John Bolton, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, believes the Iran nuclear program crisis is a crucial test for the world body.

Bolton addressed the World Affairs Council of Philadelphia on Friday, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported.

If the Security Council can't deal with that threat, then you have to ask yourself what utility the Security Council would be in dealing with terrorism and weapons of mass destruction, Bolton said.

Earlier in the day, the ambassador met with the Inquirer editorial board. He suggested that the United Nations' ability to deal with Iran is linked to its ability to reform its operations and said both are hampered by anti-western sentiment.

You all need to come to New York for 30 days, be a part of my mission, and just listen to what goes on there, he told the Inquirer board.

The question is... will the United nations pass this test?

I'm not holding my breath.

This is the first time in 20 years I have ever heard a high ranking US Government official say this publicly about the UN.

Cheers to Bolton, as to say this about the UN today is akin to a "hate crime" among the anti-Western mob.

It's time to call the UN what it truly is:

UN = Useless Nitwits

That certainly says a lot about the truth of the UN. The UN is just simply that, "un".

un-nerving, un-raveled, 'un'-effective, un-willing to participate in real solutions, and most of all, un-able to serve the people they supposedly represent. Get US - the USA, out of this revenue draining ludicrous un-institution. Now!

BOLTON 2008!!!!

I could get enthused about such a candidacy!

I'm hoping that Bolton is going to shame the U.N., Russia, China, and the rest of those misfits into facing reality, which is that they are on the verge of allowing Iran, which fits every definition of a lawless, rogue State, to obtain nuclear weapons which will either be used almost immediately upon our ally Israel, or they will be passed to terrorists who will use them God-only-knows-where.

Nobody, absolutely NOBODY wants to see New York City suffer a nuclear 9/11, but the bittersweet consolation would be that the U.N. would go up in the mushroom cloud with the rest of the victims.

There was a reason that the 9/11 hijackers never considered crashing those airliners into the U.N. building, after all - why would Islamofascist radicals seek to attack their ALLIES?

BOLTON 2008!!!!

The man not appointed to the position he holds thanks be to the Dem's in the Senate playing politics instead of working for our best national interests.

[ANGGAPO]

The positions that he has taken are the precise reason that the Democrats didn't want at the UN. Perhaps 08, hummmmm.

I just visited USENET and GOOGLE Political Groups and one of the democrat's responses to this article was...

"I think the Security Council sould disarm the US first, which is the only country on Earth to ever have used nuclear bombs against civilians and murdered hundreds of thousands of them."

God, help this nation if they ever regain control
