UN sanctions are only as useful as the will of the feckless UN to enforce anything — and the usual practice at the UN is to prevaricate and cheat. Previous U.S. ambassadors to the UN, such as Richard Holbrooke and John Negroponte, have had a dismal record of calling the UN to account on such stuff — remember Oil-for-Food. John Bolton has managed the amazing art of getting resolutions passed while still– as far as possible for anyone working for the State Department — telling it like it is. With John Bolton soon to be gone, what’s the value of UN sanctions on North Korea?

1. Gayle Miller:Good reason for a loud, noisy and incessant campaign to be raised for Bolton’s retention RIGHT WHERE HE IS.
Also another good reason to vote Republican – retaining both Houses of Congress would be a salubrious splash of icy water in the face of the leftist scum inhabiting parts of Congress AND give our President the wherewithal to renominate and CONFIRM Mr. Bolton!
