John R. Bolton's nomination to be U.S. ambassador to the United Nations sent shivers through the 191-member organization and the international community. All were stunned at the choice of a man whose unilateralist and unrealistic attitudes toward international issues have made the world a less safe place.
His nomination appeared more appalling since the Bush administration had previously announced it planned to repair its image, which had suffered greatly due to the scandal-hit invasion of Iraq launched under the guidance of hawks like Bolton and other officials who Nelson Mandela once called the dinosaurs surrounding Bush.

If Tehran is opposed to Bolton, he's the perfect man for the job.
Sen. Voinovich's next official statement: "I had planned on voting for Bolton, but a recent article in the Tehran Times brought out some new data. I'm no longer comfortable with this nomination."
ROTF!!! The Dems and the mullahs are on the same side. Go figure.
One more reason to support Bolton.
Are there any more doubts as to Bolton's qualifications?
Boy, America's enemies sure march right along in lockstep, don't they?
Bolton is definitely that man for the job. The Tehran wipe has just given him a hugh endorsement in my opinion.
Okay, so this is from one of the least tolerant, hateful nations in the world. Ahhhh, their wisdom ... nope.
"If Tehran is opposed to Bolton, he's the perfect man for the job."
Bingo. It's the best recommendation for the man I've heard to date.
You ain't kidding. Sheesh. Siding with the Iranians and the UN. Great googly moogly. If only all the nation's enemies were as dim as the Dems!
If Tehran is opposed to Bolton, he's the perfect man for the job.

There it is!!! You nailed it -- nothing else needed.
For a second there, I thought this was The New York Times.
Sounds like Hitler's response when Churchill got the job of PM.
pong
We all know the U.N. is irrelevant, but perception is everything in the "international community" that the liberals like John F'n love so much.
If we're going to have to participate in the sham, I'd at least love to send someone who pisses terrorists (and liberals, as if there's a difference) off -- and Bolton's perfect.
Isn't that an intoxicating Japanese drink?
There's a country we want to listen to...../sarcasm
Tehran Times = NYT
I wouldn't be at all surprised if the source for the article was either DNC talking points, the NYT front page, or both.
With people of Colin Powell's and Richard Armitage's ilk essentially on our side, the battle is worth fighting. I tend to want to match with smiles and rationality the sneers and snarls from Cheney and new Bolton buddies David Frum and Gary Bauer. But it is nonetheless feeling more and more like an epic battle, which as Frum wrote yesterday is turning out to be a battle about "the presidency itself."
I certainly hope that Mr. Bolton is approved by the Senate, and I can only imagine the collective conniption fit of such a group when and if the President prevails.
My thoughts exactly
He's the RIGHT MAN at thr RIGHT TIME!
Well, save this and compare to the Democratic National Committee talking points distributed over the coming weekend. I'll track the MSM on this one and let you know.
Iranian wackos, Democratic wackos! They're all the same.
