President Bush made a political mistake today by installing combative nominee John Bolton as ambassador to the United Nations, ending a five-month impasse. Democrats rightly opposed Bolton, accusing him of abusing subordinates and twisting intelligence to fit his extreme right wing ideology.
"He's damaged goods. This is a person who lacks credibility," Sen. Christopher Dodd, Conn., said on Fox News Sunday.
Unlike Supreme Court nominee John Roberts, Bolton is not the slightest bit likeable. He has all the extreme positions and the face to match. His temper tantrums are unbefitting of a top diplomat serving our nation. With Bush's poll numbers going down, this will not help. Even Republicans know in their hearts that Bolton is a jerk and would not like to work for him. That Bush would embrace such an awful person shows a lot about his character, or lack thereof.
Finally, it is bizarre that Bush would appoint a person so hostile to the U.N. to represent U.S. interests. At a time when the U.S. desperately needs allies, this will bring us nothing but enemies. Just because Bush can do something, doesn't mean he should. This is a lesson clearly lost on this president.

Bush once again showed his strength and rolled the liberals. And, for your information, I'd work for Bolton. What the U.N. needs is tough reformer who will tell those shieks and kings what they need to hear - not what they want to hear. God bless Bush. God bless America.
Apparently, you know NOTHING about diplomatic relathionships, Mark G. Your comment may be patriotic (at least the very last line) but the rest show that you clearly don't understand:
a) History and why UN was created b) The basics about membership at the UN. c) That the member states agree to several things... not even wasting time to explain you what.
This is not about keeping a boot in everyone's else heads, this is about RELATIONS.
Why do I wate my time with people like you?
