John Bolton Kicks Ass

This is why the President wanted JB as his Ambassador to the United Nations and what that rogue's gallary needs a whole helluva lot more of:

The United Nations' funding of a Palestinian Arab propaganda campaign timed to coincide with Israel's pullout from the Gaza Strip has increased tensions between the U.N. and American officials.

America's newly installed ambassador to the United Nations, John Bolton, labeled "inappropriate and unacceptable" the United Nations Development Program financing of materials bearing the slogan "Today Gaza, Tomorrow the West Bank and Jerusalem."

Mr. Bolton said yesterday that the UNDP had failed to explain why it funneled money to the Palestinian Authority to back the production of banners, bumper stickers, mugs, and T-shirts bearing the provocative slogan as well as UNDP logos....

The response from the UNDP was not sufficient, Mr. Bolton said yesterday. "Funding this kind of activity is inappropriate and unacceptable. We plan to raise the issue with UNDP and with others," he said in a statement to The New York Sun. In effect, Mr. Bolton expressed to the UNDP that the most serious problem for his office was not the logo, but the fact that the agency supported that message with its checkbook.

William Orme, a spokesman for the UNDP, told the Sun by telephone yesterday evening, "We've seen Ambassador Bolton's comments, and we are taking this matter seriously."

They damn well better "take it seriously." It isn't just "inappropriate and unacceptable" for the UN to be indirectly using American taxpayer dollars to fund jihadi propaganda - it's anti-Semitic bullshit.

Of course, Ambassador Bolton is a diplomat, so he can't put it that way. But he's also an American diplomat, which is why he has raised the objection at all. And nobody that would have passed Democrat muster would have uttered a peep about this outrage, which is, in the big picture, a pebble amongst boulders.

Yes, there is indeed a new sheriff at Turtle Bay.

And he has the voice of E.F. Hutton.
