Per MSNBC, there's nothing to be done EXCEPT diplomacy. How

[babylonsister]

ironic, considering the US doesn't know what that is.

[Withywindle]

1. I just heard them say something about

..."what John Bolton has to do..."


:scared: :scared: :scared:

[babylonsister]

2. I missed that but know the blivet may appoint him again, but someone

or some entity will have to pay for him. This admin is so damned disgusting imo.

[Withywindle]

4. I think he's still in for now.

His reappointment died in the Senate but I think he's in until January. At least, if they don't find some way to ram him through again.

Fucking asshats.

3. Diplomacy didn't work with them in the last 13 years

They lied to us and kept on doing what they wanted. As much as we want to blame Bushco for the insane little bastard having a nuke, he'd been working on it for years and wasn't going to stop no matter who was in office. If Kerry were President, Kim Jong-Il would still be doing what he considered in his best interest.

5. I think you are so wrong, but applaud your right to say that.

Who are they in the last 13 years because we're talking about 2 parties. Elaborate or get off the pot.

[Taoschick]

10. They

Are the North Koreans. They've lied to the world continually since 1993. They didn't just snap their fingers and "poof" develop a nuclear weapons program in the last 6 years. While the world was pooring aid into NK to offset the famine, Pyongyang was spending money on their enrichment program. It's just stupid to try and blame this on ANY American President. We are not their masters and they don't have to step and fetch for us whenever we demand it.

6. I watched a retired diplomat on Book TV on cspan.

His name is John Bradley Kiesling, and his book is "Diplomaacy Lessons: Realism for an Unloved Superpower.

Idon't know if cspan puts this on a video later or not, but he went through a very good explaination of how Presidents do things for one reasononly, and that is to advance their own political ajenda, and when their plan ceases to serve that purpose, they back away.

He said whensomeone like Joe Wilson attempts to expose them, the "Full Mooners" go full blast to destroy them. Usually they do illegal things to accomplish their goal, and then you have the chance to got them.

I only wish I could rmemeber all the important things he said, and how Diplomacy is the ONLY solution to solving the worlds problems.

7. Diplomacy! What a concept! I believe Kerry thought that might be

important during the debates, but the blivet never got that hang of that 'diplomacy' thing.

GWB: I honestly cannot stand him.

[spag68]

8. If you "can't stand him"

go to the library and get any book about his family since about 1910, then you will be really sick.

9. You remind me of me.

And I live in TX but hail from NY. And I love to read, so I'm pretty
much up to speed.
Welcome!
