Bolton Gets Buddy-Buddy With U.N. Diplomats

U.S. Ambassador John Bolton used his new platform at the United Nations Thursday to issue a stern warning to two nations that President Bush has accused of destabilizing the Mideast and supporting terrorism.
[...]
"We call on all members to meet their obligations to stop the flow of terrorist financing and weapons, and particularly on Iran and Syria," he said.

Good to see Amb. Bolton hit the ground running!
We need him at Turtle Bay more than ever right now.
Another good one, President Bush.

[...]
And if Bolton's recess appointment Monday by Bush was supposed to make him a leper at the United Nations, the way Bolton opponents predicted, no sign of it was evident during his debut at the U.N. Security Council Thursday.

Several ambassadors, including those from Algeria, Argentina, France, Russia and China expressed welcoming wishes and expressions of enthusiasm to working with the former State Department undersecretary.

Excellent!
Good thing the denizens of the real world aren't partisan Democrats!
