I was watching an interview this morning with one of Bush’s former douchebag appointments, John Bolton. The interview was on Al Jazeera, no less. Bolton was our ambassador to the U.N. for a mercifully brief period of time. He had the great brain damage to say that complaining about the US actions in Iraq is like complaining that our response to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor escalated the violence in World War II. ?!?!?!?! Soooo – Saddam Hussein, by just existing, was as dangerous to our country as a physical attack by a foreign country? Not only does this insult the memory of all who died at Pearl Harbor (and maybe the entire Pacific theater of the war), but it also makes all those Neo-Cons look like such wussies. I mean, they seem to be afraid of EVERYBODY. If you really believe America is all-powerful, then you wouldn’t have to going around trumpeting it all the time. Instead, their entire foreign policy chops seems to be – “America is Number One and if you don’t agree we’ll kick your ass.” This shows an intense amount of insecurity, if you ask me. And, of course, generates a ton of would-be Number Ones to come gunning for us. (I thought these jerks watched Westerns. Don’t they know about Robert and Charlie Ford?)

This genius also said that there “was no way to possibly foresee” that the centuries old ethnic tensions in Iraq would flare up with Saddam gone.

Folks, I give you John Bolton – Douchebag.
