because it is run by a dictator.

[bodah44]

u didn't answer my question if the reason wan't just that Saddam was a dictator why did Bolton want to invade Iraq?

[rickwodz]

Saddam refused to comply with 18 security council resolutions, including most notably the obligation to demonstrate that Iraq had completely abandoned its quest for WMD. He was an ongoing threat to the region and American interests. Bolton is not a "neo-con", nor has he never advocated removing a dictator merely because he is a dictator.

[bodah44]

1 bolton is a neo con he has addmitted it he's a member of the american enterprize institute a neo-con think tank. 2 the UN did inspections and showed that Saddam had no weapons. also read the book 'the way of the world' it shows that the Bush admin had an informant v close to Saddam who told them he had no weapons so they gave him 5 million to disapear to Jordan. face it he's a neo-con nut and so are u

[AdorIslam]

rickwodz

Saddam refused to comply with 18 security council resolutions, including most notably the obligation to demonstrate that

Israel has not complied to hundreds of resolutions yet that county is never been invaded but supported. So anyone is a threat to America is removed but America is a thereat all the countries in the world so who should invade America. With the same logic, all the other countries deserve the right to at least protect them from American threat.

[rollotwomassey]

@AdorIslam Israel has never been invaded? Wow.

[EasyEs]

Because it was a barbaric prision state that would have A. Imploded B. Been handed off to even more murderous sons. C. Attacked his neighbors. D. De stabilize the entire region leading to economic tremors that leave the world a far less peaceful place. E. Any combination of the above.

[bodah44]

oh go back to bed! you dont think the iraq war "De stabilize the entire region leading to economic tremors that leave the world a far less peaceful place" As for the other three thats just not true theres a million things that could have happened Saddam was crippled by sacntions etc etc but really if you cant see that invading iraq was the wrong thing to do your blind hope you enjoy waving 12 billion of your tax money every month. spose it doesnt matter as the economy is doing so well LOL

[dell4bq]

I hate this dipshit interviewers loaded questions like his incorrect statement about "the tide of public opinion is clearly against America's use of preemptive strikes". Typical liberal. Once Bolton corrects him, the liberal changes the subject.

[FarangBalls]

I am a Republican and I am against America's use of preemptive strikes.

[crazyfoizl]

Lol that interviewer fucked boltons shit up

[dell4bq]

Bolton schooled this dipshit. You sound like you are not well informed. Stay in school.

[caelarent]

This disgusting monster taxes my opposition to the death penalty.

[reprimand33]

Bolton is a utter nutter!!! If he was president of USA he would have invaded just about all sovereign countries in the middle east!!

[copcorona]

Ha! America has been fighting a lot of defensive wars. 60 years of defensive wars. What a load of #$%@

[adilski]

This journalist is quite impressive.

[DonSimonBolivar]

OMG so what is the Invasion of Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic,Cuba, CIA operations in all of Latin America, the Middle East..Vietnam, Philippines, Republic of Congo, Backing European foreign Policy in Africa to do coups for resources. Saddam you paid for him in Iraq when the fought Iran. Talk about Murders. Look a killer is saying he wants to kill. Premeditated Murderer this is against the LAW! Genocide in the Gaza strip! UNITED NATIONS SAYS ITS GENOCIDE! Centuries old? Better? So you can hide

[DonSimonBolivar]

How you will Kill and murder...thats all he basically is saying..to murder people more directly..Great Role model for the kids huh?

[btigtime2]

Blah Blah Blah...  Go Bob Barr

[Organjic]

So far...

McCain is a Congressman

McCain speaks honestly

People should forget the problematic past

WMDs still exist in Iraq

WE THE PEOPLE's opinion doesn't matter

Over-throwing another country is OK

National Security was in threat from opposite side of the planet...

[monica1661]

mccain speaks honestly lol XD

thats a good one lol

[ACTORnSCREENWRITER]

lol silly (^_^)

[Organjic]

Its truly hilarious how transparent this guy is!

[ragnar336]

i hate bush, but i love how willfully ignorant people are when they say we found no weopons of mass destruction. these common people think nuclear bomb when they hear that word. biological weapons are also weapons of mass destruction.

[LOJANOS]

John Bolton the most hated motherfucker in the United States. When is this fucker going to die!

[ACTORnSCREENWRITER]

Is it just me, or does John Bolton look like a walrus?

[monica1661]

its just you^^

[clg26]

I agree! McDonald's should buyout Burger King!

[MoodyGroove]

This is incredible journalism!

[pondman27]

"Rogue states" by this he means any nation that will not allow the empire to rape and pillage its peoeple and resources. No mention of the Nuclear arsenals provided to puppets and lets not forget Is Ra El.

The use of double speak is laminated into almost every phrase used. All the key words are there, terrorists, rogue nations, blah blah blah.

His advocation of premptive strikes against any one who seeks to deny the empire speaks volumes.

[pondman27]

In his own words, American people can be duped, they will vote for those who they THINK are speaking honestly!! This is one of the manipulators and liars who have dragged us all into todays horrific agenda.

[Truegeeza]

If i was there interviewing John Bolton I would certainly break his fuckin nose!

[thesomkid]

then you should begin your sentence with this line, " if i there was assaulting" just a thought lol

[takerdust]

Bolton is a jerk, but he made this host look like a dumbass.

[sharshur]

This guy is a loser, a schmuck, as someone said one of the top ten douchebags in the world, a murderer, a criminal and has a total lack of understanding of reality. Why oh why would anyone care what he has to say?

[jeanjadespring]

Bolton is a criminal and murderer, put him on trial.

[extringele]

So Iran cannot have nuclear weapons and north Korea cannot have nuclear weapons but Israel and India can?

[TrueAmericanMutt]

Sure, sounds good to me.

[baronmorris]

I'm not watching this video, but just stopped by to ask:

WHY DOES ANYONE GIVE THIS BOLTON DICK ANY AIR TIME WHATSOEVER?!?!

The guy is perhaps one of the top ten douchebags on the planet.

Peace to ALL!

OBAMA 08! & WE CAN'T WAIT!!

[pondman27]

Don't kid yourself. Obama is just another puppet. The system is broken and has been for along time. Your answers do not reside in the present corrupt and owned political system. Mark my words, within a year, you will be at war with your own millitary or a part of it.

[TrueAmericanMutt]

Yeah, I'll mark them for the recycle bin. Another foreigner feels the need to speak out against the big bad America. Wha, wha, wha... Worry about your own corrupt little island, and stick your gloom and doom up your ass, you piss-ant.

[pondman27]

Gloom and doom eh? You really think that all is well? As for my own little island, well I see it here too. What is more, the strings that are pulling your world around, eminate from the owners of the corporation of the US of A. Perhaps you should check into your history a little more, then you might begin to understand just how f-cked the system is.

Do you think those who are content with the idea of nuking innocents give a flying toss about you? Think again and wake up.

[baronmorris]

COMMON CONSPIRACY THEORY FALLACIES:

"Bandwagon Effect" get on the bus, it's leaving & all the cool people r on it.

Appeal to Rebellion: "born to be wiiild"

Shotgun Arg: many poor arguments strung together, try to make up in breadth what is lacking in certainty/depth.

Straw Man Arg.

Citing non-credible sources.

Snob appeal: Don't u wanna have it ALL figured out?!

Meanwhile, suspect motives for WANTING to believe (biases & blind spots) r seldom scrutinized & never ever given full disclosure.

peace

[colibri1]

Other countries will quit criticizing the US when the US gets out of their business and quits fucking up the entire world. Shove it up your ass.

[Antiks72]

It's a real bitch being under the heel of The Empire, isn't it?

[TrueAmericanMutt]

Nah, shove it up yours. You ignore the real problems in the world in order to use the USA as a scapegoat. It makes you feel better I suppose.

[THENAk3DTRUTH]

John Bolton is a lying pig...

[Renegen1]

This Bolton guy was spewing propaganda 100% of the conversation. The american people like politicians that are honest? The american people wouldn't know honesty if it hit them in the face. They're pretty dumb voters as a group. Then Bolton gives an ideological reason why Iran should be bombed, the US government doesn't run on ideologies, it actually runs on corporate greed, the ideologies are just politics. War with Iran will pad the coffers of the MIC.

[Snuilp]

India and Pakistan HAVE nukes. Wanna bomb them too?

[busherbee]

Bolton can't answer a straight question, friggin muppet with a brillo face

[busherbee]

bolton is a retard, but it's amazing he could dish all his b.s. without breaking out in laughter. bravo!

[x11115]

this guy speaking doesn't seem active with current events. he's a fucking idiot. aljazeera jew puppets..

[Ahmedo1984]

That was meant sarcastic

[Snoman8268]

Exactly how it is! "honest" is just another word for corruption when it comes to Bush.

[somethingawful01]

Iran could be a democracy, as it was in 1953 before the US had Mossadeq killed. The Iranian people hate the US just as much as the Iraqi's in Iraq do and they will not accept the US as a liberater. They will greet the US and it's warcriminal allies with bullets and make the war in Iraq look like a childs playground. Unlike Iraq there will be no civil war in Iran, so the entire population can concentrate on ridding themselves off the US as they did the French and the British.

[electango]

Are you serious? Iran has never been a democracy. You probably think Gaza is a democracy because they had a phony election and elected the Hamas goons. When the Americans overthrow the fascist theocracy in Iran, the Iranian people will have real democracy and the world will be much safer.

[jammoexii]

The election of Hamas WAS democratic. You might disagree with Hamas - there's a lot to disagree about - but if that's what you disagree with, you disagree with at least some democracy, period. And if you think "Americans" deserve democracy but Palestinians don't, that's a fundamentally undemocratic position to take.

About Iran, I think if there was real democracy in Iran, which there could be, it would be neither pro-American nor militaristic. That's not just blind hope either.

[electango]

Hamas used democratic means to gain power and then seized total power militarily. Just like Adolf Hitler did in 1933. But noone confuses Hamas or the Nazis for believers in democracy. Both are totalitarians and fascists. Iran is a dictatorship with a leadership that claims its words and actions are those of God.

[fekkot]

They seized power militarily because they didn't actually gain real power through democracy. To suggest they did is like saying Lincoln had power over all the U.S. in 1861 because he won the election. Radical? Sure. But by definition Hamas are not even loosely facists.

[electango]

Right. Hamas doesn't believe in democracy. It is led by people who believe they speak and act on behalf of God. Therefore, their opponents by definition are devil worshippers who deserve to die. Hamas is living proof of the need for separating church and state.

[fekkot]

What did Bush say about invading Iraq? "I consulted with a higher power [first]". What did Reagan say drove his anti-socialist military endeavors? A "Divine Providence". That's not even getting into all the "divine" guidance that Sharon and other Israeli PM's claimed to have had in their decisions. I'm not exactly trying to defend Hamas, but they are far from the sole bearers of blame for the current problems there.

[electango]

There's a huge difference between believing in God and in speaking and acting on behalf or God. Reagan, Bush and Sharon never said their political opponents were devil worshippers. Hamas, Hezballah and Iran openly call their enemies Satans. I prefer my political leaders to be less megalomaniacal than others people perhaps.

[fekkot]

Not that huge, much of it is just propaganda, really. Iran and Hamas just use more crude forms of propaganda. Things like "The Great Satan" or "The Zionists" as opposed to the more sophisticated "Axis of Evil" or "Evil Empire". The U.S.'s problem isn't really with dictatorship or theocracy either; just the ones threatening their interests. But those theocrats in Saudi Arabia and dictators in China are great business and geopolitics partners.

[colibri1]

When the people of the world drive the US military and US corporations out of their countries, the world will be a much safer place. Now, if the US could only be driven off the planet somehow....

[electango]

Obviously it's your belief that the world would be much safer if the power vacuum (left by the US being gone) were filled by the Iranians who oppress women and hang homosexuals or by the Chinese or Russians who outlaw labor unions and any form of opposition to government actions like the current rape and murder of innocent Georgians?

[xxashyy]

I really dont care if the Iranians oppress women and hang homosexuals IF that really happens over there. How it that a threat to America or Israel? Also do you know how many coutries around the world that oppress women and hang homosexuals? Dozens of them, and are we gonna start bombing most of Africa or parts of Southeast Asia for that. Get a life.

[charlesvan13]

Irans treatment of homosexuals is what makes it a threat to Israel. It's Iran's threats to Israel and its pursuit of weapons to cary it out.

I'm not Jewish, but this is a fact.

[charlesvan13]

I mean: "is not what makes it a threat"

[xxashyy]

Ohhh okay thanks for clearing that up, even though the latter point you made was a bit hypocritical on nuclear weapons.

[fekkot]

Haha yeah man that looked like a really nasty shot!

[xxashyy]

No thats no fact thats a bizarre assumption ive never heard of. Are you saying that most Isreali's are homosexuals by nature and therefore they believe if Iran gets nuclear power that this will harm the Israeli's? I dont understand.

[electango]

So you're problem isn't with fascism, dictatorship, or theocracies. I get it. You are just anti American. Hey, to each his own!

[xxashyy]

Noo. Its just i really dont care what the setup is of government in other countries. The different between you and me is that i say I dont care about what other governments do internally around the world. You claim to care about that, but some of the nations you support arent really western type democracies. Nations like Georgia and Israel. Which leaves you as a hypocrite. I dont see how iran or any 3rd world nations internal polictial affairs affect America.

[xxashyy]

It's not the business of the US government to so called spread "democracy". The constitution doesnt talk about "spreading democracy". Did you know that there are various types of democracy? Israel is a so called western style democracy, but it's has no constitution and there is severe religous bigotry in Israel.

[xxashyy]

Also Israel is the first democracy ive heard of claiming openly to be a "Jewish State". As for me being anti-american I believe anyone in this country America who supports the type of bullying of other nations and claim a type of moral jusitfication for that is Anti-american. Also ill go even further anyone in this country that supports the bandit state of Israel and give are tax money to israel is very anti-american. Put that in your pipe and smoke it electango.

[electango]

So you think the Israelis should go to the one man one vote style and let heavily armed Palestinian car jackers and suicide bombers have free run of Israelis streets? No, it's better to have one nation which is for the Jewish people. The Arabs have 23 nations of their own in which to put their Palestinian brothers and sisters.

[xxashyy]

Therefore, Israel would have to take care of themselves instead of milking billions of US tax money. My tax money should not be going to Israel or the Palestinians period. Ever since the late 40's Israel has been an enormous liability for America, and caused us tremendous blowback, and I believe that if the US government was neutral FOR ONCE in the middle east concerning Israel we'd be respected by the Arab world once again.

[xxashyy]

Also when America had an isolationist policy we were respected more so around the world than now, and we had no beef with the Arabs. Only until after the state of Israel was recognized did we lose that trust with the Arab world. That's a fact and you know it.

[xxashyy]

This nonsense that if America was the only world power it would maintain political and economic stability is just what it is nonsense. Actually things are much worst for American foreign policy as a single superpower now. If China and Russia were superpowers I believe that outcome would check American aggression and balance things out more. That's my belief like or lump it.

[xxashyy]

Well Isreal claims to be a so called "democracy". Israel and Us government have WHINED and BITCHED about the arabs not embracing "democracy". But if the Arabs do "embrace democracy" and pick a group that the US and Israel dont like. The Israeli and American goverment shoot the lights out and grab the money. So you and the right wing Zionsits in Israel dont care about democracy. Thats all pitching and selling.

[LILUCKSMO80]

BUT the usa push democracy on them but puting cia agent has a president everwhere in the world the cia as angent playing presidents people never seen these in there countries ?why because they are cia the usa is a funded terrorism coutries there is no bin ladin he a cia agent kind of funny they talk about him no more in democracy countries there isn't no war plans but in usa there more oil and who ? know what else

[TrueAmericanMutt]

Quit pretending you know what Iraqi's and Iranian's feel like.

[somethingawful01]

The Mojahedin are a terrorist organisation in the US and, after 30 years, still haven't been allowed to take over in Iran is because of oil and the fact that they won't allow the US to have a permanent base on Iranian soil.

In Syriana, which gives a glimpse into the Middle East, you see that there are oil firms involved in the 'liberation' of Iran (oil) and yet Iran is still being ruled by the Mollah's.

[somethingawful01]

Bolton is a fundamentalist who thinks the world is the property of the US and that the world should be subservient to the US. It shows in the fact that he sees the US as being in a defensive stance rather than an aggressive one. He is out of touch with reality and lives in a world of his own which is the way fundamentalists protect themselves from reality and the real world, something he doesn't want to see because it doesn't fit in with his goals and his small minded view of the world.

[josiahdallas]

Sneak attack on Bolton....

John Bolton is the man!
