Bolton: "Beyond the Axis of Evil"
John R. Bolton
On May 6, 2002, then-Undersecretary of State John R. Bolton gave a speech entitled "Beyond the Axis of Evil". In it he added three more nations to be grouped with the already mentioned rogue states: Cuba, Libya, and Syria. The criteria for inclusion in this grouping were: "state sponsors of terrorism that are pursuing or who have the potential to pursue weapons of mass destruction (WMD) or have the capability to do so in violation of their treaty obligations". The speech was widely reported as an expansion of the original axis of evil.

(975 posts)in 2016, but he is going to have to explain many things. To us Vietnam veterans he will have to explain this quote...........
"Bolton supported the Vietnam War but enlisted in the Maryland Army National Guard to avoid being sent overseas, and consequently did not serve in Vietnam. He wrote in his Yale 25th reunion book " I confess I had no desire to die in a Southeast Asian rice paddy. I considered the war in Vietnam already lost." So the "man" was a coward then and is a coward now, why should I believe anything he says. He had decided as early as 1970 to be a chickenhawk.

Syria has been added?
What happened to Iran and North Korea? They were in Bush's "Axis of Evil". They got dropped?
Is the "Axis of Evil" a flavor of the month type thing?
"Axis of Evil" appears to come in sets of three.
Sort of like Italy, Germany, and Japan.
Hence the "Axis" I suppose.
Has a nice propagandist ring to it. "Axis of Evil"
Here is mine:
ALEC, Tea Party, Koch Brothers.
Bolton comes from that ilk. He is a member of my "Axis of Evil"
