Whenever a new person is appointed by the Bush administration I always look at their background:

Big suprise there. oOo:

* Barbara Slavin and Bill Nichols, Bolton a 'guided missile' (http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington ... usat_x.htm), USA Today, December 1, 2003.

* David Corn, A No-Compassion Conservative? (http://www.thenation.com/capitalgames/i ... 3&pid=1076), The Nation, November 11, 2003.

Negroponte is going to rot in hell for his actions in south America. I still have no clue why anyone lets him have any sort of position in politics.

Because it’s the Bush Administration – logic and reason are abolished in flavor of aggression and stubbornness.

Btw hey Short. I decided to start posting here again, no real reason why… And I joined in the summer of 2000 - not 2002....
