One More Thing About Bolton

David Asman had a very interesting point on Fox News today about this article in the Washington Post by Dana Milbank last week. The article is related to the John Bolton hearings on his U.N. nomination.

Most Republicans skipped the hearing, leaving Democrats largely unchallenged as they assailed Bolton's knack for making enemies and disparaging the very organization he would serve [emphasis added].

This is the difference between Democrats and Republicans (well, excluding GOP Senators Chafee and Voinovich). While Democrats believe the U.N. ambassador needs to suck up to Kofi Annan and serve the U.N., Republicans know that John Bolton ultimately serves the U.S. - not the U.N. I don't ever want to hear a Democrat again complain that the public believes they are weak on national security. They have that image for a reason.
