TOP TEN TALKING POINTS FOR FILIBUSTER OF JOHN BOLTON NOMINATION
10) You cannot eat your Yellow Cake and have it too, even if it’s your party!
09) Has our entangling alliance with the Zionist state caused our Congress to relinquish its duty "To define and punish
Piracies and Felonies committed on the high Seas, and Offenses against the Law of Nations" (Article I, Section 8) with respect
to the USS Liberty? In the face of such dereliction of duty, the USS Liberty survivors made a formal presentation of war crimes
against the Zionist state at the Pentagon on 8 June 2005, the 38th anniversary of the attack on their ship.

08) Given the Bush Administration’s policy of force and fraud, will the Iranians just sit back and wait for a heavy
dose of "shock and awe" or will they, with their array of supersonic cruise missiles, take preemptive measures in self defense?
Would such defensive measures lead to the decisive defeat of our public and private forces in Iraq?
07) Has United States foreign policy evolved from the Monroe Doctrine to the Giancanna Doctrine to, finally, the Rudyard-in-a-Box
Doctrine, or the Last Ultimatum?
06) What would the intercourse have been like had John Bolton and Rudyard Kipling ever met?
05) Is it true that President Bush will snub the United Nations on the occasion of its 60th anniversary on 26
June 2005? If so, are the sentiments behind such deplorable behavior consistent with those that prompted the nomination of
John Bolton to represent the USA at the UN? Do we want the UN to work? What does the Constitution say about our treaty obligations?
(Article VI)
04) Someone please answer Udday Hussein’s question, even if the answer comes from Hell: "Why destroy Iraqi water
treatment facilities?"
03) Let’s have a video presentation of the Indian Navy’s test-firing of the BrahMos supersonic cruise missile
on 15 April 2005. The target - a decommissioned Indian Navy ship - was pulverized. I repeat: Pulverized! You cannot see the
missile itself as it goes three times the speed of sound. Our young men in the Arabian Gulf would have small consolation if
they knew the Iranian missiles travel at only twice the speed of sound.
02) Why can’t we see those 9/11 video surveillance tapes of all the passengers boarding those ill-fated flights of
9/11 at Boston’s Logan International Airport and at Newark’s Liberty International Airport? Why can’t we
see them? Why can’t our journalists ask, Why can’t we see them?
01) With the testimonies of former Secretary of the Treasury Paul O’Neill and of former UN weapons inspector Scott
Ritter (among others) as well as the recently disclosed "Downing Street Memo" which reveals that US intelligence was being
fixed to suit the policy of the Bush Administration, don’t we already have enough evidence to charge President Bush
and his advisors with waging an unjustified, immoral, illegal, unnecessary and ill-advised war against Iraq? Should Bush be
impeached, or should he await his turn to use the pay phone to talk to his lawyer from the Hague?
