Bolton's Remarks on Iran

Going to "the mattresses" it seems or at least to Chapter 7, note the America hating, Jew hating, reporter - not sure which weekly she was from.

Reporter: Sir, you’ve talked quite often about the credibility of the U.N., and it seems that...

Ambassador Bolton: And so has Secretary Rice recently.

Reporter: Yes, and Rice has, as well.  But that seems to work in your favor when they do what you want them to. But you violated the U.N. Charter when you went to war against Iraq, and you consistently lied to us about the reasons that we went to war.  And this war was drawn up in Herzliya, Israel, in 1996 with the Project for a New American Century. And, you know, why do you have credibility other than that you’ve just got the biggest guns?

Ambassador Bolton: Can I ask what media outlet you’re from?

Reporter: Muslims Weekly.

Ambassador Bolton: I see.  We did not violate the U.N. Charter in the war to overthrow Saddam Hussein. And that plan was not drawn up at Herzliya at the Project for a New American Century.

Reporter: (inaudible)

Ambassador Bolton: Okay, well, then perhaps you can refer them to somebody.

Reporter: When you make the case for the Chapter 7 resolution, which requires threats to peace, what is the case you will make?

Ambassador Bolton: I think that the evidence of Iran’s efforts to acquire a nuclear weapons, its extensive program to achieve a ballistic missile capability of longer and longer range and greater accuracy, constitutes a classic threat to international peace and security, especially when combined with Iran's long status as the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism.  The purpose of acting under Chapter 7 is to invoke the mandatory compliance features of Chapter 7, which, as a resolution of the Security Council under Chapter 7, would be binding on all U.N. members. Therefore, it’s not a matter of discretion for Iran. They have to comply or the Security Council is free to take other steps.

The War in Iraq wasn't drawn up in Israel in 1996, it was drawn up in early 2002 by me and some guys I play basketball with at our local bar.

Pamela,

Grab your self a video capture card and you won't have to worry about the phone or any other noise when recording. It'll grab the video and record to your harddisk as mpeg video. From there, upload to your fav video site. I use the Hauppauge WinTV- PVR 150. You can get it for around $100 bucks, maybe less if on sale and rebates like I did. Ended up being $60. You can get others for less, but quality may suffer.

Oh and it'll eliminate the glare, too. haha

[Pamela Geller]

raz0r, thanks for the tech tip. Couple of steps in there that are a tad beyond me but I'm woikin' on it.

[The Cranky Insomniac]

Damn, lowandslow, why don't you just tell Dana Priest while you're at it?

These leaks have got to stop...

[Fanusi Khiyal]

Are you kidding about using a video capture card? Personally, I really enjoyed the "WooHoo" cry. We could do with a little comedy now.

If we're going, I'm going happy.
