Of course I thought the recess appointment of John Bolton to UN Ambassador was an example of George Bush’s failure to play nicely with others. It was bound to end in disgrace but The President must have thought that he could cope with bad press on the back end. The “go it alone” decisions have not had good outcomes but that doesn’t stop him from making the next one.
So, Mr. Bolton made enemies at the UN. I don’t think that surprised anyone familiar with his record. But, if his agenda was so close to the hearts and minds of conservatives, why couldn’t he be confirmed by a Republican controlled congress? Could it be that even his friends didn’t see the sense in appointing someone who thinks the entire organization should be dismantled?
