Bolton appointed U.S ambassador to the UN

Please have a look (either read the transcript or watch the videostream) at this report from Democracy Now.
In the first part, they show what Bolton said in 1994 about the UN. The way he said it talks for itself. A must watch!!

And the beautiful little speech from Bush when he appointed him is simply pathetic...
I quote: "The United States Senate held thorough confirmation hearings, and a majority of United States Senators agree that he is the right man for the job. Yet because of partisan delaying tactics by a handful of senators, John was unfairly denied the up or down vote that he deserves."
When you know that the White House never released some official documents the senators requested to make up their mind, plus the fact that some republicans (together with all the democrats) were against Bolton's nomination, you start to understand better that W is full of it!

But he doesn't really give a f*ck about democracy and uses the recess of the Senate to force Bolton against the will of the senators. Very democratical. W the Uniter!
