We don't know for certain the reasons for Bolton's departure
Gee ya think it might have something too do with the fact that my mother had a better chance of getting confirmed? And she's been dead for ten years.
Which is telling; perhaps I'm wrong, but I think Bolton was doing a fine job.
.....of course, talent never matters much to liberals; if it's 'johnny commie', he's all right with them.
Maybe if Bolton had agree to announce to the world that we are losing in Iraq, he could have been confirmed?
