Bolton: My Support ‘Would Probably Be The Kiss of Death’ For Next U.N. Head

The White House released a fact sheet yesterday entitled, “Setting the Record Straight: President Bush’s Foreign Policy Is Succeeding.” The sheet declares not once but four times that the administration “is rallying the world behind its policy,” and claims that “a consensus is building behind the President’s foreign policy approach.”

Actually, U.S. standing in the world has plummeted under the Bush administration, as John Bolton tacitly admitted yesterday. Asked who he would choose as Kofi Annan’s successor at the United Nations, Bolton acknowledged, “If I told you who I thought we thought the best candidate would be, it would probably be the kiss of death for that person.” Watch it:.

As far as Il Dunce's policy succeeding, consider the source.

Wasn't there talk at one time of Bill Clinton being interested in being the UN Secretary General?

He doesn't really give two cents, but interesting to hear him say this.

Bolton will be coming up for Senate confirmation soon?

He was appointed in recess for a term of 18(?) months.

The sad thing is that our Senate will probably approve him to protect Israel. It's all in the timing.

"There's no place like the UN" :D

literally be the kiss of death.

In addition, the UN envoy says his "rude and combative ways foil goals" ...
