It's interesting that the only place I've seen this reported is Fox News. |

I read last night that Bush is going to use a recess appointment to install him as ambassador, maybe as early as next week. |

I'm still not sure how appointing Bolton will help reform the UN or even further the US's interests. It's basically a big "FU" to the UN from the Bush Administration. |

So you admit that Bolton's nomination is more of an FU and less of an attempt to "reform" the UN as you have stated previously? |

I still don't trust that this is the right person for the job. I don't mind if the person has a strong personality and wants to go in and turn the place upside down and really reform the UN (we all know it needs it). What I am most concerned about are the allegations of abusive behavior. Bolton can be strong-willed (tough as nails), have a clear vision for what he wants to do at the UN, but to be abusive in his approach is unacceptable. Especially so in a position that demands intimate diplomatic knowledge and the ability to practice that knowledge. Which he will need to be able to do as Ambassador to the UN. |

How exactly is Bolton going to reform the UN by being obnoxious? I've never seen a good explaination for this. |

Gvok, I have some problems with this article.
That's the title, but when you read the article, the title should read "Bolton MAY HAVE inaccurately filled out senate panel questionnaire". I read this paragraph 3 or 4 times and it still makes no sense to me. If he was NOT interviewed and did not recall being interviewed, how is his form completion inaccurate? This is a possibility that needs an answer. The answer can make all the difference. This is just party politics and frankly is BS. Where in any job are you required to go back and change your application information before you have the job. Once you have the job, you would only change personal information like address or phone number. I completely disagree with Boxer on this. Now, if it turns out that Bolton was questioned before he filled out the questionnaire, that would be different. But the timing needs to be answered before anyone can judge whether there is any issue here. |

So you think what, that he's going to go to the UN, walk into the chamber with both middle finger's extended, and start berating everyone? Catch a clue. President Bush has his reasons for naming Bolton to that slot. He won't simply go in there and say, "I'm reforming you and you won't receive a dime until you do." |

What do you think he will do? Everytime I've heard him speak he's been obnoxious. It seems that more than a few of his co-workers think he's obnoxious as well. Why do you think he'll be any different when he goes to the UN (an organization he clearly has contempt for)? |

What is he going to do besides rant and rave? How is that going to accomplish anything? |

Oh grow up. Seriously. You really think that is all he does in life. This is beyond pathetic. |

Since none of us really know what he's going to do, I'm finding this whole discourse rather amusing.
