Behind the scenes, Condoleezza Rice, Stephen Hadley and Robert Gates (three Bush administration veterans) are reportedly lobbying Senators against his confirmation.

Confirmation of why Bolton SHOULD be confirmed.

Hopefully he'll be in charge of fumigating Foggy Bottom of its career Arabists.

Well, Bolton certainly has the right enemies, but there are better picks.

Bolton opposed Millennium Development Goals. Good.

They were an unrealistic leftist wish list, unmoored from cause and effect polices to achieve them, that would scuttle society trying to save it. Mainly hand the US the bill for the rest of the world to live better.

For example:
- Eliminate gender disparity in primary and secondary education, preferably by 2005, and in all levels of education no later than 2015 (I guess that timeframe would require the West to pay)

- Integrate the principles of sustainable development into country policies and programs and reverse the loss of environmental resources (Energy use per $1 GDP, Carbon dioxide emissions per capita, etc., etc.)

- Deal comprehensively with the debt problems of developing countries through national and international measures.

- cancellation of official bilateral debt, and more generous official development assistance for countries committed to poverty reduction.

Hmmm...the author describes a diplomate who is loyal to his country and hostile to the u n.

Those make him a good choice for the job.

This is just some UN turd explaining why Bolton is not subservient to the UN mafia.

In terms of cleaning out the State Department trash, he’s the perfect zero-sum, take-no-prisoners, person for the job. Let Tillerson do the delicate stuff, but put a pit bull into the important dog fights.

This standoff over the MDGs threatened to scuttle the entire negotiations, so Kofi Annan facilitated a call between UK Foreign Secretary Jack Straw and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. Only then did Bolton relent. The fact that Bolton was willing to go toe-to-toe with the UK (and the rest of the world) over something as trite as a mere reference to the MDGs is a useful example of how Bolton’s zero sum approach to negotiations so profoundly alienates allies.

In other words, the UN was dug in and unwilling to budge from their position, Bolton was dug in on his and unwilling to budge. But he's hard headed and stubborn while they are not, somehow.

I like no-compromise people. They understand principle and eschew the idea that all choices must be grey.

If one person offers you poison and the other offers you food, do you eat a little of both in the interests of “compromise” ?

It should be a four letter word.

They fear John Bolton simply because he stands his ground, he sees what he believes is wrong and stands up to the bullies in the world. Why does the truth always have to be covered over to ease it’s digestion, the truth is the truth. No one has done more to offend our friends and partners on the world stage than Obama and the democrats. The UK, Israel, even Canada and everyone else that at one time we could count on. John stud up to the corruptions of the UN leaders and members, he made waves, too bad. You want to change the coarse where on, then you need good strong leaders. Isn’t that why Trump won, isn’t Trump like Bolton in his boldness and willing to take actions. George W. Bush assigned John Bolton as our representative to the UN because John was strong and forceful where as Bush was not. Look how the democrats and Obama handle things, look at John Kerry, Hillary Clinton. Are they the type you want?
