Pamela Interviews John Bolton On Voices Of Freedom 1100 AM KFNX Phoenix

Pamela Geller's excellent interview with Ambassador John Bolton on KFNX Radio-1100 Phoenix has Bolton echoing my post of August 9th 2008, down to my observations about the Administration's pre-occupation with volleyball,while Georgia was being pillaged. My article was deemed to be "too provacative" for the blogosphere, and was, with the exception of the New Media Journal, Canada Free Press, and Babbazee's Spleen........totally ignored.

I could care less about partisan politics...especially when the parties involved are modelled after those of the Soviet Union. Bolton got the message out.....that is all that matters.

Bolton for President!

A Splendid Diversion
While the World Watches the Olympic Games


By Michael Travis

Overshadowed by the dazzling spectacle of the Olympic games in Beijing, the aftermath of the all out war between Russia and Georgia has received scant coverage and analysis in the North American media. America's enemies however, have forsaken the broadcasts of table-tennis, sprinters in hijabs, and competitive line-dancing, to give their undivided attention to what they view as far better sport; the defeat of "Team America" at the hand of the undisputed champion of international discord, Russia.Georgia Map

According to the Red Cross, Georgian and Ossetian civilians are seeking safe haven in Turkey, a move that has caused the Turkish government to reassess its stalled bid for NATO membership.

In a week that has seen General David Petraeus pledging more military equipment and specialized training for the Hizballah-dominated Lebanese government, U.S. State Dept. negotiations with the Iranian leadership in Geneva, and Presidential kow-towing to the Communist regime in China, you can bet the bank that Japan, Taiwan, Israel, and Eastern Europe's new NATO members, are becoming very nervous indeed.

Nonetheless, the United States and Poland has signed an agreement to deploy a U.S. missile defence system on their territory, to which Vladimir Putin has responded with threats of military retaliation.PutinGeorgia

Under advisement from the U.S. State Department, and U.S. military advisors on the ground in Tbilisi, the Georgian government has signed a French-U.S. brokered ceasefire agreement. Russia's response has been to move deeper into Georgian territory, establishing encampments and checkpoints throughout the vanquished nation.

While Russia perceives the United States to be a paper tiger, averse to defending its friends and allies, the Russian bear remains a power without equal, able to impose its will upon any and all foes. The Political Correctness, and subservience to the agenda of a Globalist "International Community" that is the cornerstone of U.S. Foreign policy, has provided fresh stimulus for Russia's quest to reclaim its position as a world power to be accommodated and feared.

Lasha Zhvania, head of the Georgian Parliament's Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, has likened the Russian war against Georgia to "Tisha B'Av," the historic destruction of the first and second Jewish Temples, and "the saddest day in Jewish history." Tisha B'Av set the stage for almost 2,000 years of expulsions, persecution and genocide against the Jewish people. In an era that sees an ambitious Russian government once again aligned with some of history's most bloodthirsty regimes and Islamic movements, Zhvania's observation should be taken very seriously.

As Jews fasted on this last 9th day of Av (Sunday, 9 August 2008) and the American President joined the "Global Village" in watching a volleyball game, the brutal forces of tyranny and violence consolidated their hold on humanity.

In the Philippines, Islamic fighters with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front are fighting pitched battles within Christian villages in the autonomous North Cotabato province.MILF As blood flows across Mindanao, 130,000 Christians have fled their homes, and the MILF are demanding their own, sovereign, Islamic Republic.

At the Olympics, sports fans cheered on their swim teams as American tourists were murdered in the streets of Beijing. Despite a brutal campaign of repression waged outside the Olympic venues, the "International Community" has managed to bow ever more deeply to the Communist regime in China.

Beirut The de facto Hizballah government in Lebanon can hardly contain their excitement as they await the delivery of more U.S. Military equipment to add to its already burgeoning arsenal of Iranian and Russian weaponry. With surface to surface, surface to air, and anti-ship missile emplacements in operation, Iran's proxy army is prepared to launch devastating attacks against Israeli population centers. The new American weapons can be considered frosting on the Lebanese terrorist's cake.

Iran of course is in the final stages of preparation for a nuclear attack against Israel, and quite likely, the United States as well.

Georgia? It's in flames. And the world stands at the precipice of global conflagration. But, hey! The U.S. Team won over 90 medals as of today!Olympics

At this point in time, the United States lacks clearly stated foreign policy, backed by a determined military command. Political Correctness and public relations considerations have revealed an Administration in disarray, with undefined priorities. Without a convincing display of solidarity with our allies, America's reputation will be tarnished beyond repair.

With the demise of our perceived credibility and the loss of our traditional sphere of influence, attacks against U.S. interests abroad, and terror operations on American soil seem inevitable. Negotiating with terrorists and enabling despotic regimes under the dubious banner of "Democratization" has put American lives in peril and set the stage for more regional conflicts.

Remember, Russia, Iran and Lebanon are all "vibrant democracies," yet they represent America's deadliest enemies.

'Remember, Russia, Iran and Lebanon are all "vibrant democracies,"'..what's he smoking?

Yes and the USSR was a people's republic.

While I'd support Bolton in a flash, we all need to recognize that certain people like him and Newt are just too electric and would generate more opposition than support. I don't get why, but I know it's true.

Epa,
I didn't hear the interview, so I don't know the context, but the fact is, Iran, Russia, and Lebanon, as well as Gaza, are all Democracies.

One of the tragedies of the Bush years (and I'm still waiting to hear some politician put it as simply as I do based upon my 8th grade civics class) is that

WHEN WE IN THE WEST SAY "DEMOCRACY"

WE MEAN A DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC WITH A CONSTITUTION WHICH PROTECTS HUMAN RIGHTS -

BY DEMOCRACY, WE DO NOT SIMPLY MEAN EVERYONE GETS TO VOTE.

Hell, if I'm not mistaken, Iran even has an elaborate Constitution protecting Human Rights as Islam understands them.

So, I'm guessing Bolton was being satirical in his words.

But, the point should be simply made, because if it isn't, even people with educations at Harvard and Yale (even Natan Sharansky - the prophet of our time) seem to miss it.

And, if Bolton and Newt can't take us back to the simple, then we need to find someone else.

We need a new Lincoln, I guess.

The USSR and Saddam had votes as well.

Nations in which the selection of candidates prior to election is:

1) Utterly controlled CONSTITUTIONALLY by a ulema cannot be considered democracies (Iran)


2) Limited by non investigated murders in the streets cannot be considered democracies (Lebanon)

3) Limited by facile imprisonment, and official impoverishment of opposition cannot be considered democracies (Russia)

Ironically, Gaza comes closer to representing the will of their people (IMHO) than any of the other 3, demonstrating the exception to the democracies don't fight each other rule.

There will be no new Lincoln. What there might be is an event, or a grinding away at americans which makes it clear that Bolton and Newt GET IT

Pastorius said...

Reagan was, in his way, a new Lincoln. Bolton would have to rise a bit, from his current level, to get there.

Thus far, I have never heard anything out of Bolton which inspires a positive vision. He certainly understands the problem, but the unique thing about Lincoln and Reagan were that they articulated the solution via a return to our founding priciples.

Maybe Newt, but his temperment is iffy.
