That Bolton would spy on his fellow State colleagues would be yet one more feather in his cap, in the eyes of Cheney,Bush and Rove. Lets be real - in a normal world Bolton wouldn't even be allowed IN the United Nations building, much less be our counrty's Ambassador. His nomination says it all about the miserable failure the Bush Administration is. As it has been for 3.5 years now, all the non-political stench eminates from Dirty Dick Cheney's office.
Posted by T2 at June 6, 2005 12:47 PMWho else was W. Mark Felt spying on? What was he found guilty of? Why did President Reagan pardon him in 1982 without ANY consultation with Justice?
Posted by peter at June 6, 2005 01:20 PMThe more I think about it the more I'm pretty sure Ritter and Hersh are right: Bolton is going to be used to crash the UN as any kind of peacekeeping body and pave the way for more war in Syria and Iran.
Nothing else comes remotely close to making sense. If only we could take back the House in 2006.

You seem to be posting to the wrong thread.
Posted by r at June 6, 2005 01:40 PMPeter, Felt was acting head of the FBI, he could spy on anyone he wanted....just like they do now.
Posted by T2 at June 6, 2005 02:31 PMPeter,
The acting head of the FBI might need to be pardoned for...well, for reasons that might be beyond your imagination.
Posted by argus at June 6, 2005 02:50 PMThe Administration missed their calling when they decided on politics. They should have all become comedians, because the 1st thing one thinks of when Bolton speaks is of someone with the qualities to become an Ambassador!
Hmmm... just a tangent here, but... just who was it that outed Valerie Plame?
Posted by Thomas Ware at June 6, 2005 08:46 PMNaturally this is yet another remembrance of Watergate. However there is one huge difference between the two assualts upon the Bill of Rights. This time nobody will ask "What did the president know and when did he know it?"
