Malloch Brown said the United States relies on the United Nations as a diplomatic tool but doesn't defend it against criticism at home, a policy of "stealth diplomacy" that he called unsustainable.

He lamented that the good works of the U.N. are largely lost because "much of the public discourse that reaches the U.S. heartland has been largely abandoned to its loudest detractors such as Rush Limbaugh and Fox News."

We're obviously not thinking properly and our government is to blame. In all fairness, FOX News admits to "hammering" the UN, but in my opinion the UN deserves it.

Message to Mr. Brown, we're the same people who elected Bush and our answer is Bolton.

"I spoke to the secretary-general this morning, I said 'I've known you since 1989 and I'm telling you this is the worst mistake by a senior U.N. official that I have seen in that entire time," Bolton told reporters on Wednesday.

"To have the deputy secretary-general criticize the United States in such a manner can only do grave harm to the United Nations," Bolton said.

Mr. Malloch Brown (if that really is his name) takes home $279,000/year, plus $120,000 year for a house he rents from George Soros. What, exactly, is his bitch ?

His problem is that he's concerned the gravy train is going to end due to reform or the UN's demise.

He's on the take, no doubt about it.

Regards, Ivan

The money is already being withheld.

On June 2, First Lady Laura Bush told the UN to preach abstinence when they tried to shake the U.S. down for more money for AIDS 'research'. Only days before, a major study had been published that said AIDS was, indeed, caused by some monkey business(!) DUH. Most of that information only verified what was known about the disease 25 yrs. ago. Two days before Mrs. Bush visited the U.N. (and smiled a smile that said "Not a dime") there was a sit-in at the U.N. HQ where "activists" of every virulent strain demanded more money for AIDS research. Read fat payoffs for Kofi and his crew.

Just look at these three incidents in one week. Major study(how much did that cost?) says the things we've known about AIDS all along, but it got alot of ink, then the 'activists' start their whiny BS for the media, who covered it better than they did Zark's bombing, and then our lovely and elegant and Texan First Lady Laura shows up and tells the bloodsucking leeches who continually pick our pockets to basically, jam it. All the while, smiling her lovely smile!

President Bush backed Bolton against heavy odds. Bolton is doing a great job and cutting them down to size. This creepy little bully, hyphen man Malloch-Brown, tried to push Bolton and the U.S. because they didn't get the payola from the AIDS deal. Does anyone really think that GWB and John Bolton are going to allow the U.N. to disarm Americans?
That's just some more bullying and threatening. I hope Bolton turns that place back into a sheep pen, which, ironically, it was before it became a black hole for American tax dollars.

What is Middle America anyway, a pejorative expression for American rustics?

In elite parlance, "Middle America" means "Red State America", where all us hicks and rubes hang out -- making moonshine, shootin' guns and watchin' NASCAR.
