So, the author seems to be saying that Bush is a U.N. Wolf in sheeps clothing...

What do you all think?

" "I think you are going to be very disappointed," I told Joe. Despite President Bush's go-it-alone bluster, I explained, the president had shown repeatedly, by deed as well as word, that he is a solid UN multilateralist, an inveterate internationalist. That he is actually leading the effort to strengthen the UN."

Woof woof?

>In pursuing this course, George W. Bush is following the internationalist inclinations that guide him and his coterie of advisers and handlers...

What's the effing point
of this thread? So, Bush isn't
perfect. Do you want

people to vote for
Hillary and Clark?! To you
are they the good guys?!

"There will be ecstasy aplenty, I explained, once President Bush signs legislation ending our participation in, and cutting off funding for, the UN and all of its subversive agencies and activities."

This is nice and all, but it's unrealistic to expect a first term President to do such a thing - unless his desire is not to be re-elected.

People say they want out of the U.N. Probably most are sincere. But an event like this would be so huge, impact foreign relations so much, and be questioned so loudly that even those who wanted out of the U.N. might end up not voting to re-elect the guy that did it.

When the President said he wanted the UN to be relevant, I believe he meant it. But, he also wants it to act in a manner worthy of relevance, which is has so far failed to do. I also believe he said some of the nice things about the UN in order to stop a firestorm of socialist/commie/DimocRAT howling - can you imagine what the poor wannabes of the world would have been saying if he told the whole truth, "Y'all are a bunch of weak-kneed, slimy, peace-hating pu**ies and I'll be damned if I submit to your efforts to put the United States of America at a disadvantage"???
