I really like this guy Kucinich. He's one of the few Dems
who's not afraid to tell it like it is.

While Ambassador Bolton refused to answer questions about US troops in Iran, Ambassador Bolton did state that the US was prepared to move against Iran, with or without the UN Security Council.

“I find it hard to believe that the United States Ambassador to the United Nations does not know about ongoing military activity in one of the world’s most volatile regions, and in a country at the heart of current debate before the UN,” stated Kucinich after the hearing. “Congress has a Constitutional role to play in providing checks and balances of this Administration. Ambassador’s Bolton testimony today, and his refusal to answer even the most basic questions about Iran, is just another example of this Administration’s contempt of Congress.”

“This Administration has set our nation on the path to war against Iran,” continued Kucinich. “It has done so without consulting the Congress, and without proper Congressional oversight. Today’s hearing could have been an important moment to educate the public and the Congress about this Administration’s policy towards Iran, and the role US military is already playing in implementing that policy. Unfortunately, Ambassador Bolton’s stonewalling prevent this from happening.”

“This Administration has set our nation on a very dangerous path with Iran. Congress must intervene before this Administration begins a wider, and far more dangerous war in the Middle East,” concluded Kucinich.

2. I'm with marmar. Bolton is bad news. "We have men loosening the bolts

on Noah's Art," wrote Robert Bly.

John Bolton is one of those men.

And kudos to Kucinich for calling him on his deceit and contempt for the people's Congress.

6. Yeah I saw the Cspan recap of that

this morning, and once again I was really getting scared for our country with someone like Bolten as our ambassador. He's such an asshole! Wasn't there a piece on Truthout or something like that, definitely stating we were or are going to Iran...because the writer had actually seen the letter to the UN- an address stating such on Bolten's desk! Apparently this letter has been written for some time now!!! Just waiting for the right time!!!!
