Bolton says he won't give exit interviews

When a reporter asked for his final analysis of the United Nations, noting that he had once said its building could stand to lose its upper 10 floors — where all the top executives work — Bolton wouldn't bite.

"You know, in many years of service in the federal government, I've seen a lot of newspaper stories that start out something like, 'In a wide-ranging exit interview, Mr. X said the following,'" Bolton replied. "I'm not going to give any wide-ranging exit interviews or even any exit interviews, because I think until I leave federal service, it's not my personal opinions that matter, it's the policy of the United States."

During Bolton's 16 months at the U.N., the fine points of diplomacy took a back seat to his aggressive pursuit of President Bush's global agenda, which ranged from pressing for sanctions against
North Korea and Iran to installing U.N. peacekeepers in conflict-wracked Darfur to overhauling the 61-year-old United Nations to meet 21st century challenges.

On Wednesday afternoon, he wanted to talk only about the Security Council resolution authorizing an African force to protect the weak transitional government in Somalia against an increasingly strong Islamic militant movement. The U.S.-sponsored resolution was adopted unanimously by the council soon after Bolton spoke.

Despite Bolton insisting he wanted to talk about Somalia, a reporter asked how he would like to be remembered in the history of U.S. ambassadors to the U.N. "That's a personal question, so I'll pass on that, too," he said. "And let me just say that I have consistently declined here to talk about my personal situation, and I'm going to continue to decline that. And I want to talk about Somalia."
