Charlie Rose

The record shows that the agencies Negroponte passed through embraced his departure and encourage others to not recycle his strategies. Certainly the intelligence community has long severed ties with his legacy of stunted sloganeering and falsified prioritization.

You have Good Quality tastes sir/maam. Btw what's an Amway? Also, what do you perceive as taking care of business?

tartufe, that's complete and utter nonsense. You're zany opinions only stir the pot when to brings together this great country. I don't care if you're liberal or conservative or independent or whatever. If doesn't matter which side you belong if the USA doesn't come together to take care of business. It's the same ole same ole fear and devastation of the liberals in control faux news and you know the names that perpetuate this sinister craze since Nov. are doing the opposite sadly. With the recently surge of not so sound mind folk going on a killing free-for-all have nothing to do w/ Beck, Hanity, Bill'O, and the blondes, etc. Their hands are clean for the not so stable who go out and kill numerous innocent people for no good reason. Ruining their own families plus the victims and family of victims. After all, Obama number one plan is to take away your guns, didn't you know that? Yeah, and I have some Amway perfect for you, tartufe.

It's blatantly obvious. Preemptive nuking of Iran and N. Korea is imperative and the sooner the better. Any FOOL should be able to see this. Damned milquetoast liberals will doom us to a fiery perdition. May they rot in the hell they fatuously think they are avoiding - all the while paving the way.

Doesn't it make more sense to attempt to gain the Iranians' and other Islamic theocrats respect, regardless of nuclear weapons? The Iranians seem to me to offer a way out of this and perhaps we should embrace it, and in the bargain maybe find a way out of the Palestinian impasse. Thus I was happy to hear that we have made some overtures in that direction, and also, btw, to Cuba. These were long overdue.

I have to ask John why, if he felt we were pre-mature in attacking Saddam Hussein, despite one year of warnings by Bush, he simply didn't resign? Now that he no longer is employed by the USA, he is opening up? But if you listen carefully, he wasn't against our incursion to free 25m Iraqis or bring down the Saddam regime, only the time table. Saddam could have at any time, proven he didn't have those WMD (probably shipped to Syria per several informants, or Libya or buried in the vast desert). We all that Saddam was playing a double game. 1 trillion dollars later, 4200 dead GIs, over 40,000 wounded, (and countless Iraqis), we are STILL there, in force. We will be there until at least 2011. The math says, from March 2003 to, let's say September 2011, that's over 8 years (or longer than our involvement in WW2). A neo-con advocate of the war wrote that we invaded Iraq to avoid future 911s. We did.

Can anyone imagine if Al Qaeda, or a support group did in fact explode an anthrax or smallpox bomb on one of our coasts. It is estimated that over 1m would be casualties (we had no defense).

With respect to China, the Koreas, Japan, the M.E., the arch of the main trouble from the W. Bk to Afghanistan, he had nothing new to say..just a history lesson.

He was wrong however on one point. The most dangerous place on the planet is between Hamastan (Gaza Strip) and Tehran. Iran, according to the NYTimes has enough enriched uranium

for 1 bomb..and should have 10 times that after it's 60 centrifuges are going full blast., perhaps in 2-3 years.

Then all hell will break out.

We, (US) have a contingency plan to send over 10,000 troops

into Pakistan to secure their nukes, according to my sources (see Internet sites).

The North Korean orbital attempt fizzled out? Oh come on.

All they need is a little more research and tests and guess what, our West Coast will be their target.

I would have asked him what we intend to do about the above?

Charlie Rose spoke about a "Grand plan". What in heavens

name is he talking about? All these problems are only interrelated by the goals of the Jihadists..to destroy everything we hold dear. That's the simple fact.

To John: You should have spoken up sooner...like a man,

not a diplomat. WW2 was started while we were discussing

mutual concerns with Japan, remember?

Sure, you should engage, talk and foster diplomacy..assuming

the other side is not Jong, Assad, Ahmad, Chavez or Castro.

Nothing says we have to talk to everyone. If so, why not

begin with Bin Ladin, our real enemy?
