This is part of what I mean when I state that things may just have gone too far. Not only did Congress confirm every nominee from Rice, to Gonzales, to Chertoff, to Negroponte, to Goss, now we have to deal with Bolton who in my view was not appointed according to our constitution. Is there anything we can do to call for his recall as UN Ambassador? As if those of us who know Bush didn't know this would happen...
Scrap The Ideals, Bolton Tells UN
By David Usborne
07/26/05 "Independent" -- --- America's controversial new ambassador to the United Nations is seeking to shred an agreement on strengthening the world body and fighting poverty intended to be the highlight of a 60th anniversary summit next month.
In an extraordinary intervention, United States appointee John Bolton has sought to roll back proposed UN commitments on aid to developing countries, combating global warming and nuclear disarmament.
My God, this really is the end if this $%# is allowed to get away with all of this. Does this action now prove to those of you who think these people can be talked to, that they cannot be talked to or reasoned with? These people are sociopathic, and they are OUT OF CONTROL. Rolling back aid to developing countries is committing murder. Not combating global warming is ecological suicide. And working to thwart nuclear disarmament tells me what they are really made of. As it says in the Bible, "By their fruits, ye shall know them," and their fruits show that they are evil. How much more of this are we going to take? Will it have to come to nuclear war to wake the hell up to what these people are about? This is why I ask why protests will do any good at this point (and that is not because I don't approve of them, but I see this as all so very crucial, that we need to be doing more along with that, and at this point, I don't even know what that is!)
Ambassador Bolton has demanded no fewer than 750 amendments to the blueprint restating the ideals of the international body, originally drafted by UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan.
Ok, watch this, because they are gunning for Kofi Annan because he spoke out against the war in Iraq, so he is also a target. For them to have infiltrated every level of our government and to think they will now have so much influence on world bodies, also tells me unequivocably that Bush is the Anti-Christ, and I am not joking. NO MAN could do all of this while publicly wearing Christ on his sleeve and truly be a man of God. And Bolton and all the rest of them are his minions from Hell.
The amendments are spelled out in a 32-page US version, littered with deletions and exclusions. Most strikingly, the changes eliminate all specific reference to the so-called Millennium Development Goals, accepted by all countries at the last major UN summit in 2000.
The Americans are also seeking to remove virtually all references to the Kyoto Treaty and the battle against global warming.
They are striking out mention of the disputed International Criminal Court and drawing a red line through any suggestion that the nuclear powers should dismantle their arsenals.
Instead, they are seeking to add emphasis to passages on fighting terrorism and spreading democracy.

Bolton.
I couldn't bear to quote anymore of it.
Excuse me, but how do you have thriving DEMOCRACIES without environmental stewardship, peace, and justice? OK, Bush supporters with the rose colored glasses on... DO YOU NOW SEE THEM FOR THE BS ARTISTS THEY ARE YET? And tell me that now with a civil war looming in Iraq, that Iran isn't on the table.
So again, this goes out to all of you who may have some knowledge about this. Is there any way we can call for the recall of John Bolton as UN Ambassador? Or are we just going to have to suck it up and pray that by 2006 we aren't all blown into oblivion?
