There should be a large stone statue of John Bolton somewhere, soon — at least before it becomes taboo to depict the human form. At a meeting of the United Nations Security Council, where every freedom-loving nation, hating Islamism, showed themselves too fearful to say so, Bolton cast the single no vote, blocking a proposition which would condemn Israel’s self-defense and, now, its freely-offered contribution to the War on Terror... To well-brook [wtf??] being so hated is a real talent that Mr. Bolton has.Honestly, I'm not posting this just to be a jerk. I really feel that, if Joe is going to be the face of Dartmouth blogging (as he most definitely is), somebody should really call him out when his posts go this far off the deep end.

Wow...it takes real effort to be that delusional. What a great "contribution to the War on Terror"-blowing what I understand to be a very pro-US democracy in the Middle East to itty bitty pieces. Thanks, guys.
ReplyDeleteFareed Zakaria put together a great perspective on Bolton's work (link is here):
“…John Bolton has remained largely unreformed at the United Nations. Taking on the politically easy task of U.N.-bashing, his style has alienated almost every other country, resulting in failure after failure, most notably the breakdown of a reform program that met many of the United States’ demands. His latest salvo was a crude, bullying message to Secretary-General Kofi Annan—that he expected U.N. officials to speak only in glowing terms of the United States (even as he constantly bashes the U.N.). In five minutes of posturing in front of a microphone, Bolton undoes five months of careful work by his boss, the secretary of State.”
did you see his comment on the launch of the U.S's recent ICBM test? Blew my mind, and not for the usual reasons of stilted eloquence.
