I checked but see this article post. Sorry if it's a repeat.

I messed up! Sorry about that. I'll go back and get a few lines to put in.

Hear that noise?

That is the UN jaws hitting the table as they read this.

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said yesterday she expects John R. Bolton, Washington's ambassador-designate to the United Nations, to lead an overdue shake-up of that organization.

"John Bolton was my first choice," Miss Rice told editors and reporters in an interview at The Washington Times.

"I think John is a straightforward, tough-talking, very good diplomat, and I think that's what you need at the United Nations."

Mr. Bolton has been an outspoken critic of the United Nations.

"I think John is a straightforward, tough-talking, very good diplomat, and I think that's what you need at the United Nations."

In the mold of President Bush.

"Do ya feel lucky p-U.N.-k? Well do ya?"

Its good to see we have a Secretary of State, a UN ambassador, and a President who do not worship at the altar of the United Nations.

I would be tempted to withdraw from the UN altogether, if it were my call, but second down from that is to demand its reform, which is what Bush and Rice are prepared to do.

She said tha Bolton is expected to lead the effort to "reshape the world body, and he would do so as an integral part of the Bush administration."

One could read that as we'll be making it over in our own image.

SIX CRITERIA THAT THE U.N. MUST MEET IN ORDER FOR THE U.S. TO REMAIN A MEMBER:

(1) Move headquarters out of New York

(2) Independent oversight of finances by the GAO

(3) Reduce U.S. aid by 50%

(4) Ban all active and former U.S. military personnell from participating in any U.N. peacekeeping or military exercise

(5) Allow the U.S. the option to be exempt from any U.N.-sponsored treaty or ruling that come in conflict with the U.S. Constitution

(6) Terminate any U.N. holdings in U.S. land and property, such as the World Heritage Sites

They may have to remake the Senate to get Bolton approved or anything else done.

Kick A$$ and take names *ping*

And the beautiful thing about it is the senate democrats can't do a damn thing to stop this. It's one of their worse nightmares coming true and they are in a hissy fit about Bolton and the insinuations by this administration that their sacred United Nations is about to become much more pro-USA or die.
