John Bolton received this rousing letter of support from Congressman Scott Garrett on Friday:
Today, I sent a letter to Senators Richard Lugar and Joseph Biden, Chairman and Ranking Member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, urging the consideration and confirmation of John Bolton as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. John Bolton€™s aggressive advocacy for much-needed reform at the United Nations and strong support of one of America€™s greatest allies, Israel, qualifies him as an outstanding Ambassador. One instance where his exemplary leadership was shown was in his vote on November 17th against a United Nations General Assembly resolution which condemned Israel for defending itself in the Gaza Strip against the terrorist rocket launches into Israel. I applaud Ambassador Bolton for standing as a powerful force against biased and politically-motivated resolutions. Additionally, with corruption and mismanagement rampant throughout the UN, as evidenced by the recent €śOil-for-Food€ť scandal, it is clear that we need a strong voice for reform to represent our country to the world body.
Bolton’s response? He resigned rather than facing the most obvious result of the Democrat Senate refusing to confirm his nomination. We need a strong presence on the United Nations. That’s not going to happen with the politics at play right now. The Democrats can do nothing but obstruct any nomination Bush makes. So, look for no presence on the United Nations any time soon while the issues of Iran, North Korea, and others fester and become a bigger problem when one party or the other does take control.
The next two years are going to be the epitome of a useless and incapable Congress and Senate. Some people think this "divided government" is a good thing. I think it’s dangerous as hell at this time.
