Bolton
From a Washington Post article: "Bolton Faces Tough Questions on Hill":
"In the diplomatic world, neither bluntness nor rhetorical sensitivity is a virtue in itself," the Indiana Republican said. "There are times when blunt talk serves a policy purpose; other times it does not.
Hear, hear! We don't need more polite talk, we need some bluntness. That's lovely that the UN wants to have little clubby meetings and pass meaningless resolutions that bash the US or Israel... but should have no part of it. The UN's General Assembly should research and discuss REAL issues and then make RECOMMENDATIONS to the few nations that actually have the power to get anything done. Then it might actually be relevant... maybe.
The New York Times says this was a rebuke of Bolton? I think it is exactly the reason why he is a good choice.
