CSPAN...Kucinich asked Bolton flat out if there are troops in Iran

[JohnnyRingo]

He dodged the question by saying that "I'm with the State Dept, not the DoD", refusing to commit one way or the other.

DK pointed out that Bolton said that Hersh's claims of US involvement in Iran is "a work of fiction", and wondered why he can't comment now one way or the other.

Tune in CSPAN now if you aren't already.

1. Arrogant bastard.

I don't know about everyone else, but frankly, I'm getting tired of these evil, maniacal rat bastards telling us all to F*CK OFF every time they get the chance. These assholes must be stopped.

[burythehatchet]

8. AS Jon Stewart labeled him

Villainous Dog Catcher

[JohnnyRingo]

16. Hard to believe Bolton lists "diplomat" on his resume'

Diplomacy and tact seems his weakest suit.

[AndyTiedye]

18. It Is the Arrogance of Absolute Power

They don't care what we think. They don't have to. They have taken over.

2. What hearing is this or what committee is meeting?

Kucinich is fearless. :patriot:

7. Thank you for feeding the cube rat! n/t

[tanyev]

3. Careful, Dennis, or he's agonna pull out his 6 shooter

and BLOOOOW your head off.

[redqueen]

4. We need more like Kucinich...

Many more.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

9. We need more Congressional Districts like Kucinich's

that allow their representatives to be fearless without having to face losing their job.

[redqueen]

10. Huh?

Are you saying he has a higher number of politically aware people in his district... or what?

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

12. I'm saying he has a higher number of solid Democrats in his district.

He could say or do nearly anything and not face consequences.

[redqueen]

13. Aha... well with HIM up there that's a good thing...

I'd say there are some Dems in congress who could stand a primary challenge...

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

14. No doubt

It's just extremely difficult to call someone fearless when they have absolutely no consequences to face, especially around here on DU with regards to our Congressmen. Wellstone was fearless because his re-election was not even close to a sure thing.

[alfredo]

20. You know Kucinich's seat is not that secure. His numbers has

suffered to some degree.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

23. Oh yeah, I'm sure he's really sweating out that 20% victory margin he had.

Are you fucking kidding me? The guy wins by at least 20% and you're trying to tell me he's not that secure? :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

[alfredo]

26. Take a look at this DU thread

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=2593879


Actually it is his brother, not Dennis. DK will do just fine.


I will always be in his debt for his standing up for us voting machine activist. I was the one that informed him about the bush junta threatening to use the Patriot Act against us.

The threats stopped.

[AndyTiedye]

30. But It's OHIO! No Democrat is Safe From the RED SHIFT

5. I hope that someone can get a link to the speach!

[Jeanette in FL]

11. There is no doubt in my mind, there are troops in Iran

The way Bolton laughed when the question was put to him by Kucinich. Then Bolton when on to say that he would not comment on troops in Iran, nor would he speculate about troops in Iran and then he said the part about "I'm with the State Dept., not the DoD". Just the way he danced around the question, not answering, leaves me with the feeling that we are in Iran. Oh my.

[kittenpants]

22. Yeah, his reply doesn't exactly set my mind at ease.

Not that I would have believed a denail by him either, but the fact that he dodged the question is pretty suspect.

[bdamomma]

28. with these thugs there are troops in Iran now

now Iran is saying if the US does anything rash they (Iran) will retailiate againist Israel, now just for curiousity sake what is Israel saying about all this???

[w8liftinglady]

32. Mine either..judging from things I have heard from military

about retrieving vehicles in syria and iran

[simonm]

15. Do you feel a draft?

Here comes population control, AKA the draft.

[jazzjunkysue]

35. 15 minutes after we have the draft we'll have immediate citizenship for me

mexicans. Welcome to america. You pull this trigger. Good luck.

[BlooInBloo]

17. Shoulda prefaced it with "To the best of your personal knowledge..."

To make it harder for the jackass to wiggle outta the question.

[crikkett]

19. Is it possible to impeach Bolton?

Isn't he a recess appointment, anyway?

[Marie26]

21. I think he's out after the 2006 election, right?

Can't wait.

[bdamomma]

29. but he (Bolton) is setting us up for the Iran confrontation

then he can go back to his hole.

[IndyOp]

24. GOP Setting Kucinich Up - Stealing Election!! Will we lose Dennis?

GOP setting up Dennis Kucinich for a stolen election:

25. "There might be, we have no clue what the DoD does"

I suppose this strengthens the case for incompetence theory...

:sarcasm:

[marla101]

34. I love that picture!

n/t

[marla101]

31. Since when is incompetence an excuse?

Bolton just kept saying "I don't know" "I wasn't involved"
How the F**K did he get the job then?

Kucinich was excellent. He offered to walk Hersh's article over so Bolton could read it but Bolton couldn't be bothered....

Didn't congress use to grill people in hearings? This was one hour, totally controlled by Shays who let Dennis speak 2 times and then changed the subject. No wonder the Bush Administration is getting away with murder...literally.

I have a hard time trusting waxman too. I use to trust him until I found out he co-sponsored the "Iran Freedom Support Act". :wtf: And Conyer's voted for it too! I just don't get that!

[jazzjunkysue]

36. I heard Dennis with Randi and it's scary: He said we're in Iran right now

just as we were in Iraq before anyone knew it.

He said this will be just like Iraq.

I'm thinking, except the Iranians will die defending their freedom from us and their religion.

We're gonna have lots of dead americans, and that's gonna be for generations if we don't stop the anti christ now.

Impeach.

[lovuian]

37. Mr.Bolten "Do you know where your troops are???"

That he refuses to comment kinda says YES!!!

[Festivito]

38. Anyone care that Sec of State does not know what the DoD is doing?

Isn't that disturbing?
Isn't that a breakdown of government?
