What reform?

[BayouBengal07]

All the Conservatives say we need to put Bolton in the UN to "reform it".

Have they explained how ONE MAN, who HATES and doesn't even BELIEVE in the UN, is going to reform it? Is this one ideological blowhard going to bully the UN into a radical new "America-friendly" direction (despite the fact that the majority of the world sees the UN as a tool of Western, specifically US, interests)?

Have we tried to hammer the Conservatves with that question? What reform? It just seems like a weak blanket statement that deserves a response.

2. Reform means....

destroy. You need a translator for the language they use, but the good news is they're pretty consistent.

4. I am not sure just what reform they intend to do

I hear Scott McClelan talking about how "the American people want reform of the UN", well, I don't recall anybody asking me if I wanted reform of the UN or not. I don't recall anyone telling me just what changes they would like to make and if I agree with those proposals. Last time I checked, I was one of those people that Scotty mentions all the time, yet I have not given any consent for them to reform dick.
