Bolton will leave the UN

[DoctorDoom]

Another casualty of the destruction of the Congress, from a NewsMax email.

NewsMax has learned that U.S. ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton will likely leave his post next month.

After a rocky series of Senate confirmation hearings, Bolton was sent to the U.N. by President Bush in August 2005 under a recess appointment. That allowed the president to bypass Senate confirmation while it was in recess, but the appointee could only serve for the length of the current Congress which is set to expire at year's end.

"The Bolton nomination will not get voted on," Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., reportedly has told colleagues. No doubt the RAT bastards will not approve anyone who doesn't have the UN Flag in his office. Chalk up another blow to US sovereignty courtesy of stupid voters.

If ever American needed a civil war, now is the time.

Seems likely that Bolton will not be ambassador next year. Rather than nominate a lesser confirmable replacement, what would be the downside of not having an ambassador to the UN for a couple of years, or more?

Can I also suggest moving the UN building about 50 miles East?

Yes but you'd be taken hostage by the Libs in Vermont. We'd have to rescue you, Doom, Maggie. :D

Can I also suggest moving the UN building about 50 miles East?They'd just claim it proves their theories on global warming. I say move them to Lebanon, Iran or Syria.

Push it into eminent domain and have it turned into a shoping mall.

My prediction: the US aka we the taxpayers will spend hundreds of millions of dollars to build a new UN campus to replace that decaying eyesore.

The ultimate Bushdem wet dream can now become a reality. Jimmy Carter as America's UN ambassador. Bush gets to look like the bipartisan sheep he so craves. And the dems get their self righteous prick in a position where he can lecture the entire world on the evils of America.

Demunists need a UN lackey in there. One that will not stop them from stealing the ashtrays.

[MrSanity]

They might pass Madeline Albright.
Which would be a nightmare.

[Naturalized-Texan]

President Bush just sent Bolton's nomination back to the Senate. The only question is: Will the lame-duck Senate confirm him? My guess is that it won't.

President Bush just sent Bolton's nomination back to the Senate. The only question is: Will the lame-duck Senate confirm him? My guess is that it won't.I don't know how Leiberman and other center-left Dems voted last time around. But the new congress won't be easy. The liberals could toss out any UN ambassador who doesn't fit the mold of Madeline Albright or Jimmy Carter, who cater to the enemy first and foremost.

I wish the UN would leave the US. :sulk:

Kathy, I love the word 'Demunists'. :thumb:

[Eagle1]

a damn shame that bolton cant stay, he is a good man and a great representative of the US

[Wolfcounsel]

I think Bolton will stay at the UN.

President Bush just sent Bolton's nomination back to the Senate. The only question is: Will the lame-duck Senate confirm him? My guess is that it won't.Probably not.

[Antigone]

He won't be confirmed. Biden has already stated his nomination is "going nowhere".

[Jim Sentry]

I think Bolton made an impressive showing while at the UN. Let the idiot Dems attack him. I think it will backfire.

ELIZABETH JACKSON: The Democrats' big victory in this week's US Congressional elections looks set to claim another senior Bush administration scalp.

Three days after Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld's resignation, the future is also looking very grim for the US Ambassador to the United Nations, John Bolton, whose term expires at the end of December.

President Bush has re-submitted Mr Bolton's nomination to the Senate but Senior Democrats and even a key Republican have declared there's no way the envoy's term will be extended.

The repoter blames Bush for even submitting Bolton's name, compares it to "waving a red flag in front of an angry bull".

Rumsfeld...Bolton...next...
