well...actually...they did take him out before he was able to finish the job...and considering the fact that China and Russia with veto power have tried to fight him every step of the way...well I would say that he did his job in keeping the pressure on China and Russia to do their job.
It is going to take a bulldog to get through to China and Russia....a little sweetheart that the Democrats will more than likely put in....won't have a CHANCE!

Well, howdy!

But until that day comes, why not answer my previous post?

You know what people...I am keeping copies of all these CBS sites for the day in the future when we see that Bush and Bolton were both on the right track and all you could manage to do is get in their way and hinder their jobs in this war on terror and our problems with Iran and North Korea.

Yes...hindsight is everything sometimes people.

And someday...when we have gotten past this stuff...I am going to write a book and I think all you people will be really embarrassed at the hate campaign and all these comments you have chosen to say to bring hatred against this administration and division to our country.

Someday, I guarantee you that in hindsight GW will be considered one of the greatest Presidents america has ever had and John Bolton will also be proven to be the best UN rep we have ever had.

Yes....I think after my book comes out...you all will be wanting to eat your words at just about the same time. Yes, won't you be embarrassed when your name is right there at the top with your comments for all the world to see THEN. Yes...you all think you are real clever now....but someday my friends....you will be begging me not to print your words.

goodbye John Bolton...I for one will miss you. You are a great man and a true american patriot.
You did a great job while you were there and did the best with what you had to work with I know.

Now...get ready america....you just let the Democrats throw out our best shot at getting Iran and North Korea under control. Way to go america!

Now we really are in trouble!

For those who really believe that John Bolton was a bully:

Get ready to be bullied by North Korea, Iran, Syria and Venezuela!

Bolton was the perfect person for Bush. Both believe in bullying over diplomacy. Good riddance - his type of thinking has done little to secure anyone's security anywhere.

diverinnl,
that is all I meant, it was a well stated remark with some creative writing added and all anyone else had to say was he was on par with Joseph Gobbels.
in order to have a civilized debate we (as americans) need to understand people can have differing views and have the courage to express them with out fearing a visceral reaction to it, boiling down to calling them a fasist or communist or a nazi.

I thought Bolton was very effective. With all the hoopla when he was first nominated, I expected the guy to be obnoxious but he was competant and professional.

"What amazes me is mjlewis6 makes an excelent point and backs it up, but all you who disagree with him can do is call him names and not counterpoint any of his points."

His arguments are flawed:
* The USS Cole was bombed 12 Oct 2000
* The Khobar Towers were bombed 25 June 1996
* Bush was sworn 20 Jan 2001

How is Bush responsible for these? Both events were under Clinton.

"There is something about "Democratic Senate Leader Harry Reid of Nevada" that gives me the absolute crawls."

It's called "Checks and Balance" - get used to it.
And it's not to be confused with "Fair & Balanced" which has come to have no meaning whatsoever.

And it was Chaffee, a Republican, that killed this nomination. A shame such a decent American needed an election defeat to stand up to extremists in his party.

Another justification for Checks and Balance.

What is the difference between "obstruct his confirmation" and "obstruction of justice"?

There is something about "Democratic Senate Leader Harry Reid of Nevada" that gives me the absolute crawls.

careful tibu987, you cant start talking like both sides can have a viable opinion. it is obvious from just about all other post on here that there can only be one correct opinion.

When Bolton was selected for the job at the U.N., I too did not think he was the one for the job but after seeing him in action, finally talking toughand sensible to the playboys of the U.N. I changed my mind.
I believe he can do a good job there and it is too bad that partisan politics has to weed out all opposition no matter how good they may be in their jobs.
Hard partisan politics is not the best thing for the U.S.

Another FASCIST bites the dust....

The question remains... WHY did he leave?

What does he know that we DON'T??
