"Washington does not have formal veto power when it comes to council statements. But it was nonetheless able to block the draft single-handedly because council rules require that statements be unanimous supported by all 15 of its members.

During Thursday's closed-door negotiations, the United States effectively killed the text by seeking amendment after amendment until Qatar, the council's sole Arab member, gave up the fight.

Asked by reporters to confirm that Washington alone had opposed issuing the statement, Bolton responded, "If I were the only holdout, I'd be proud of that fact."

2. Wow
two bullies against the rest of the world. . .

When I was a child, I never thought for a second that I would ever WANT the U.S. to fail/lose. Time and the fascist/theocrat alliance in the GOP have changed my views. I'm not religious, but some divine intervention right about now would be VERY Welcome.
