Bolton on Ban Ki-moon

John Bolton has an editorial in the WaPo about the new UN Sec. Gen.

Don't Ban Your Instincts, Ban Ki-moon

Ban Ki-moon, the new U.N. secretary general, has done some unusual things to kick off his tenure. At the recent annual dinner of the U.N. Correspondents Association in New York, for instance, he entertained the guests briefly by singing, to the tune originally written for Santa Claus, his own arrangement: "Ban Ki-moon is coming to town."

On Tuesday, Ban is coming to this town, his first visit since assuming office on Jan. 1. The former South Korean foreign minister has already made it clear that he intends to be a different kind of "SG" from his predecessor. The United States backed Ban for his new post, largely with such a change in mind. Nonetheless, his first few days in office have already raised some questions. The struggle is underway to determine what sort of leader Ban will be: Will the status quo of the U.N. system overwhelm him, or will he follow his instincts and those of his supporters, including Washington?

I encourage you to read the rest here.

John Bolton Will Step Down From UN Post

Looks like the libs are succeeding in their efforts to completely hamstring America's foreign relations capabilities,\; John Bolton has announce he will step down. Here's an interesting quote from the story:

Critics have questioned BoltonÂ’s brusque style and whether he could be an effective public servant who could help bring reform to the U.N.

That makes about as much sense as, well, as any argument liberals try to make... Bolton is tough on the UN and doesn't give them everything they want, and this means he wouldn't help the process of bringing accountability and sense back to the UN? If that's true than maybe the libs should give GW everything he wants, you know, to bring accountabilityy back to the Executive Branch...

If the one person willing to stand up to the UN is gone, how are we to expect they'll change? And when we replace Bolton with some sissy who pats the UN on the back while they rape children, ignore tyrants andcondemnn Israel, that will bring reform? Let's see how that goes...
