Interesting that Mr. Bolton makes the news at all, but the back room operative of that "league of (self-appointed) extrardinary gentlemen" we call "neoconservatives" appears to garner the attention of the news despite being totally undeserving. He would be laughable caricature had he not been given real authority and high position through insider appointments. Mr. Bolton along with other "PNAC-ers" (Cheney, Rumsfeld, Libby, Wolfowitz, et al) successfully commandeered the GOP, then our Administration, and are continuing to do their zealous best to pursue their agenda of "Pax Americana.­" Being the Machiavell­ian-spirit­ed idealogues who they are, the above named appear to view themselves as irrefutably right, the rest of us irrefutably ignorant and/or misguided and in dire need of their enlighted leadership and vision. We are in dire need of their absence.

There were very good reasons why the 2005 Republican controlled Senate Foreign Relations Committee was unable to vote John Bolton out of committee when he was nominated for Secretary of the United Nations. He is outside the mainstream and his own behavior was rightly called into question.

Here, Bill Clinton was able to obtain the release of two young women allowing them to return to their families. Bolton has yet to explain what is wrong with that and how this has in any negative way impacted our relationship with NK.

Well, thank goodness Bolton is no longer US ambassador to the UN. What a terrible attitude he has! He'd probably rather go to war with a country than talk to them. Ignorant man.

Forgive him, Psychopaths can't relate to diplomacy.

I see Clinton was successful. So much for childish taunts vs. engagement.

It's called diplomacy. Perhaps if the republicans knew anything about it, they might still be in office.

Word. Bolton is sad b/c he wants to bomb both N.Korea and Iran. He's desperate to spin this GOOD NEWS. Let's see if the GOP echo-chamber repeats Bolton's BS.

Diplomacy.­.. Hmm maybe Bolton should have used some of that when he was the ambassador to the UN. Naww why start now?

John Bolton, The Moustache of Braggadocio, opines on things he knows nothing about, as usual. To no one's surprise, he again proves himself 120 per cent wrong (defying all laws of mathematics to do so). Someone buy him a pair of peppermint­-flavoured shoes, please. It seems he only opens his mouth to change feet.
