UN is like the Twilight Zone, says Bolton

[ECH1969]

In his first interview with a British newspaper, America's ambassador to the United Nations tells Alec Russell why it is in dire need of reform

John Bolton was in his element. America's famously blunt UN ambassador and hundreds of other senior diplomats had just spent almost two hours twiddling their thumbs in a deadlocked meeting awaiting a letter from the secretary general.

Then moments after the document arrived, the session was adjourned as the representatives of the developing world retired to plot - successfully as it transpired - how to stymie a series of radical reforms.

South Africa's ambassador pledged that it would be for only a quarter of an hour. "I know those 15 minutes," said a deadpan Mr Bolton. "We have a bit longer than that, I think."

4. "It seems like he's been there for years already."

You can say that again. I bet the UN diplomats from the rest of the world feel the same way. I'm sure they'd love to drag him out by his silly ass moustache.

2. If the UN was the Twilight Zone

Then Bolton must be the Aliens in the "To Serve Man" episode.
Only instead of it being a 'cookbook' it would be a manual on how to commit murder.

6. I Remember That One

And how is Bolton Different from his masters? They're all gobbling us up.

5. I'm sure it is like that with Bolton in residence.

Talk about your self-fulfilling expectations.

7. Then it should fit in well with W's reality. nt

8. This must be the meeting where the developing nations said no

to the demands of the rich nations.

No wonder Bolton doesn't like the UN. At the UN the little guys have a say, or at least they did this time.

"With their aides, that is roughly 400 people waiting for one document and now we are waiting again."
