"Bolton Must Compromise With Diplomats"

[GreenPartyVoter]

UNITED NATIONS (AP) - John Bolton's chief challenge as ambassador to the United Nations will be to work with diplomats from 190 nations in a place he's called irrelevant as he tries to advance President Bush's reform agenda.

The 56-year-old arms control expert with a reputation for brilliance, obstinacy and speaking his mind will arrive at the United Nations just weeks before a summit in which world leaders will seek to adopt sweeping changes to enable the U.N. to meet the challenges of the 21st century.

Bolton will be thrust into intense negotiations on contentious issues ranging from Security Council reform and poverty alleviation to stepping up the global fight against terrorism and improving U.N. management.

"He will be one of the key players because the United States is the largest contributor and a great power in the Security Council," Germany's U.N. Ambassador Gunter Pleuger said. "There are conflicting views on nearly every issue that is on our plate for the reform, and the largest player in the U.N., of course, plays a key role."

He will be nothing more than an embarrassment to us.. even bigger that negroponte was.

He needs to be sent to Iraq and dropped off on the "airport road"..let him thumb a ride into the green zone:)

5. "Reputation for brilliance..."?

PLEASE, please tell me one thing this guy has done right, or excellent, or advanced our national policy?

Please. Just one thing about this man that makes him brilliant. Otherwise, this is just more MSM proping-up the puppet BULLSHIT.

6. Reputation for Brilliance?

Chasing unwilling women yes, losing his temper yes, attempting to manufacture intelligence to support a cold war era policy yes. Brilliance? I don't think so.

7. "Compromise ??"

" Why sure I'll compromise ! I'll merely pummel you indigent, dark skinned toga wearing savages with my walking stick instead of giving you the Colt enema that you so richly deserve !"
