Bush:'I'm not happy'about Bolton's resignation(You've been a stalwart defender of freedom and peace

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- An unhappy President Bush said Monday he regretfully accepted John Bolton's decision to leave his temporary job as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.

Senate opposition, led mostly by Democrats, doomed Bolton's confirmation to serve permanently.

"I'm not happy about it," Bush said during a farewell appearance at the White House attended by Bolton and his wife, Gretchen.

"I think he deserved to be confirmed. The reason I think he deserved to be confirmed is that I think he did a fabulous job for the country."

Turning to Bolton, Bush said, "We're going to miss you in this administration. You've been a stalwart defender of freedom and peace.

"You've been strong in your advocacy for human rights and human dignity. You've done everything that can be expected for an ambassador."

I believe W thinks 1984 is a self-help book for aspiring tyrants. "Cautionary tale" is a term that's not in his lexicon.

Things do not look good if members of your own party do not support you.

--George W. Bush, December 4, 2006 regarding UN Ambassador John Bolton's resignation

... or "made-up story."

Bush is never so truthful as when he's lying.

Hekate

John Bolton's departure from the U.N. is long overdue. Bolton was part of the information fixing process in the selling of the invasion of Iraq. He was no ambassodor, and an embarrassment to the U.S. as is President Bush.
Bolton like John Negroponte is leftover spoiled goods from the President Reagan (also known as the Butcher of Central America.)
Keep a close watch on Bolton's wherabouts - he is guilty of war crimes, and like many other Bush admin players, should stand trial for their crimes

TS, loser.

probably seen. it just shows me Bush thought he was going to win in 2006

It is going to be a very unpleasant two years. Consider whiskey.

this is unbelievable...
"You've been strong in your advocacy for human rights and human dignity. You've done everything that can be expected for an ambassador."

The president who has implemented torture and mistreatment of detainees, and the right to lock people up with no right to lawyers, no charges, and no trials, DARES to talk about human rights and human dignity? He is insane. He is even more insane if he believes that anybody with a shred of intelligence will believe his lies. Bolton was a disaster, which is why Bush supported him. They are both scum.

Seems to be SOP anymore...as a going-away consolation prize they receive a medal of dishonor from Bush...
:puke:

of never saying anything that is either plain truth or plain English.

From everyone who really gives a crusty fuck about Dear Leader's unhappiness over the loss of his Chief Sociopath to The UN?

no...didn't think so.

Just sayin'...

and others.

You've been a stalwart defender of freedom and peace.

This makes sense because these turds are from Bizarro World.

but it sure as heck wasn't this universe. Bolton was an international embarrassment, and we are better off without him.

Mr. Bolton is an ignorant, dangerous man. He sees the world through extremist eyes and his sole aims were old fashioned and could only serve one purpose: American Profit. He was a danger to the international community and an insult to Americans around the world. Thank god this was predictable... as predictable as President Bush leaving a legacy of shame for the USA. Mr. Boltons departure is great news for the world - I just wish Mr Bush would leave office as well... impeachment?
