#1 Have I mentioned today how perfect a choice this guy is? For a Yalie lawyer he didn't turn out half bad.

#2 Yup, the points above sound like a perfect resume.

#3 I especially like his defense of the right to keep and bear arms. The UN has long been tried to force all nations to disarm their citizens.

Bolton's public, objective assessment of NoKo is cherry on the self-defense cake.

#4 Lets hope that it signals a switch to opposition to LOST (Law of the Sea Treaty) which would vastly increase UN powers, bueachracy, taxes, etc.

#6 Ditto, Phil_b. I'm afraid the President is going to fall for it. Let's hope Bolton can straighten him out in time.

#7 President Bush has sent a strong message to the UN by nominating Bolton to the post of UN Ambassador. Are people offended by the blunt statements of Mr. Bolton, or are they offended by the truth? Heh heh.

#8 Karl Rove is probably working overtime to crank out press releases (on letterhead titled: Bush Haters United) exposing this Evil Bolton stuff, ... and the press is falling for it.

#9 The NYT's lead editorial is devoted to trashing Bolton, which shows to go you what a good choice Bush made. The editorial then mockingly suggests that maybe Bush's next appointment will be Rummy to negotiate a new set of Geneva Conventions. A capital idea, says I.

#10 Matt - I say go for it!

Too bad somebody won't ask Bush about this idea at a press conference.... :-D

#11 A trackback to Medienkritik's take on this topic made reference to "Jacqhard Chiroeder". I got a good laugh out of that. :)

#12 this gets Bolton out State, and lets Rice put one of her own in, while making Bolton the UNs problem, instead of Condis.

These folks are smarter than they look.

#13 You're just figuring that out?

#14 It's pretty funny - the leftist website that put out these quotes has a whole list of conservatives profiled, almost like the graduating classes of Soviet academies used to be profiled. You gotta love these guys - instead of going after our real enemies, they go after the people who are going after our real enemies. What a bunch of wankers.

#15 Mrs D - As to Condi's abilities as a bureaucratic manipulator, yes, shes proving better than I expected. I admit to underestimating her. She's certainly doing a better job at State so far, then she did at NSC.

#16 She was a very successful provost at Stanford. The stakes may not have been as big, but the egos were. The contrast with NSC shows me she is an executive, not a staffie. She should get Bush to talk Ahnuld into getting in the Senate and then she should run for Gvoernor. She needs the seasoning.

#17 Gotta disagree a bit Mrs. D. California's an absolute disaster and Dr. Rice would be well-advised to stay far away. On the other hand it's the perfect job for Arnold as his political upward mobility is limited.

#18 LH, remember that the National Security Advisor has very little staff and NO power over State, DOD etc. other than through the POTUS. At State you see Condi free to lead.
