One would think that one rocky trip down the proverbial primrose path with Kim would have left our State Department lads with a keen determination not to have their affections toyed with again by any of the sweet nothings bandied by the Kimster. But, no, incurable romantics that they are (though a quality guaranteed to garner frissons of delight and endearment in all other situations), they seem here to have succumbed to group amnesia on the subject of Kim's cheatin' ways. When it comes to Kim, their hearts beat as one in trust and understanding, love is love and not fade away! Like Ms. Rosett, John Bolton does not see a happy outcome to the State Department's proposed remake of the Clinton stinker, "Promises, Promises", now retitled, "Crude at Heart", and to be followed, inevitably, in the Guiliani Administration by, "Who's Sorry Now?". In this morning's Washington Times, Bill Gertz reports Ambassador Bolton's assessment: <a href="http://www.washingtontimes.com/national/20070214-120013-3871r.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.washingtontimes.com/national/20070214-120013-3871r.htm</a> And this franchise has legs: The mullahs' script writers are hard at work in their fortified underground studio. President Ahmadinejad is getting ready for his close up..... Here we go again!

Evidently someone needs to buy him some new books. President Bush says he’s “learned the lessons of history” a lot.

He negotiates a deal with the devil, and sells it as <a href="http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/mod/1938PEACE.html" rel="nofollow">peace in our time</a>. There's a dark irony here . . . Hillary Clinton chides President Bush to solve the Iraq problem by the time he leaves office, that his successor won't be burdened with it. That's an impossible goal, and whoever follows Mr. Bush will have to deal with Iraq. Yet Mr. Bush's failure to "solve Iraq" before he leaves office won't endanger the world nearly as much as these "successful" negotiations with the NoKors will. Or so I believe.
