Neoconservatives dreamed that the flexing of American muscle in Iraq would cause the world to fall in line behind U.S. leadership; instead, the administration is struggling to build consensus at the United Nations on Iran and North Korea and discouraging any whisper of unilateralism or preemptive military strikes. Yep. The only people acting exactly as we expect them to are our enemies... They hate us, and they're going to fight us.
Where did we fail? We were too generous with who we called friend.

I just searched google news to see how the hearing was reported. NOTHING like the Free Republic running commentary
BOLTON HEARING LIVE ON C-SPAN 3.
Want to see if the MSM puts up the Kerry Q & A!

Chris Matthews? No, Dana, I'm a flaming lib in a tutu, Millbank.
He makes a living writing articles we can tag with barf alert.

What hilarious wishful thinking by Dana!
Every neo con I have talked to today has talked about what a hilarious hoot the hearings were.
Bolton was playing chess
The Senate was as usual playing checkers-- what a bunch of incompetent goons.

The fool who authored this pap obviously thinks if we had left Saddam in power, the U.N. would actually be serious about taking on Iran and North Korea.
What a positively ignorant jackass.

Three hours into the dreary and desultory proceedings of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, a torrent of water began to pour from light fixtures in the ceiling, creating a waterfall between the nominee and the senators.
[...]
As it happens, the cascade provided a fitting coda for a hearing in which both sides seemed to be suggesting that the administration's foreign policy -- at least the one unveiled during President Bush's first term -- was all washed up. Behold. Your hero. Dana Milbank. Doing what he does best. Reporting without bias or spin.

I watched the rerun until Dodd spoke (lincoln chaffee almost done me in), I became ill and changed channels. I couldn't stand listening to anymore RATS.

To: Gondring
Leave it to Milbank to paint a pipe dream of a caricature of an imaginary "neocon agenda" and then to declare it dead. Does he believe that wishful thinking will make it happen?

Dana Milbank is the freak that appeared on MSNBC in an orange hunter's vest after the VP's hunting accident. He is a partisan clown.
To: Gondring
He's speaking Senatese, he doesn't believe any of that garbage.
Pray for W and Our Troops

Gee, Milbank didn't include what an ass the democrats made of themselves.
First, Obama made an idiot out of himself. I'd gone out but read on the thread that he kept insisting that Bolton said something and Bolton kept insisting he didn't. It seems the intellectual lightweight named Obama doesn't know the difference between a statement from Josh Bolten and John Bolton.
Then Kerry - oh - I wish you'd heard Kerry. At one point Kerry was mentioning something about the North Korean resolution and Kerry kept telling Bolton it didn't mean what Bolton said it meant. This is the verbatim exchange:
Kerry: No it didn't (mean that).
Bolton: Yes it did.
Kerry: No it didn't.
Bolton: Yes it did
Kerry: No it didn't
Bolton: Yes it did
Kerry: It did?
Bolton: It did.
I was on the floor laughing so hard I got hiccups. Then Kerry said (about North Korea) "Why don't you do bilateral negotiations the way the Clinton administration did?" And Bolton replied: "Very poorly, I'd say. They violated the agreement from the very start". Dead silence from Kerry.

Steele's been all over talk radio today, admitting that he made a major mistake. "Poor judgement" is the word he used on Laura Ingraham.
Milbank, whom I cannot stand, is not in the business of misquoting people.

What was revealed was that the Arab states wanted Saddam left in power to serve as a counterweight to Iran and that the Europeans wanted to remove the sanctions that would prevent Saddam from getting HIS bomb and HIS missles.
