Neo-con temper tantrum at the UN

Who's a pompous crybaby now?

That would be John Bolton, king neo-con-artist himself. Apparently, he threw a big tantrum at the UN over a resolution against Israel. Dude, get over yourself. Ok, maybe the UN is full of holier-than-thou folks....so get the f#@K out! Why do you insist on being the US Ambassaor if you're such a hater?

CN The U.S. Ambassador to the UN, John Bolton, launched a scathing attack on the United Nations Friday.

Bolton was furious over the adoption by the General Assembly of a resolution which said the assembly regretted the deaths of 19 civilians in an attack by the Israeli military in the town of Beit Hanoun last week.

Despite the resolution being significantly watered down at the behest of the United States, and being passing by 156 votes to seven, Bolton launched a blistering attack on the UN, and many of its members.

"Many of the sponsors of that resolution are notorious abusers of human rights themselves, and were seeking to deflect criticism of their own policies," he said.

"This type of resolution serves only to exacerbate tensions by serving the interests of elements hostile to Israel's inalienable and recognized right to exist."

"This deepens suspicions about the United Nations that will lead many to conclude that the organization is incapable of playing a helpful role in the region," Bolton continued.
