US Politics: BOLTON in the UN

righthand

I have never understood why anyone with half a brain would support promoting a thug like Bolton as a diplomat. The man is a liar and bully on his good days, and he doesn't seem to have many of those. Better to be honest and to pull out of the UN than to send a rabid pit bull in as representative. Anyone who honestly thinks that Bolton will reform the UN is seriously delusional. There are a number of points to be understood.

First, it doesn't matter who the candidate is. HE MUST SUCCEED. Or else the whole pile of cards come tumbling down. The whole credibility of the administration is dependant on their choice succeeding. When they succeed there will be less resistance next time. If they're resisted then the BACKBONE that the rest of the US has lacked for some while will be strengthened. This point more than any other highlights the corruptness of the system.

Secondly, past endeavours must be REWARDED. Each cog must move up a gear in line with all the other cogs. He's the last in line. The reason is that they must be kept QUITE. A disgruntled conspirator is difficult to control. Their loyalty must be paid for. You must keep thinking MAFIA.

Third, think of the POPE. It doesn't matter if George is capable of an original thought or not. The perception of omniscience must be preserved. (Now, this makes sense of why he was in Rome - filling up on omniscience.)The notion that God speaks to him, in making his choices is a large part of it. He may well believe this himself. I don't know who's pulling his chain, but someone with his mind is easily manipulated. It's likely that it's Cheney. There may even be an outside power controlling everything!!!

Fourth, it's the COKE thing. American business and administration does not believe in the collegiate system. The best example of it not working was when Coca Cola's boss decided one day that the old formula was out and his new one was in. It's apt that an expression that highlights this has Emperor in it, as in "the Emperor's new clothes." I'm sure this expression is banned in US boardrooms. "El Duce has spoken" is more common. A glaring example of this going wrong is see in the Downing Street Minutes. Americans would not notice, but for once, the British cabinet was railroaded into signing on for war with NO debate. Claire Short attempted to speak but was muzzled. Blair will not attempt that ever again on a cabinet. Does this need more detail?

Fifth, it's the ROLLOVER thing. When an obvious bully gets the top diplomatic job, what message does that send out to the world. That you would like to be friends? You must be joking. It says WE ARE BULLYS, WE LOVE IT and WE DON'T CARE WHO KNOWS IT. Unlike Khrushchev and the shoe incident, Bolton won't even have to take his off. The UN will rollover and do what BULLY BOLTON wants, until one day he will go to far. The whole of the UN will unite against him and the UN will stop. Bolton will either get promoted or develop health problems, leaving behind a UNITED UNITED NATIONS!!!

Secretary of State for International Development.] Her Resignation Statement...."and our Attorney General, belatedly but very firmly, said there was legal authority for the use of force. And because the Opposition was voting with the Government the conflict was unavoidable. I decided I should not weaken the Government at that time and should agree to the Prime Minister's request to stay and lead the UK humanitarian and reconstruction effort. However, the problem now is that the mistakes that were made in the period leading up to the conflict are being repeated in the post-conflict situation." http://www.globalpolicy.org/security/issues/iraq/attack/statement/2003/0513resignation.htm[/quote]

IIRC there's already been a thread about this (with coherent agruements!)
