The "U.N. Secretary building"? "10 stories"? :wtf:

This article may be inaccurate in or unbalanced towards certain viewpoints.

Bolton has been a strong critic of the United Nations for much of his career. In a 1994 Global Structures Convocation hosted by the World Federalist Association (now Citizens for Global Solutions), he stated,

"There is no such thing as the United Nations. There is only the international community, which can only be led by the only remaining superpower, which is the United States." He also stated that "The Secretariat Building in New York has 38 stories. If you lost ten stories today, it wouldn't make a bit of difference."

Well, it's still spelled "storeys", but at least that makes a little more sense, obnoxious as it is. The other one is indeed all over the net, though.

Odd thing to say. Almost sounds as if he's inviting someone to lop 10 floors off the UN building ...

;)
