Stossel definitely didn't agree with Bolton, he just brought him in as someone to represent the pro-war side of the debate.

Another version of the video made the frontpage of Breitbart.tv but the link to the video doesn't work anymore. The comments are absolutely hysterical!

Apparently I didn't serve, and the fact that my hair has grown over 4 inches in the last two and a half years is evidence, lol. Oh, the other possibilities they've come up with are that I'm either lying, gay, or a leftist plant. Neo-cons crack me up! So desperate to ignore the facts and justify the wars. In a sick, disturbing way, this guy's comment is my favorite:

"The solution to our problems with the "crazy" Muslims is...we start a TV channel that runs 24/7 showing nothing but burning Korans.

Then...when the non-peaceful Muslims show themselves in the streets, protesting the TV channel, we 'light them up' with our drones, wiping the whole bunch of them out with one rocket.

Knowing full well that none of the "peaceful Muslims" will be in the streets.

We continue with this day and night...day after day...showing the TV channel with nothing but burning Korans, and every time the "crazy Muslims" fill the streets in protest...outting themselves as NOT "peaceful Muslims....we blow them off the planet.

Sooner or later....they will run out of the "crazy" Muslims and the war will be over."


Umm... and they have a hard time taking ME seriously?
