You ARE aware that it was the President who pushed hard for John Bolton in the first place, aren't you? And appointed him in spite of great Dem opposition. And I heard today that he told Bolton that he would fight for him, but it was Bolton who insisted on resigning.

How do you deal with that relative to your assertion that he 'hasn't done much' in the past few years.

This is the point I would like to make and then, hopefully be off....

President Bush has been completely consistent from Day One. He has done, almost without exception, exactly what he said he would do. And he has, without exception, done so with character and integrity.

It is those who bash him incessantly who have the problem, not he. And I, for one, am sick of them.

They suffer from the same problem as the liberals do .. BDS

You are right. One thing to remember - it is not he that is spineless, it is the fellow Repubs who don't back him up, even before the election. Not all of them, but enough, including ingrates that received him from him (Spector, Chaffee...) Bolton was an inspired choice. I am happy we had him for as long as we did.

Yeah, but, to now nominate someone who isn't ideal just to get them confirmed (and to placate the Dems) is a huge compromise in position and values. Bush is wrong if Mitchell truly is the pick.
