The Senate Foreign Relations Committee sent the nomination of John R. Bolton to the full Senate without a recommendation for its approval, after Republicans fell short of the solid support among their members necessary to endorse him as ambassador to the United Nations.
...Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice issued a statement saying she was "pleased" by the committee vote and calling on the Senate to "now move quickly to confirm him so that he can begin his work at the United Nations."
Recommendation? They don't care about a recommendation. As long as he's on the Senate floor, he'll get the votes.
And with the votes, the Moustache of Sauron gets to go to the U.N. To trash all those humanitarian intitiatives. He's there to piss off all the developing world, to bewilder and enrage the Security Council.
This man is supposed to incite Armageddon. It doesn't matter that Bolton, the AEI, or the Theocons understand what they're doing. Bolton's a catalyst, and it's apparent he has no clue about anything but the surface consequences of his actions.
It's his job to be grating, arrogant, jingoistic, and stupid.
So the War Machine rolls on.
