BU$H IMPOSES NEOFASCIST THUG AS U.N. AMBASSADOR!

[greenpagan]

Excerpts from WSWS article:

(Lead paragraph.)

In both the thuggish character of the nominee and the arrogant method of his installation, George W. Bush’s August 1 “recess appointment” of John Bolton as the US ambassador to the United Nations exemplifies his administration’s contempt for democratic forms as well as world public opinion.

***

(Conclusion.)

Senate Democrats for the most part focused on the testimony < i.e. , supra -- In early 2002, he demanded that the intelligence agencies provide corroboration of his charge that Cuba was developing biological weapons that it could potentially share with “rogue states” or terrorists—precisely the false accusation that was used to justify the war against Iraq. > as evidence that Bolton was unsuited for the UN post because he lacked a diplomatic “temperament,” rather than the obvious fact that he was a key player in the general conspiracy within the Bush administration to deceive the American people in order to carry out wars of aggression.

In the absence of any serious opposition to these methods within the Democratic Party or any section of the US establishment, Bolton will now take his post at the United Nations. A man who has said that “to grant any validity to international law” is a “big mistake,” and who described the day he presided over the repudiation of the treaty establishing the International Criminal Court as the “happiest moment” of his career will now serve as US imperialism’s ugly—and fitting—face to the world.

1. I couldn't think of a better spokesperson for this administration.

I, for one, welcome Mr. Bolton as representative of our current administration.

I think he will be a shining example of the leadership our great president has shown to the world. John Bolton's dignity and gravitas should be a reflection of George W Bush's leadership style.

John Bolton's accomplishments should rightly be seen as George W. Bush's accomplishments.
