Um, Mr Bolton, about that France thing...

[globalvillage]

When Sen Kerry pointed to the lack of UN efforts re Lebanon in the Bolton hearing last week, the UN Ambassador countered by citing our breakthrough efforts with France.

KERRY: ... And we have, similarly, on 1559, which called for the disarmament of Hezbollah. That was not a priority for the last year, and we are where we are.

BOLTON: I would disagree it was not a priority, but I'm not sure...

KERRY: Can you tell me what you did at the U.N. that has put it on the front-burner agenda?

BOLTON: I think really at this point I'd just refer you to my earlier testimony where I talked about a number of resolutions and presidential statements that we had adopted to put more pressure on Syria, both with respect to 1559 and 1595, which I think is another quite important resolution pursuing the Hariri assassination.

And I think that in fact, the issue of Lebanon generally is probably the best example of U.S. cooperation with France in a matter in the Security Council that we've had in recent years.

Think again, Mr. Bolton.

1. That was Bolton

taking credit for something the U.S. absolutely had no hand in, that is when he wasn't blaming the rest of the world for the U.S. not having a hand in anything.

Idiot!
