Leaked Document Exposes Bolton’s True Mission
Edited on Sat Aug-27-05 08:52 PM by sunnystarr
from www.huffingtonpost.com. Arianna has come through again in exposing this administration. I couldn't believe Bolton's arrogance until I remembered he's part of the most arrogant, corrupt administration this country has ever been held hostage to.

Here are some of what you'll find at the link. The whole leaked document is available in pdf format. Items in bold italics have been deleted by Bolton. (I didn't know how to do the cross outs like Arianna used.)


Here is perhaps the most immoral deletion:

Provide, as a priority, assistance for HIV/AIDS prevention, care and treatment in African countries on a grant basis, and encourage pharmaceutical companies to make anti-retroviral drugs affordable and accessible in Africa and ensure increased support for bilateral and multilateral assistance to combat malaria, tuberculosis and other infectious diseases in Africa. (p.14)

Then there are the deletions in the climate change section intended to leave the impression that the jury is still out on global warming. You know, we really shouldn't come to any hasty conclusions about this, or, god forbid, act on any such conclusions.

...taking into account the Rio principles, inter alia the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities. We recognize that climate change is a serious and long-term challenge that has the potential to affect every part of the world.<…>


Undertake concerted global action to address climate change, including through meeting all commitments and obligations under the Kyoto Protocol…and other relevant international agreements, increase energy efficiency, technological innovation, and to initiate negotiations to develop a more inclusive international framework for climate change beyond 2012, with broader participation by both developing and developed countries, taking into account the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities. (p.8)


And here are just a few other highlights:

We rededicate ourselves to support all efforts to uphold, as enshrined in the United Nations charter…and the right of self-determination of peoples which remain under colonial domination and foreign occupation... (p.1)

I can't imagine what could possibly be Bolton's problem with “colonial domination and foreign occupation".

Where can we register our outrage? It's heartbreaking to witness the rape of the UN. Make sure to read the whole blog. It's a must read.

(edited to change title which was confusing but came from Arianna)

1. Bolton is a jerk, why do you think he was Bush's man
All Bush people suck Texas dick, even though it is small.
