Dems still pushing for global teast at UN

Frank Gaffney:


They're back. The people who tried to defeat George W. Bush are the same people now trying to defeat his nominee for the United Nations, John R. Bolton.
And George Soros, MoveOn.org, the Democratic Party machinery and, not least, John Kerry hope to demonstrate, by so doing, they were right all along on what is, arguably, the most important national security issue of our time: Need America pass a "global test" to protect its vital interests?

...

In the 2004 campaign, John Kerry and his friends savaged George Bush for having an appropriately low regard for the current state of that institution. They reviled him for refusing to accede to the will of U.N. members like France, China and Russia -- who, it turns out, were paid handsomely by Saddam Hussein to veto any U.S.-led action to liberate Iraq. They heartily agreed with Secretary General Kofi Annan that such action was "illegal" because it ultimately was undertaken without U.N. blessing.
In the face of this assault, George W. Bush made no apologies. He took his case to the American people that the United Nations had ceased functioning as its founders envisioned -- as an engine for the protection and expansion of freedom.

...

Mr. Bush won on that platform. John Kerry and his ilk lost. Mr. Bush wants an ambassador to the U.N. who supported the aforementioned policies and stances and who will effectively represent them on the East River. John Kerry, Joe Biden, Barbara Boxer and Christopher Dodd think we should have an ambassador who reflects their popularly repudiated view.
The Democrats should not be rewarded for the bad conduct in their advise and desent role.
