The U.S. shouldn’t be making deals with the Somali “government,” because it’s not really a government at all. Until some real peace can be established there, the U.S. should just stay away from that situation. It’s like asking for another Mogadishu.

why is anon even still in power at the un after the oil for food scandal?? no wonder for all those years the UN let Hussein run rampant. Ol Kofi and his sleazy son were raking in millions from the Iraqi people’s suffering. We need to get the US out of the UN and use the UN buliding for something good.

John Bolton is a TEMP!!! But with this event, BushCo is repeating the same process that gave us Saddam Hussein, and Osama bin Laden. First we ‘befriend’ them, then ‘use’ them, then they turn on us, and use everything they got from us, against us. Why should this time be different?

Someone needs to control him before he instigates an international incident.

HOw To dEal With JOhn Bolton

You write him a letter that says “Don’t ever come near me.”
You ignore him at all meetings. Everyone at the UN should do this.
If he comes near you, you ask him to leave.
If he doesn’t leave you haul him out in handcuffs.
If he gets in your face and threatens you, in defense you knock his block off.

That’s how u deal with a neocon – if you must.

Sure, these are the same Somali warlords who were shooting at (and killing) U.S. soldiers and Marines in â€˜93. But those were Clintonâ€™s soldiers and Marines, so it doesnâ€™t count.

Donâ€™t you see?

But they weren’t Clinton’s soldiers – Bush senior is the one who sent them to Somalia shortly before leaving office. Clinton inherited that mess from Bush senior and had nothing to do with creating it.

Bolton reminds me of that little dog every neighborhood has.You know the kind.It yaps and barks ferociously at anything coming near it property. And yet everyone in the neighborhood (except the dog) considers it nothing but a useless pain in the butt, safely to be ignored.

Bolton is a loose cannon in a potentially dangerous position. He couldn’t get confirmed so he is a recess appointment whose term expires next year.
Someone needs to control him before he instigates an international incident.

Bolton is a PNAC member, he has…shall we say somewhat of a diseased mind.

He’s out as of Jan ‘07. How the world can take anything this recess appointment says seriously is beyond me. He’s like a drunk uncle at a wedding…but with more power.

Unfortunately,

Bolton may actually be an accurate representation of America, he’s ignorant, arrogant, and a bully. Sad to say.

Bolton is just another republican boy sent to do a man’s job. He fails intellectually and diplomatically. We have isolated ourself from the rest of the world, Bolton is just the bulldog on the porch holding everyone out. I’m sure there are 1,001 Bolton jokes circculating at the UN. The laughter at our country is embarrishing be it deserved.

Let’s just face the facts.

Those that are leading this administration are tone deaf, dumber than nails & arrogant about it to boot. It’s the arrogance that gets me the most.

Of course Annan was being critical of our attempts to defeat this Islamists. It is better for the rest of the world when America is forced to stand alone. Aside from our coalition-of-the-willing, the rest of the world, and the U.N., can be damned to Hell.

This is all part of the broader Bush GWOT plan:

we’re supporting radical maniacal killers “over there” so they don’t attack us “in the homeland”.

It makes perfect sense.
So why would anyone criticize it? Unless they’re terrorists. Send those disagree-ers to Gitmo.
