What I still don't get.... Voinovich sandbagged his president, and his chairman..why..if he sincerely felt he neede more time..OK..then tell Lugar well before the metting..let Lugar reschedule..Voinovich's actions were done in the worst possible way to hurt the WH..why?

Agreed. He must have sandbagged Lugar. The Chairman never goes to a meeting without knowing beforehand the results of a vote. You don't call for a vote unless you already know the result.

I don't know why he did it. I'm furious with Voinovich for being so simultaneously mooshy and malicious.

Petty revenge for a grievance? The need to send a message that "I'm not being paid enough attention"? I honestly don't know.

On another thread, freepers are reporting NRO is saying it might have been the Powell/Armitage leftovers at state dept that ganged up on Bolton.

Or Clinton leftovers at State. Or Carter left overs....the list is endless.
