What a shame. The consummate, highly effective, results-oriented, ally-making "diplomat" is resigning. snif snif snif


You're doing a heckuva job, dubya.

^^It is a shame. He was a good man. An honest man with
integrity. Something you are unable to recognize.

How do you know this ray? many of the folks who worked with and for him have exaclty the opposite view of him.. I know anything GOP = integrity

[clambake]

How do you find integrity in towing his companys line? He was just a parrot.

[Ya Vez]

so where are the complaints from him working at the UN this last term?

[boutons_]

"working at the UN this last term"

list his accomplishments

Thank you for your support but my integrity and honesty could no longer support a president who lacks both.

...when we stick our s down peoples throats itll be coated in cotton candy

bolton hasn't done anything wrong (yet that we know of), he's the wrong person for this diplomatic post. guy's an asshole. that's the image bush wanted for the u.s. but we need a shirley temple-esque ambassador so at least when we stick our s down peoples throats itll be coated in cotton candy

You hit the nail on the head for most folks. He
talked honestly and straightforward. Which in
this day and time is not allowed or is addressed
as hate talk.

The United Nations is a misnomer, no way, shape
or fashion is it United or a group of nations that
want to accomplish anything. No one but the
conservatives will admit to it. They, the UN, has
nothing to show for anything in the past 20 years.

So now the U.N. is a failure because it isn't a one-world government?

Here I was thinking that the international system of handling the more important things in life - like, say, public health - was moderately successful, but xray wants more black helicopters.

I'm confused.

No, it's a failure because it's patently and blatantly anti-American and anti-Semitic.

I should say so. Checked out who they have leading the U.N. Human Rights Committee lately?

I say we should withdraw our membership from the U.N., foreclose on the property they occupy and give all the delegates 24 hours to vacate prior to the commencement of demolition.

[xrayzebra]

I know Bob. But take a little more of Prince Valium
and you wont hear those helicopters and be so confused.

And do you mean like banning DDT, which brought back
malaria?

[Bob Lanier]

Checked out who they have leading the U.N. Human Rights Committee lately?

Now that's one aspect of the current international system I completely agree with conservatives on. No body should be allowed to intervene in the internal affairs of any sovereign state to enforce so-called "human rights".

You seem to be saying that the U.N. should be generally dedicated to enforcing American interests; in other words, a broadly expansive government to which everyone but the Americans (and Israelis, of course) are subject. Very convenient.

DDT

I must be clairvoyant.

Nope, and I'll be very clear for you; I'm saying the U.N. should revert back to what it does best, delivering bandaids and rice, and leave geopolitics to the adults.

I must be clairvoyant.

Yeah, that's it.

[Bob Lanier]

the U.N. should revert back to what it does best, delivering bandaids and rice

Which it does.

and leave geopolitics

In what way is the U.N. involving itself in geopolitics in any significant sense? The non-binding, non-enforceable resolutions it passes from time to time are no more noteworthy than those the U.S. congress (or any other legislative body) frequently wastes time on. They don't represent policy.

[xrayzebra]

^^They don't? Do you listen to the dimm-o-craps or
better still to those who oppose our foreign policies?

[cheguevara]

and the avalanche of Bush's mistakes being acknowledged continues

[clambake]

I don't get why other countries aren't thrilled with our foreign policies. As a matter of fact, if they don't shut their mouth, we should shut it for them.

I think the pres. has made his position clear. (this should please some of you)

He considers Iraq to be a new birth of democracy, which must also mean he's not pro-choice when conception occurs through forcible rape.

[jochhejaam]

How do you know this ray? many of the folks who worked with and for him have exaclty the opposite view of him.. I know anything GOP = integrity

Link please, where many of the folks who worked with him said he was dishonest and without integrity.

Thanks.

[PixelPusher]

Adults? Who might those be? Please name names.

[exstatic]

Oh, ing SNAP.

[exstatic]

I also love all of the Democratic obstruction spin. lloooooo? Republican congress? Your own party did you in.

[xrayzebra]

and the avalanche of Bush's mistakes being acknowledged continues

I haven't seen yet on his foreign policy. avalanche?

Don't think so, except on the left!

[smeagol]

No, it's a failure because it's patently and blatantly anti-American and anti-Semitic.

Instead of crying that the World is anti-American, why don't you try to figure out why is it that countries distrust America.

By the way, the UN is not anti-American, some of it's representatives are.

I say we should withdraw our membership from the U.N., foreclose on the property they occupy and give all the delegates 24 hours to vacate prior to the commencement of demolition.

Funny you say this about the UN when those famous UN resolution violations are the only cause for the Iraq war that is remotley close to being legit.

Ironic.
