Apologise or we'll cut your funding, US envoy tells UN

Well, I'd say Rummy and Cheney are my top prizes, but yeah, I hear you.

[NCLaw441]

Mr Annan said. “I think the speech by my deputy should be read in the right spirit and let’s put it behind us and move on.”

Hmm. If that speech is taken "in the right spirit" why should we have to "put it behind us"? Fact is, the speech was insulting, and there should be an abject apology, followed by pulling our funding.

Jealousy does not become you!

Bush 41 did it...why couldnt Bolton?!?

[Deo et Patria]

Not to mention those tax cuts.

[taxed2death]

I agree 100%... but is sure is nice to see Bolton throttle the useless pinheads that gather at the trough there....

[sissyjane]

Now we know why the dems tried so hard to keep Bolton out of this job!! Ha-Ha-Ha!!!

[martin_fierro]

Mr Bolton, a Republican right-winger, has been a leading conservative critic of the UN since serving as the assistant secretary of state for international organisations in the Administration of the first President Bush.
Mr Malloch Brown, a former journalist who founded The Economist Development Report and went on to work at a political consultancy before joining the UN system, is a member of a powerful network of internationalists.

Naaaah. No bias there.

Bolton is a "Loose Cannon," but he's "OUR" Loose Cannon.

The Libs/Dims/Dummies/MSM must be having pity parties and wringing their hands. LOL

Yeah John, how we love thee!!!

[SE Mom]

On a lesser, but significant note...Josh Bolton raises hell at the UN:)

This is really a good day for the good guys.

Zarqawi,
a sensible decision from third circuit,
Ann coulter kicking a$ and taking names,
Coke and WalMart at each others' throats,
a US climber saves another climber on Everest at the cost of an ascent ....

I think I'm gonna start celebrating 6/7/6 as the day the satanic forces started receding in america.

[AGreatPer]

Bolton, great guy. And he can sing too.

[baseballmom]

Interesting Soros connection.

Love the little blurb about the "secret" meeting with the Clinton's bud, Holbrooke. Ever scheming and plotting their way to power, with someone else's money.

[kcvl]

Kofi Annan, the UN chief, tried to play down the controversy. “I think the message that was intended is that the US needs the UN

NO, WE DON'T!!!

[roses of sharon]

You can bet Soros is throwing money around in Iraq and Afghanistan too.

[Txsleuth]

You are very right....I love Bolton...and I love what he said.

Dang---Is there any part of the American Government that Soros doesn't have a hand in??

[Richard-SIA]

I don't want to "lose" the U.N., I want it DEMOLISHED ASAP!

Or at the very least I want the U.S. to kick them all out of OUR country, and not give them another cent.

[Argus]

The UN has been portrayed by far-right groups as a godless, Communist and corrupt “nest of spies” ready to invade America.

And the inaccurate part of this description is..?

[maxwellp]

"Yay for Bolton".

Double yay for Bolton. Can't we, as Americans, just get of of the U.N.? Completely useless, anti-American organization. And I truly resent my taxes supporting the U.N.

Annan soothes Bolton turmoil

Kofi Annan


“Let’s put it behind us and move on,” he said. “There may be one or two things in the speech that you may disagree with, that I would disagree with, but I think the thrust of the message and the fact that the UN needs support is something we cannot all disagree with.”

Who needs Fox News when you've got John Bolton?

But he has done us a service by publicly airing the appalling state of the relationship between the US and the UN.
