Exactly how long is John Bolton's arm? I was wondering, because everytime he shoves it up The Great National Embarrassment's ass and moves his mouth, more crap keeps flowing out, and Americans die. Bolton is one of the chief NeoCon architects of the current debacle in Iraq, along with "Investments" Perle and Wolf-Wolf. Bolton's recent special interest neocon class project has been the whippin' into line (with the sons and daughters of others, of course) of Syria and Iran..."or else". The North Koreans hate him and he is persona non-grata in that part of the world. In fact, the North K's won't even be in the same room, much less the same hemisphere with him.

Today Whistle Ass made a little speech, praising his buddies in Saudi Arabia (they share puppetry duties with the Neocons) and putting out one of those warnings to Syria and Iran...you know, the old Western Movie Cowboy things..."you got 30 minutes to get outta down, pardner or we're comin' ta getcha."

Mr. Bush had sounded similar themes before, notably in a speech at the American Enterprise Institute a month and a half before he ordered the invasion of Iraq. But until Thursday's speech, he had not identified nations that he thought urgently needed to reform. For the first time, he also raised, gingerly, the issue of the absence of liberty in Saudi Arabia, one of America's major oil suppliers and a nation that has long been spared presidential rebuke.

"The Saudi government is taking first steps toward reform," he said, choosing his words carefully about a country that one of his senior aides said recently "is probably the most resistant to change of any nation in the region." He referred to its experiment with local elections, avoided any mention of the struggle within the Saudi royal family over whether and how to surrender some authority, and he offered the most gentle of encouragement.

"By giving the Saudi people a greater role in their own society," Mr. Bush said, "the Saudi government can demonstrate true leadership in the region."
...
Not surprisingly, Mr. Bush heaped the most scorn on Iran and Syria, which his administration accuses of seeking to undermine the Iraq occupation. "The regime in Tehran must heed the democratic demands of the Iranian people or lose its last claim to legitimacy," he said.

He lumped Syria's leaders with Mr. Hussein, saying they had promised a restoration of ancient glories but instead left "a legacy of torture, oppression, misery and ruin."

It's amazing that anyone still buys this shit. The more that Bolton and the Neocons have their hand up that Whistle Ass of his, the less secure our world will be. Having to listen to this crap for anymore than one more year will be, well, unimaginable. There's a real nightmare scenario for us all, The Crawford Village Idiot left in charge...again.
