Oil-for-Food Arrest Linked to Bolton Arrival at U.N.

Just eight days after John Bolton's recess appointment as U.N. Ambassador, the world body's credibility took a nosedive as corruption charges were leveled against top officials involved in the $64 billion Iraq oil-for-food scandal.

With one arrest yesterday and more expected shortly, experts naturally noted the connection between the arrival of the gruff American diplomat and the crisis at the United Nations.

"We warned President Bush against picking Bolton," said one Senate Democrat, "and now look what's happened -- criminal allegations in the world's most credible organization."

A spokesman for Ambassador Bolton refused comment on the oil-for-food scandal, but noted that the charges against two former U.N. officials stem from activities that happened several years ago.

The unnamed Senator, however, said Mr. Bolton's attempt to duck the issue will not shield him from scrutiny, nor prevent the Democrat party from running political ads tying the demise of U.N. credibility to his arrival.

"We warned President Bush against picking Bolton," said one Senate Democrat, "and now look what's happened -- criminal allegations in the world's most credible organization."

My lower jaw dropped when I saw 'credible' in this statement.

[EagleUSA]

Excellent.

Yes, the very idea of introducing credibility and honesty with the new presence of Bolton -- Bush should be held totally accountable for this atrocity.

No pal, the UN is the world's most incredible organization.

Does this CRAT mean he supports the criminal and doesn't want exposure? What an a@@.

It may be Scrappleface, but ya gotta admit, this is very realistic. This simply demonstrates that cynicism in relation to the lunacy of the reality-defying Liberal left knows no bounds.

" said one Senate Democrat, "and now look what's happened -- criminal allegations in the world's most credible organization."

It wouldn't surprise me if a senator or two had their hand out as well.

I've long suspected most democrats got their education at Clown School..I didn't know until now what good grades they must have gotten.
