Diplomats See Nominee Bolton "As A Stand-In For The Arrogance Of The Bush Administration"... The Huffington Post
Last week John Bolton stated that there is no "moral equivalence" between the death of Isreali citizens and the death of Lebonese citizens in the ensuing battle between Hezbollah and Isreal.
Diplomats at the UN have spoken out about the arrogance of the Bush administration manifested via Bolton and his rhetoric:
In recent months, as one international crisis followed another, John R. Bolton has fulfilled the role of the United Nations’ most influential ambassador at full strength, firmly articulating the position of the United States government regarding Iran, North Korea and the Middle East..
His performance won over at least one crucial critic, Senator George V. Voinovich, Republican of Ohio. Mr. Voinovich’s opposition a year ago forced Mr. Bolton to take the job as a presidential recess appointment, an arrangement that expires at the end of this Congress in January. More from NYT>>>
