His nomination appeared more appalling since the Bush administration had previously announced it planned to repair its image, which had suffered greatly due to the scandal-hit invasion of Iraq launched under the guidance of hawks like Bolton and other officials who Nelson Mandela once called the dinosaurs surrounding Bush.

If Tehran is opposed to Bolton, he's the perfect man for the job.

Sen. Voinovich's next official statement: "I had planned on voting for Bolton, but a recent article in the Tehran Times brought out some new data. I'm no longer comfortable with this nomination."

Are there any more doubts as to Bolton's qualifications?

Bolton is definitely that man for the job. The Tehran wipe has just given him a hugh endorsement in my opinion.

Okay, so this is from one of the least tolerant, hateful nations in the world. Ahhhh, their wisdom ... nope.

Bingo. It's the best recommendation for the man I've heard to date.

You ain't kidding. Sheesh. Siding with the Iranians and the UN. Great googly moogly. If only all the nation's enemies were as dim as the Dems!

We all know the U.N. is irrelevant, but perception is everything in the "international community" that the liberals like John F'n love so much.

If we're going to have to participate in the sham, I'd at least love to send someone who pisses terrorists (and liberals, as if there's a difference) off -- and Bolton's perfect.

The article was written by Saki.

Isn't that an intoxicating Japanese drink?

Yes. The pettifoggers in the Senate who block Bolton's appointment are giving considerable aid and comfort to our nation's sworn enemies.
