He was <strong>NEVER</strong> the US Ambassador to the UN. On August 1, 2005, Bush officially made a <strong>recess appointment of Bolton</strong>, installing him as <strong>Permanent US <em>Representative</em> to the UN</strong>. Bolton was so reviled even by Republicans that his appointment as Ambassador was never confirmed. Bolton is a jerk and a loser, and never US Ambassador to the UN.
