They’re back. The people who tried to defeat George W. Bush are the same people now trying to defeat his nominee for the United Nations, John R. Bolton.
And George Soros, MoveOn.org, the Democratic Party machinery and, not least, John Kerry hope to demonstrate, by so doing, they were right all along on what is, arguably, the most important national security issue of our time: Need America pass a “global test” to protect its vital interests?
In the 2004 campaign, John Kerry and his friends savaged George Bush for having an appropriately low regard for the current state of that institution. They reviled him for refusing to accede to the will of U.N. members like France, China and Russia — who, it turns out, were paid handsomely by Saddam Hussein to veto any U.S.-led action to liberate Iraq. They heartily agreed with Secretary General Kofi Annan that such action was “illegal” because it ultimately was undertaken without U.N. blessing.
In the face of this assault, George W. Bush made no apologies. He took his case to the American people that the United Nations had ceased functioning as its founders envisioned — as an engine for the protection and expansion of freedom.
He argued that it, if the institution were not to go the way of the feckless and ultimately disastrous League of Nations, it had to be willing to enforce its resolutions when, as with Iraq, they were critical to international security. And he explicitly sought a renewed mandate for providing American leadership when the U.N. could not, or would not, do so.
Mr. Bush won on that platform. John Kerry and his ilk lost.
Why are the democrats so afraid of John Bolton? Is it that they can’t control him like so many of their colleagues? Could some of them possibly have their pockets filled not with documents like Sandy Berger – - but rather money from oil for food?
At first I thought they would oppose any nominee for the sake of opposing them to spite Bush. I am now thinking that there is something we aren’t aware of at this time. It is the extreme far left that seems to be orchestrating everything.
King George Soros is being his usial self a liberal left-wing socialist idiot and along with Moveon(toward socialism)they are trying to stop boltons being a UN ambassator and the rich wealthy socialist like soros who should be deported back to where he came from if they could stand his arogance:mad:
It was not the dems who stopped the Bolton nomination from moving forward – it was a moderate republican.
What we are seeing is republicans breaking away from the iron grip that team Bush had on them during his first term.
Amen, Jim. Many R’s are fed-up with “you WILL vote as I tell you to” whether it’s from Bush, Cheney, Frist, or DeLay.
3- Uh, you might be right, but I don’t think so.:roll:
