John Bolton and the UN
He is up for nomination for Ambassader to the United Nations and some of the lefties have their knickers in a bunch.
Professor Bainbridge
talks about one such moonbat -- Senator Barbra Boxer who says:
Bolton
Senator Barbara Boxer says John Bolton holds the UN in disdain, which Babs seem to think is somehow disqualifying. Seems to me that it ought to be part of the job description for US ambassador to Turtle Bay.
- The oil for food scandal
- Peacekeeps not protecting the folks they were sent to guard
- Peacekeepers raping the folks they're supposed to protect
- Nepotism
- Libya chairs the UN Human Rights Commission
- Demanding that the US taxpayer pay 1/5 of its budget
- France has a veto, for pete's sake
What Boxer doesn't seem to get is that her party lost the White House and is in the minority in both the House and Senate in no small part because the Democrats are (correctly) seen as putting multilateralism ahead of vigorously pursuing US interests.
Heh...
