Taunted and jeered, Bolton bolted from Oxford Email Print

It seems as if Ambassador John Bolton went to Oxford University and wanted to hold his lecture to Neocon talking points, it seems as if he needed his security detail to escort him out of the building when his spiel was not well received.

"Facing an increasingly hostile group of law students in an Oxford seminar that had somehow gone dreadfully wrong, beads of sweat began to pop out on John Bolton's furrowed brow. Amidst a rising chorus of taunts, jeers, hisses and outright denunciations, Bolton was swiftly surrounded by his entourage of three American security agents and whisked out the door of the seminar room at Oriel College on Friday, the 9th of June."

"Pursued by vocal recriminations from angry and frustrated American students who led the incisive questioning and the equally incisive jeering -- with taunts like, "You should be doing a better job!" Bolton bolted. He turned sharply on his heel and took flight out the door and then fled down the mediaeval passageway and into the relative safety and calm of his bullet-proof diplomatic limousine, Bolton swiftly headed out of Oxford, rudely foregoing the well-established tradition of lingering to talk with interested members of the audience.

Bolton's swift exit contrasted sharply with Oxford appearances by two other American politicians earlier this term. Both John Podesta and Richard Perle enjoyed lingering for discussions with Oxford audiences after their talks. John Bolton would have none of it, and the reason was obvious. Throughout the questioning, the audience became increasingly hostile and combative towards his neoconservative agenda."

Where exactly did Ambassador Bolton think he was giving this talk? Oxford College is a school for people that think outside the box, these are not the type of people that will sit still while you feed them "talking points". It seems when they got past his memorized talking points he got out of Dodge,

My question is that a man that is playing on this level of international politics, can not handle a room full of international law students, why is he America's voice at the United Nations?

As an American military veteran I do not understand running from a conversation, just because you appear to be losing the debate, he was appointed to the position to extend the neocon version of life to the United Nations, I hope they are paying more attention to him there, than these up and coming future leaders did, or is it maybe they are all finally waking up that the neocon version of the world, is not one the majority of the world's citizens want nor wish to emulate. Hey even 69% of Americans have become disillusioned over the grand PNAC plan 6 years into it.

Scroll down past the Democratic story and look for Mission Accomplished: It seesm that WAPO feels PNAC is winding down operations.

It seems even that PNAC is closing it's doors and slinking back into the woodwork so the next generation will be in place in think tanks and positions to emerge back to power when Republicans return one day, much the same as Rumsfeld, Cheney, Kissinger and other Nixon Alumnus have, they have now trained a new generation of neocons that have federal level  experience that will lead the future advance of the neocons.
