The Bolton Battle 2.0: Confirmation Hearing Tomorrow


Here are some very useful resources regarding the John Bolton confirmation hearing in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee tomorrow at 9:30 a.m.

First of all, The Washington Note will be there.

Second, for others who want to be there -- the hearing will be taking place in 216 Hart Senate Office Building (a big room).

I have been able to get copies of the talking points that the White House has distributed to both Jewish political advocacy groups as well as to other groups in favor of John Bolton's record:

1. Positive Press Clips on John Bolton (pdf file)
2. A Roster of Bolton Accomplishments (pdf file)


Those who are concerned about John Bolton's confirmation are amassing their own dossier on John Bolton -- and of course, there is an absolutely voluminous roster of material on TWN that can be easily searched to acquaint one with Bolton's full record, which extends way, way back.

Some golden oldies on Bolton include his close, and ultimately illegal relationship providing uncompensated legal counsel to Senator Jesse Helms, his presidency of the National Policy Forum -- a 501(c)3 non-profit institution founded by Haley Barbour that lost its non-profit status because of illegal partisanship in its programming objectives, his non-transparent relationship with Taiwan funding sources while providing testimony to Congress on Taiwan issues, his role in helping to promulgate the Niger Uranium story inside the State Department after it had been internally set aside by INR analysts, his efforts to beat and massage intelligence to fit preconceived political objectives in the build-up of the war against Iraq, his insubordination under Colin Powell and Richard Armitage and sabotage of America's North Korea diplomacy in 2001, and the list goes on and on.
