John Bolton Tells His United Nations Story
November 7, 2007, 8:02pm
About a year ago, John Bolton ended his short tenure at the United Nations when the “recess appointment” President Bush had given him in August 2005 was about to expire and Bolton’s critics in Congress stood firm against confirming him to the post. These days, Bolton is telling his U.N. story in a new book.
He’s also getting plenty of press as a result of his tour to promote Surrender Is Not An Option:Defending America At The United Nations And Abroad
Steve Clemons of the New America Foundation, a leading critic of Bolton’s and the creator of the Bolton Watch blog, liked some of what he heard at Atlas On The Air.
“[W]hereas I disagree with Bolton vigorously on regime change in Iran and many other substantive issues, I was pleasantly surprised by his tone about diplomacy, his general willingness to acknowledge some importance of the United Nations, and his comment that “James Baker is the best secretary of state we have ever had.”
