Bolton in '08

John R. Bolton is the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.

He was appointed by President Bush after Senate Dummycrats twice filibustered a vote on his confirmation.

Mr. Bolton's recess appointment expires this fall, but the Senate has scheduled a debate this week on extending Mr. Bolton's appointment through the end of the Bush administration.

Dummycrats will again try to deny the right man for the right job.

On CNN's "Late Edition" yesterday, Senator Christopher J. Dodd(CT) was asked whether he could now support Mr. Bolton's nomination.

"No, this is going to be a bruising fight. I regret this. I'm sorry the administration wants to go forward with this. The problems still persist. ... Many ambassadors at the U.N. feel that he hasn't done a good job there. He has polarized the situation."

Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr.(DE), "Instead of wasting time and playing politics, the administration should nominate someone else to take Mr. Bolton's place."

Here's what Biden had to say to Bolton in 2001....“My problem with you over the years is that you’ve been too competent. I would rather you be stupid and not very effective.”

Here's where I fell in love with Mr. Bolton....In a 2002 interview with The New York Times, Mr. Bolton was asked about what seemed to be mixed signals from the Bush administration on North Korea. He grabbed a book from a shelf and laid it on the table. Its title: The End of North Korea. “That,” he told the interviewer, “is our policy.”

We need more people like John R. Bolton and less like Chris Dodd, Joe Biden, Ted Kennedy, Hillary Rodham Clinton, John Kerry, Nancy Pelosi, John Edwards and Tom Harkin
