"If it seems it's so, it ain't!" Please come CAPTION Fox's John Bolton!!!



John ("Joseph Goebbels had it easy&quot Bolton is saying: "It's just like I've been saying all along, Greta, the sanctions against Iran were bound to fail. . . . Now we have incontrovertible proof of their failure!!! . . . President Hassan Rouhani's recent overtures toward so-called peace is clear evidence that the Iranians do not want peace, they want the exact opposite: war. . . . So he's stringing along the gullible American President until Iran has nuclear weapons. . . . Can anything be more obvious. . . . Sanctions, as I've said all along, simply will not and cannot work! . . . I'll lay my reputation on that fact."


*******************************************

Above CAPTION based on he following Fox News story:

John Bolton's reputation - HAH!!!!

He even lost credibility with Dubya, one of his erstwhile fans ... http://thinkprogress.org/politics/2008/08/31/28396/bush-bolton-credible/

And his predictions are always so spot on. http://hotair.com/archives/2012/01/20/john-bolton-lets-face-it-romneys-the-conservative-who-can-beat-obama/

But such piffle won't stop Mr Gasbag. He dreams big - even looking towards the Presidency, according to some.

“After that, I sat back and thought that if I had the chance, I had to do something more for my party and my country than idly watching as the debate on foreign policy and America’s role in the world devolves into these bumper-sticker slogans, or veers toward the isolationist undercurrent that’s growing,” he continues. “That means forming a political-action committee and a super PAC, hitting the road and speaking out, and looking into my own campaign, and I’m doing all of that.”

For now, Bolton, officially speaking, is a one-man exploratory campaign, but he hopes to hire a small staff in the coming months. A few hires are already on his radar, but he declines to name them. “Bottom line, I’m going to play in 2014 races, testing whether a foreign-policy-focused political organization or candidacy can find a way to shape the national debate,” he says. The PACs don’t have names yet, but Bolton says he’s close to finalizing what he wants to call them, and is planning to do a rollout of sorts “after Labor Day,” in either September or October. “The money aspect, of course, is going to be critical,” he says. “I’m going to find out if there’s money out there to get behind a foreign-policy-focused effort that has the threat of international terrorism at the top of its lists, as well as the proliferation of chemical and biological weapons, the ongoing collapse of the Middle East, and the threats from Russia and China.”

Bolton has also grappled with issues beyond foreign policy, and strategized about how he could chart a narrow path to the nomination should his candidacy catch fire. “If I run, I’m going to be talking a lot about foreign policy, but I’m not going to be a single-issue candidate,” he says. “When I was thinking about this last time, I kept hearing from people that a single-issue campaign wouldn’t really work in the current political climate, and I’ve come to agree with that perspective. This fall, when I’m in places like Harrisburg, Penn., or Miami, I’m going to get into the broader problems that face the country and the Republican party.”

The CAPTION, of course, is creative. In yesterday's interview on Fox he conveniently didn't mention his past predictions on the failure of sanctions. The CAPTION was a reminder of the record that Bolton no doubt accidently omitted.

And no, they can't be shut down because Mel is a qualified carpenter and woodworker and does not advertise his products for anything other than typical woodworked products. "I cannot he held accountable for what some nut does with what I sell," Mel was quoted in the localFour-Corners Advertiser, "they can either toss them from a bridge or stick them to their head for all I care." The case was dismissed.
