Perhaps the best ambassador to the U.N. that the U.S. has had for a generation, has resigned rather than put his country and the Bush administration through the spectacle of being retroactively "Borked" by a soon Democrat-controlled U.S. Senate. John Bolton was detested by many senators (and admired by a few) as much for his robust personal qualities, as for his proven ability to advance U.S. interests through the chambers of the world's most ponderous, cumbersome, and therefore thankfully ineffective, anti-American institution.
As I have written before, with understatement, the United Nations is at the black heart of contemporary international arrangements. It was founded at cross-purposes, presented to the world as a beacon for peace, when it was designed as a prize ring for realpolitik manoeuvring. It became, by increments of Communist propaganda, the embodiment of a shining crackpot aspiration towards world government. When in reality it was the diplomatic cockpit for the Cold War between the Western democracies and the Soviet Empire -- where the betting took place in the bloody flutters between their respective third-world proxies. Today, it is simply "on the other side".
At its best, it has at least been a clearing house, to avoid war through the unpublicized backroom transmission of credible threats and deadlines to the world's most depraved exponents of misrule. But its membership reflects the plurality of the depraved. The General Assembly is permanently stacked against the interests of all constitutional democracies. It provides a karaoke chamber to enhance the babblings even of despots as tone-deaf as Hugo Chavez of Venezuela.

Our Nutball Gubmint must purge all those who make sense. They get in the way of blubbering, posturing, worthless blowhards.
One of many now that the Treason party has taken the house and senate. Like Ann Coulter said in her latest; "Now that Democrats have won the House, they can concentrate on losing the war." Bolton in the UN could have helped win it and the Treason party just didn`t like that.
This is a great article but the author has no idea about what recess appointments entail.
I agree.. Prayers for our nation.
The Democrats, lead by Chafee should get down on their knees and beg John Bolton to reconsider. This will not soon be forgotten.
Greetings 2ndDivisionVet:
Maybe my resume ought to find the Presidents desk for this vacant UN Ambassador's position. After a few years of this E9 as "bouncer" in the "Star Wars barroom;" the 'Rats and their International Socialist/Islaminazi co-conspirators would be begging for the return of Ambassador John Bolton.
Dreaming of perfect world...
Cheers,
OLA

The real reason libtards hated this guy is because he was too scary looking.
