It is against that backdrop, some internationalists fear, that the dispatch of a mid-level bureaucrat to the 60th anniversary celebration might be interpreted as the United States snubbing its nose at the rest of the globe.

The worthless SOB's deserve snubbing. Good call, W.

[mware]

GOOD

[nairBResal]

He should send Bolton.

[ConorMacNessa]

Excellant!

The president will not attend Sunday's celebration of the 60th anniversary of the signing of the U.N. Charter in San Francisco. The White House rejected requests for the president or a high-ranking surrogate and is scheduled to send Sichan Siv, the U.S. representative to the U.N. Economic and Social Council.

Well, I'm sure Bush would be happy to send the US ambassador to the UN to this party...Oh! wait, the Dems aren't allowing the president to appoint one!

[MamaB]

Good for him.

Maybe Bolton should just crash! The party crashers are always where the action is at anyway.

[roses of sharon]

The President rejects a plan to be mocked and protested? Let SF worship their shadow government on their own.

[numberonepal]

Good! Now at least say something about America being completely lost yesterday.

[Republican Red]

He should send Bolton

Now THAT would be funny.

[RichInOC]

What? Doesn't our mission in New York have a summer intern we can send?

[tractorman]

Skip the birthday party and go directly to the funeral.

[republicofdavis]

I think I'll join him!

Yet it raises some doubt about Washington's commitment to the United Nations, as the 191-member international body celebrates its diamond anniversary.

It's called "sending a message".

[PhiKapMom]

This is perfect -- Dems won't allow us to have a UN Ambassador so they get a lower level person -- I love it!

[b4its2late]

SWEET!

Wait-- do these liberal idiots think that the UN will improve its attitude of the US if Bush shows up? Are they really that stupid? Bush is better off playing hard to get rather than being sycophantic toward those morons.
