Default Bolton: We have no responsibility to Iraqis

Bolton: We have no interest in Iraq’s well-being.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=RuqNWG9sbuE
[youtube]RuqNWG9sbuE[/youtube]

“What staggers me about this clip is Bolton’s point-blank view that the US had no responsibility to impose order after the invasion, and no responsibility for security within the country. Bolton actually says that the only error Bush really made was not giving the Iraqis ‘a copy of the Federalist papers and saying, “Good luck.”‘ Yes, he says he’s exaggerating for effect, but he is conveying the gist of the policy. The casual recklessness and arrogance of these people never cease to amaze. The world is theirs to play with — and the victims of predictable and predicted violence are left to help themselves.” Via Andrew Sullivan.

at the 7-minute mark, this hits me as profoundly striking:

Quote:
Paxman: Except, of course, he didn't have any weapons of mass destruction, did he? ... This claim turned out to be a lie, Mr. Bolton, didn't it?

Bolton: No, no, no... You're quite wrong on that... The capability that Saddam kept was not physical pieces of equipment, but the intellectual capability to re-create the nuclear program...
Wait... WHAT????? ... So if a nation merely THINKS it can make a nuclear weapon that's grounds for swift imperialistic consequences by the world's policeman?

It goes on and on and on.. the lies get perpetuated, the liars get promoted and after a while even they believe the lies they tell..

Luckily for me I still get outraged when I read or hear about a-holes like this guy. The day I don't give a crap, I pack my bags and move to Ireland, and I fear that day might actually come if this keeps up much longer. Damn!

All of the authors of this mess will be spinning their fairy tales to distance themselves from the responsibility.

When cornered by questions under oath...they will vomit the tried and true response.....

I can't recall.

Bank on it!!!!!

Scary isn't it? It shows the mental midgets we are dealing with. If they can be reduced to spending a trillion or more and busting our military on a mere suspicion of future threat, imagine how they are interpreting your posts, or mine, etc.

They can use this same logic to label anyone and everyone a terr'ist, who doesn't conform to their agenda.

1984 is here, now. Party over country. Liberty is lost.
