Oh Lord - Bolton is encouraging countries to pull out of non-proliferation

[FormerRepublican]

"NEW YORK (Reuters) - The U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton said on Wednesday the way India and Pakistan had obtained nuclear arms was legitimate, in contrast to Iran which he accused of pursuing atomic weapons in violation of its international undertakings.

While Iran is seeking to conceal development of nuclear weapons under the guise of a legitimate program to generate nuclear power, Bolton said, India and Pakistan "did it legitimately."

His comments, made in response to an audience question following a speech to a meeting of the World Jewish Congress, appeared to go farther than the administration of President George W. Bush has previously gone in embracing the two nations' nuclear programs.

They also coincide with a visit by Bush to India in which the United States is offering New Delhi de facto recognition of its nuclear arms program. Bush is due to travel to Pakistan from India."

It amazes me how much the Bush Administration can screw up EVERYTHING without even trying!

2. Screwing things up the Bush Crime Family way is good for business.

Their business.

Treason.

War.

Mass murder.

Assassination.

Slavery.

Blackmail.

Thievery.

Bush, Cheney, Bolton and their Satanic masters all helped Dr. A.Q. Khan get what he needed -- from finance to materials to know-how -- to build the Pakistani bomb.

They outted Valerie Plame and Brewster Jennings and Associates, destroying all their work to stop the spread of nukes.

And they thought -- probably still think -- they'll get away with it.

4. So if Iran just says "We're building a nuclear weapon" they'll be okay?

Somehow I doubt it.

Ye Gods these people are shameless.

5. This is an odd thing to say

While Iran is seeking to conceal development of nuclear weapons under the guise of a legitimate program to generate nuclear power, Bolton said, India and Pakistan "did it legitimately."

The implication being that it's okay for a country to arm itself if it's "up front" about it? We shouldn't worry about dangerous countries like Pakistan and N. Korea arming themselves because they came right out and said they would do it?

Uh...right.

This is just more Neocon grist to support their own agenda for dismantling US arms treaties.
