You could say that Mr. Bolton was sneaked into the U.N. through the back door in August 2005 when President Bush appointed him temporarily while Congress was in recess. Well, Mr. Bolton’s time is up at the U.N. due to having a lack of support from both republicans and democrats. Perhaps you can say, the only one that really wanted Mr. Bolton on the job was President Bush himself. His lack of style was an issue from the beginning of his term as a diplomat for the U.S. Republican Lincoln Chafee and Democratic Sen. Joe Biden have been adamantly and publicly critical of Mr. Bolton from day one.
I am glad Mr. Bolton has finally left with disapproval from Congress. With democrats taking control over congress next year it was highly unlikely he would have received enough votes for confirmation. The U.S. needs a new diplomatic leader to represent us at the U.N. as 2007 is all about fresh faces from our distorted and disillusion government that we currently have.
