Bolton's dishonor...

I used to be upset that John Bolton was not confirmed as UN Ambassador.

After reading this, I'm not upset any more.

John Bolton undercut Colin Powell's efforts to deal with the Iranian nuclear program. It was insubordination - or its kissing cousin.

Quite frankly, even though I disagreed stringly with his position, I feel that General Anthony Zinni handled his opposition to the liberation of Iraq with far more honor than John Bolton handled his disagreement with the approaches chosen by his superiors.

The UN economic forecast...

Seems the UN is forecasting lower economic growth for the US in an election year.

Now, I am sure the fact that most of the UN Bureaucracy doesn't care for the present administration has little to do with it. Then again... could they be capable of skewing a report to tamper with our domestic politics?

Bolton out...

Democratic obstructionism claims another victim.

It seems the Democrats have a pattern of obstructing Republican foreign policy initiatives - often by intruding upon the powers of the Presidency. They literally try to have it both ways - hamstringing the President, leaking classified information (there's a reason one Senator has been nicknamed "Senator Leaky") but often not willing to take responsibility for their actions.

This is how Ollie North shot to fame/notoriety, folks.
