Post Thursday: Bolton opposes efforts to limit U.S. military abroad

August 31, 2005 / rawstory.com / John Bolton, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, has voiced firm opposition to U.N. reorganization measures that the Bush administration fears would inhibit U.S. authority to use force and place new legal obligations on states to intervene in countries where genocide, ethnic cleansing or war crimes were being committed, the Washington Post reports on Thursday page ones, RAW STORY has learned. Excerpts follow:

Bolton outlined his positions in a series of letters to U.N. delegates participating in negotiations to draft a 39-page statement to be read by world leaders at a summit on development and U.N. reform that begins Sept. 14. The six letters, intended to clarify proposed U.S. amendments to the draft, constitute the most detailed public picture of Bolton's thinking on a range of issues since he became ambassador, including on the fight against poverty and terrorism, the promotion of human rights and the streamlining of the U.N. bureaucracy.

1. How long until Bolton's out of the UN?

I think the U.N. should postpone making any major deals, or decisions until he's gone.
