I didn't realize anyone was still listening to John Kerry...
Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass, said Bolton's departure could be a turning point for the administration.
"With the Middle East on the verge of chaos and the nuclear threats from Iran and North Korea increasing, we need a United Nations ambassador who has the full support of Congress and can help rally the international community to tackle the serious threats we face," Kerry said. He said it was an opportunity for Bush to nominate an ambassador "who enjoys the support necessary to unite our country and the world and who can put results ahead of ideology."
I thought Rumsfled's departure was supposed to be a turning point. What kind of turning point is Kerry talking about? What kind of results is Kerry looking for during this time of chaos and nuclear threat that would have made Bolton the wrong man for the job? Who could he possibly have in mind that "enjoys the support necessary to unite our country and the world and who can put results ahead of ideology?" Bill Clinton, king of the world, maybe? |
