I don't think you can paint Bolton as an ideologe, neocon or what ever . . . Rather just a cynical opportunist . . . the worst sort of Cheneyite toady/bottom feeder . . . he was Cheney's spy in Colin Powell's State Dept . . . he's been around a long time . . . His prominence is due to what??. . . His predictions have all been wrong . . . his promoted policies all would have been disasters . . . Yet here he has been all these years . . . and, most importantly, is at this moment in time . . . a reflection of the powers behind him . . . a sort of clown . . . Cheneyism in terminal trajectory . . .
