#1 Yeah, Bill. Your good offices routine with the Norks really netted some handsome dividends. Back from the slimelight with ye.

#2 Richardson is a completely ineffectual douchebag and as such he'll make a great VP candidate for the Dems in '08.

#3 This is as opposed to the "Old Realism" - known as reality.

#4 So it's ok to be unilateral with North Korea and Iran instead of getting our allies involved with negotiations? I thought unilateral was bad, multilateral good.

I'm so confused. When is it ok to be a cowboy and when do we have to play nice with others?

#5 America needs a "new realism" in its foreign policy and a concerted push for energy independence to safeguard national security...

Of course this is why the Gov signed the papers moving a nice chunk of NM land out of exploration and drilling recently. Bill will make a good vice-presidential nominee for Hillary, they both act alike. Try to pander to two sides at once. On immigration, he calls for more enforcement along the border after issuing a directive to state agencies not to cooperate with ICE.

#6 Agree he talks out of both sides of his mouth and he may be a douche bag, but he's about the best that the dems have got.

#7 Thanks for your opinions Bill. Now we know why you're not qualified for any higher office. People like you, Dean, Kerry, etc., just keep talking. The hole is getting deeper.

#8 Interesting that a White House spokesman invokes Howard Dean. They must be getting the sense that Dean does not do well as the symbol of the Democratic party.

#9 "If we would have had a permanent Middle East envoy in the region, we would have been in a better position to disarm Hezbollah and protect Israel, and implement a concurrent cease-fire along with a legitimate, international peacekeeping force on the ground,"

What you mean "we," Kimosabe?

Are you offering US troops to ~~fight a war with~~ disarm the most powerful, best equipped, and best organized terrorist group in the world, or are you just blowing smoke from your nether regions?
