The Mentor of the Neocons
The Rhetoric King of Nuclear Proliferation
The ONE the ONLY John Bolton
John Bolton is THE WORST the USA has to offer in the way of diplomacy and IS the current Neocon/Repuglican Attitude of BUSH/Cheney. "Whatever you say, John, I never wanted to be exposed to the opinion of the world anyway. Only descend on the world with opinion !"
Bolton's high handed gaming has resulted in at least one propaganda piece today, one in the NY Times and I haven't looked further yet today. The information is irrelivant and obviously his best work. The article sighted was well done clearly illustrating the incompetence by this administration for ever carrying out an invasion in the first place. The United Nations since 1991 had done an incredible job at securing the weapons in Iraq and through the Oil for Food Program completely water downed Iraq's ability to carry out but the most meager of defense programs.
The Disrespect for World Order and only abiding by their own ideologies, regardless of the knowledge the United Nations held in relation to the custody of weapons in Iraq, this administration continued with an invasion that unseated world order and security setting up the USA for isolation and ridicule.
The level of disrespect Bolton brings to the United Nations is beyond imagination. I am quite confident he is the best to represent Bush with no doubt the isolation of the USA will continue or risk another RUSH TO WAR. Perhaps Goss will continue his truth telling rather than the former propaganda to proliferate understanding leading to peace rather than lies to cover up crony initiatives for war and human righats abuses.
Bush's live grenade
Bush's choice for the US face at the UN is a 'hawk's hawk' who keeps a toy grenade in his office

JOHN Bolton, the man US President George W. Bush has picked to represent him at the UN, is an outspoken right-wing ideologue who, for reasons never explained, keeps a toy hand grenade on a table in his office.
...It was a reaction that did not surprise former Malcolm Fraser adviser Owen Harries, who got to know Bolton while working as editor of The National Interest in Washington from 1985 to 2001.
"John's temperament is the antithesis of the conventional diplomat," Harries says. "He is a man of extraordinarily strong views and he believes the essence of the [foreign policy] game is to get what you want without compromise. He also believes that the existing world order has one superpower, which is the US, and that the UN is used by other countries wanting to restrain the US dominance. That largely explains why John has been such a great critic of the UN in the past."
In fact, Bolton's antipathy towards the UN is the stuff of legend. Not only has he urged the US to withdraw its UN funding and taunted supporters of the UN-backed international court of justice as "fuzzy-minded romantics", he has never wasted an opportunity to make the damning claim that much of the UN's recent history in places such as Bosnia and Rwanda, in the oil-for-food program in Iraq and in Sudan and the Congo, has been about finding accommodation with terrorists and murderers.
...Harries, who describes Bolton as "intense and driven" and "not someone you go to for small talk", agrees that in sending Bolton to the UN, Bush has made an emphatic point.
"This is an appointment that clearly says American policy in Bush's second term is going to be no different in practice to his aggressive rhetoric about promoting democracy and freedom and American values to the rest of the world as a way of combating terrorism," Harries says.
If that also means a willingness to set up security mechanisms outside UN authority, Bolton will be perfectly placed to set the wheels in motion. He's the architect of the Proliferation Security Initiative, in which 15 European and Asian nations - including Australia - signed up to curb the international trade in weapons of mass destruction, their delivery systems and related materials using measures such as the interception of suspect shipping on the high seas.
