Bush Flubs Navy Aid Claim, Forgets Turkey
At-Largely — ... (Meanwhile, the idiot John Bolton compares Nicholas Sarkozy of France to Neville Chamberlain because Sarko actually - gasp - negotiated a ceasefire, says Bush was an appeaser himself and throws his hat entirely into Mccain's "armed confrontation with Russia" ring. What a surprise. Imagine if Bush had managed to get this guy confirmed as US ambassador to the UN. Thankfully, he's been consigned to ranting in the UK's Telegraph and other media shills for the neoconservative movement.) ...

Bolton: “The United States fiddled while Georgia burned”
Hot Air » Top Picks — Bolton: “The United States fiddled while Georgia burned” posted at 1:15 pm on August 15, 2008 by Allahpundit Send to a Friend | printer-friendly A hard tonic that mixes only too well, unfortunately, with reports like this one of Bush “writing checks to the Georgians without knowing what he had in the bank,” as one senior U.S. official put it. As bad as the bloodying of Georgia is, the broader consequences are worse. The United States fiddled while Georgia burned, not even reaching the right rhetorical level in its public statements until three days ...

What Would Obama Do About the Russia/Georgia Conflict?
Stop The ACLU — ... defense review is not used to justify unnecessary spending… …I will set a goal of a world without nuclear weapons… …and to seek that goal, I will not develop nuclear weapons… …I will seek a global ban on the production of fissile material… …and I will negotiate with Russia to take our ICBMs off hair-trigger alert… …and to achieve deep cuts in our nuclear arsenals… Isn’t it time for someone who covers politics for a living to ask Obama about this credo? Meanwhile, John Bolton admonishes how Bush handled it. The United States fiddled while Georgia burned, not even reaching the ...

WHAT BUSH SHOULD DO ABOUT RUSSIA: GIVE THEM A DIPLOMATIC ULTIMATUM
THE ASTUTE BLOGGERS — Bush should announce that if Russia fails to withdraw all their troops to Russia in 48 hours, that they will be kicked out of the UNSC, G8, NATO (where they have a special seat), and the WTO (accession process). If these organizations fail to expel Russia then we will withdraw. This would send the most powerful message possible without a military threat. If the UN and NATO can't respond properly and in consensus to this crisis then they are not worth shit. FOR A COOLER RESPONSE TO THE CRISIS READ THIS - BY A MAN KNOWN FOR HIS COOLNESS: JOHN BOLTON.

John Bolton Chimes In: After Russia’s Invasion Of Georgia, What Now For The West?

Strong Horse…Weak Horse…Dead Horse…
Daily Pundit — John Bolton: After Russia’s invasion of Georgia, what now for the West? - Telegraph As bad as the bloodying of Georgia is, the broader consequences are worse. The United States fiddled while Georgia burned, not even reaching the right rhetorical level in its public statements until three days after the Russian invasion began, and not, at least to date, matching its rhetoric with anything even approximating decisive action. This pattern is the very definition of a paper tiger. Sending Secretary of State Condeleezza Rice to Tbilisi is touching, but ...

Two Good Columnists on Russia
The Sundries Shack — ... surely defeatism will. Whoever is right or wrong, the critics say, we can’t do anything about it… There’s something odd about listening to European governments speak about the futility of diplomacy. They are the ones who usually insist that military force alone can achieve little and who say that diplomacy must be given a chance. But now they seem to say that, since we can’t stop Russia militarily, there is nothing else we can do. John Bolton also waded into the fray and brought his estimable foreign policy know-how with ...

John Bolton: America Fiddled While Georgia Burned
