Wednesday, March 09, 2005 Internat'l Relations? We Don't Need No Stinking Internat'l Relations! How does Bush try to "fix" things in the internat'l arena? He picks John Bolton as the US's new ambassador to the UN... Bolton, a guy who is on the record (since at least the 90's) bashing the UN. I know that Repubs will say that Bush can appoint whomever he wants for what ever position he wants, but there are some serious questions about this guy. He's been branded "human scum". Jesse Helms has said that Bolton is "the kind of man... he'd like to stand... next to at Armageddon". (whoa... spooooky) And he's been questioned about his objectivity in insisting that Taiwan be seated at the UN given that he received 1000's from the Taiwanese govt to put together research on admitting Taiwan to the UN. I swear, if he could, Bush would appoint John Wayne Gacy to CEO of the Boy Scouts. |
