U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. John Bolton said ahead of a Security Council meeting Tuesday that the standoff was one "between North Korea and the rest of the world," which will result in sanctions or more serious punishment.

He refused to rule out military action, including a naval blockade, but emphasized that President Bush wants to resolve the matter using peaceful means.

"I think that North Korea has had a successful history of intimidating other countries," Bolton said on CBS' "The Early Show." "They're not going to be successful with us."

China has long opposed sanctions sought by countries such as the United States, which is pressing for potentially crippling new measures against Pyongyang.

1. In other words

even Israel won't go along with our plans to bomb Iran, so we're switching back to North Korea.

Gotta have a distraction.

[Hissyspit]

2. "Get a life!" he said, talking down to people the way Rumsfeld does.

That was his response when asked if the infamous "Axis of Evil" speech was, in any part, to blame for North Korea's recent agressive nuclear development.

5. and this man represents the United States of America?

He sounds like a fucking nine year old. :argh:

[HughBeaumont]

12. Absolutely.

Who's to blame? The enabling idiots who made the 2004 election close enough to steal.

They bought the ticket, they takes the ride. Unfortunately, the rest of us are headed off of Armageddon Ravine with them.

3. Bolton what a waste of a human being

he is no diplomat.

4. Re: your Bolton pic. .. . .

Bolton & Guernica, a fitting combination. It looks like the figure is fleeing in terror from him.

[leftchick]

6. That is why I chose it

very fitting indeed. I am shocked he hasn't asked to have it covered.

7. BOLTON = IRAN / CONTRA = NEGROPONTE = SHAME and CRIME!

[Divernan]

8. He looks like Captain Kangaroo's evil twin - w/ a bad dye job.

9. I listened to the lady last night who was the Ambassador to Korea

when BC was Prez. Sorry, I don't remember her name, but she sure was a brilliant woman. I only WISH we had people like that NOW!

[leftchick]

11. I have seen her on TV several times now

You are right she was very impressive, smart and articulate. All qualities sorely lacking in Dolton.

10. Bush is out there winning america's lost wars

Bush has turned iraq from a loss to a democracy.
He wants to turn Korea from a loss in to a democracy,
and Viet Nam from a loss in to a democracy.

Republicans never forget, no matter they're utterly clueless.

13. A GOPer fat cat don't need to be smart he just needs to be a crony

and to lie without blinking.

[spanone]

14. He's a smart-ass, just like his boss.

If I were Kim Jon Ill I'd tell him to go fuck himself.

[marmar]

15. I hate just about every member of BushCo...

but I have a particular disdain for Bolton. I cannot stand that man - I fill with rage when I see his face. I'm against torture, but I'd love to drag him around Manhattan by his moustache.
