“Talking Toilet Brush Bolton believes in peace through nuclear annihilation.”

Provided he doesn’t have to participate, of course:

Bolton supported the Vietnam War, enlisted in the Maryland Army National Guard and consequently did not serve in Vietnam. He wrote in his Yale 25th reunion book “I confess I had no desire to die in a Southeast Asian rice paddy. I considered the war in Vietnam already lost.” In an interview, Bolton discussed his comment in the reunion book, explaining that he decided to avoid service in Vietnam because “by the time I was about to graduate in 1970, it was clear to me that opponents of the Vietnam War had made it certain we could not prevail, and that I had no great interest in going there to have Teddy Kennedy give it back to the people I might die to take it away from.”

No need to wait — he was a guest of Hannity yesterday:

@ Michael toni And furthermore Michael, may I suggest you take an HONEST AND HARD LOOK at this link — it explains the REAL reason why some Iranians today ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY HATE OUR GUTS! You need to scroll down to the part entitled “Pahlevi, Shah Mohammed Reza”:

@ Michael toni Hey Michael — if you’re THAT scared s**tless about Iran, WHY DON’T YOU OR YOUR MILITARY AGED LOVED ONES GET UP OFF YOUR A**ES AND ENLIST RIGHT THIS INSTANT? I’m sure the line at your local armed forces recruiting center is not long. It’s time for warmongering neocons like you to PUT UP OR SHUT THE HELL UP!

@ doors17: I remember how the most amazing coincidence involving the hostages took place. Oh. And maybe just a little bit of GOP treason was involved.

There is some evidence that certain GOP officials went around the OFFICIAL channels (ie, the Carter Administration) to work a deal with the Iranians, roughly a week or two before the elections. If Iran would only delay any real negotiations to free the hostages until AFTER the 1980 election, it would help ensure that Carter wouldn’t get re-elected (although Carter was behind in the polls even in mid-October, the GOP was actually worried that the Carter Administration might manage to pull an “October Surprise” and announce the hostages would be freed before Christmas—and could likely pull off an upset and be re-elected). There certainly was no love between the Iranian leadership and the Carter Administration and Team Reagan decided to apply that old Middle East favorite, “The enemy of my enemy is my friend.”

Of course, the Iranians pulled out of any negotiations until after the elections and Carter lost. So, in early December, the Iranians came back to the table but ultimately refused to give Carter any sort of victory by choosing Inauguration Day as the official release date.

But, I also remember how the Great Military Supporter Reagan dithered around and refused to take any responsibility for the deaths of 240 US military personnel, allowing instead a general to “take one for the Gipper” (compared to the failed rescue attempt by the Carter Administration in the summer of 1980, when Carter took full responsibility for the mission’s failure and the deaths of all involved).

And the great irony of the 1986 arms-for-hostages thing was that Reagan and his people wanted to sell arms to the Iranians while, simultaneously, supplying weapons (including chemical weapons) to Iran’s enemy, Iraq.

Michael, I remember 1979 and the hostage situation. It also gave birth to Nightline on ABC with Ted Koppel. I also remember 1986 when President Reagan traded arms to Iran in exchange for hostages.

Just keep in mind that those on the right who are saying this deal will be a failure are the same group that told us the Iraq War would be a success.

The right wingers are always angry, criticizes about everything, and offers no solutions.

you idiot liberals are far too trusting of iran. do you morons not remember what they did to us in 1979? how fast they turned on the shah? these people are chronic backstabbers. their people chant death to america nearly everyday and you have the guts to trust their government? HA! i hope congress wises up and crushes this deal.

When I left work, their thing was that it was a victory for Putin… I thought they’d be happy about it if it actually was, because don’t they want Putin to be our president?

i love how iran violating 6 u.n. resolutions is terrible, but israel violating quite a few more, ho-hum! here’s a list, by the way: http://www.foreignpolicyjournal.com/2010/01/27/rogue-state-israeli-violations-of-u-n-security-council-resolutions/

Bolton got a little assist from host Eric Shawn. He said at the end of the discussion, “We’ve seen Iran already violate six of those (U.N.) resolutions. That is their record of defiance.”

Hey, Eric — Israel has violated UN resolutions more than 200 times, most recently in 2009:

http://www.foreignpolicyjournal.com/2010/01/27/rogue-state-israeli-violations-of-u-n-security-council-resolutions/view-all/

That’s their “record of defiance”. I suppose we should bomb them next — right?

.

“the elimination of Israel” – really, John? Because Israel has nukes, and if Iran were to hit them, they’d hit right back.

And this thing about the 4 American prisoners – that’s a separate issue.

Bottom line – if Republicans are angry/upset, it can’t be all bad.

I love watching repub heads explode. Screw them bastards.

Poor babies.
