Bolton: Military strike only way to stop Iran nukes
2010-12-01
John Bolton is mulling a run for president because he believes the US needs to recover its international standing and be more assertive, including being willing to bomb Iran and scrap the two-state solution.

#11  Moreso given ...

To wit,

* PAKISTANI DEFENCE FORUM > {Wikileaks] NOTHING WILL STOP PAK ARMY FROM SUPPORTING ANTI-INDIA MILITANTS. PAK Army + aligned corrupt Islamabad Poiltical Govtcritters.

"ANTI-INDJUH" MILITANTS include 4 Major Militant Groups, namely
* AFGHAN TALIBAN.
* Pro-TALIB HAQQANI, HEKMATYR Networks.
* LeT.

* SAME > THE NEAR-PERFECT WEAPON: MIRV TECHNOLGY WITHIN PAKISTAN'S GRASP | [BBC] PAKISTAN'S GROWING NUCLEAR PROGRAMME.

ALL-ASPECT = WARHEAD, MISSLE = LR DELIVERY, C3.

And where PAK's MIRVS go, IRAN + DPRK is not far behind.

#10  The next election will be won in the midwest. A Daniels-Rubio ticket would have the greatest chance of delivering a trunk win. And Daniels would be a very good fiscal president.

Palin should become the Gen X Rush for the new media.

#9  Ditto swksvolFF.

#8  Think that has more to do with the individual Thing. Like or hate, Palin IMHO has weathered everything possible, to the point where even the has-been cho was summoned from the depths to criticize her daughter who was in a popularity contest guised as a dance show.

Bolton, Jindal, and Palin have all weathered media and seem to be able to make decisions and go full in. I will only worry when we get the smart handclapping for Romney or the soaring nose of Huckabee.

#7  Hey Anymouse, entirely unrelated topic.... but I need your take on Alaska Communication Services (ACS).

#6  With all due respects, gents. As a long time Alaskan I think I can say Palin does not have the gravitas. She is much better in the king-maker role, and as a false target for the for the left wing mouth-droolers.

#5  No more talk about Huckabee PLEASE! With all due respect to the man, we don't need a 'nice guy' former preacher, talk show host. We need someone who will kick some rear ends!

#4  Don't know, yet. They may be able to attack his standing with the base, which doesn't really want another CENTER/right Republican like Bush. (That same approach will probably work with Huckabee, whose interpretation of Christianity basically revolves around releasing any numbnutz psychopath who says he's saved.)

One thing I haven't worked out in my head yet: would a woman have an easier or harder time dealing with this sort of stuff than a man? I'm not sure; the only potential female candidates out there that I can see on the right are Palin, Bachmann, and Elizabeth Cheney.

#3  And what will they do to Christie?

#2  If you think they've used the politics of Destruction on Palin, just wait until the nominee's Jindal. They'll take what he's talked about in the past re: exorcism and use it as a lead in on every really-out-there Catholic fringe dweller like Mel Gibson's Dad.

Just like if they nominate Cantor all sorts of "interesting" things about Orthodox Judaism will suddenly come out of the woodwork. (Starting with that senile Sephardic Rabbi over in Israel, and continuing through the whole Syrian "Kosher Nostra" organ smugglers over in New Joisey and eventually going on to distortions of the laws regarding cleanliness for Orthodox Jewish Rabbis.)

And if Romney's the nominee expect to see non-stop "Big Love" marathons on prime-time broadcast-network TV.

And now that I think about it, I wonder how much of the permit-based moratorium is based on the perceived need to wreck Jindal's chances by screwing up the economy in Louisiana any way they can.

#1  I prefer Jindal or Palin over Bolton, but he would be considerably better than the current occupant of the Oval Office.
