Can anyone think of any major Democrat, other than Lieberman, who has shown half the outrage in regards to UN thievery as they have at the mere notion that Bolton put his hands on hips and pursed his lips?

And don't be surprised if the State Dept and Bush's team as well had them ignore or make it difficult for them to find certain incriminating pieces on Koffi.... and gang so they could use it as leverage. I don't think we really want Koffi and a house cleaning there - because the new guy is probably going to be worse. Maybe not... I just know there's all kind of machinations going on behind the scenes here... the kind that would make a Senate Investigation look apolitical.... this is after all literally a 'world government' unelected and completely bureaucratic.

Goldstone's dissimulation is of a piece with so much of the specious, if well crafted, apologias pro UN. Here's another example featuring similarly well crafted elisions, occlusions and dissimulations in the service of the UN entitled <a href="http://www.oilforfoodfacts.org/" rel="nofollow">Oil-for-Food: Facts</a>. Worth referencing nonetheless as it does contain some valuable facts, the interim reports for one, even if it often finesses them as well. R.

Draw your own conclusions as to why that 30 days is grave enough to let such an arch-criminal go without an official chastisement. It just don't add up, do it, sister? In all three of these cases, the infernal cauldron-masters have rhetorically so over-seasoned they can't bear the taste of what they want the nation to eat whole. That was it, Charlotte…thanks.

Incredible whimpiness. You have to give it to the Dems; they see the Bolton nomination as a cause to fight for, while the GOP has no conviction. From Chairman Limp **** Lugar on down; "the best lack all conviction while the worst are filled with passionate intensity."
