How to Steal the Country While No One is Looking
Bolton appointed US envoy to UN
US President George W Bush has formally appointed John Bolton as US ambassador to the United Nations, without waiting for approval from the Senate.
Mr Bush said Democrats had forced him to bypass Congress by using “shameful delaying tactics” to prevent a vote.
“This post is too important to leave vacant any longer, especially during a war and a vital debate about UN reform,” Mr Bush said.
In layman’s terms, our president elect just appointed a man, who hates the very idea of the United Nations, as the country’s spokesperson to an international body dedicated to bettering foreign relations, being the watchdog for human rights violations, and furthering economic development in our war-torn world.
