John Bolton Rocks [the UN]!

*SCROLL* FOR LATEST UPDATES AND BOLTON VIDEO

John Bolton is firing everyone. I say jail time too. Crimes against humanity.

John Bolton, like fine wine, just keeps getting better and better. How he manages to accomplish so much  in such a cesspool is one  for the books.  While Malkin is reporting that The United Nations is calling for censorship of the US (hat tip David);

The United Nations is complaining that Americans are undermining it with criticism--you know, because the actions of its own corrupt, incompetent officials have nothing to do with its squandered credibility.

The 'esteemed' Warren Hoge over at The New York Times wrote a 'serious' piece on this whining. In Yiddish there is an expression "on duh gonif brent a hittle" translation: "on the thief the hat burns."  In other words, Mark Malloch Brown's head is on fire.

Secretary General Kofi Annan's deputy assailed the United States on Tuesday for withholding support from the United Nations, encouraging its harshest detractors and undermining an institution that he said Washington needed more than it would admit.

Agreed. It needs a complete overhaul, starting with terminating Brown.

"The prevailing practice of seeking to use the U.N. almost by stealth as a diplomatic tool while failing to stand up for it against its domestic critics is simply not sustainable," said the deputy, Mark Malloch Brown. "You will lose the U.N. one way or another."

It's lost. Completely, utterly morally bankrupt.

In a highly unusual instance of a United Nations official singling out an individual country for criticism, Mr. Malloch Brown said that although the United States was constructively engaged with the United Nations in many areas, the American public was shielded from knowledge of that by Washington's tolerance of what he called "too much unchecked U.N.-bashing and stereotyping."

Highly unusual indeed. But The Times was right there, lapping up it up like a good little organ grinder's monkey.

Who was it that said, "they only conspire against greatness." Reading this spineless sobfest would  be funny if the UN weren't in a position to be so dangerous. Hey John, you must be doing something right. You have them on the run...... running to their propaganda organ The New York slime Times.

"Much of the public discourse that reaches the U.S. heartland has been largely abandoned to its loudest detractors such as Rush Limbaugh and Fox News," he said.

Two voices in a chorus of screaming lefty lunatics (and Fox just barely but to be fair they are the only network that have done important reporting on the greatest swindle off the backs of the oppressed in world history - oil for food.)

''The U.N.'s role is in effect a secret in Middle America even as it is highlighted in the Middle East and other parts of the world,'' Malloch Brown said.

I love when they talk down to the American people. Like we don't know our ass from our elbow.  Just the opposite Brown, we (me and Middle America) are so onto you.

U.S. officials, including Bolton, said they were especially upset that Malloch Brown, a Briton, mentioned ''Middle America.''

Bolton said Malloch Brown's ''condescending, patronizing tone about the American people'' was the worst part about the speech.

Woot!

''Fundamentally and very sadly, this was a criticism of the American people, not the American government, by an international civil servant,'' Bolton said. ''It's just illegitimate.''

Love that man.

John Bolton, with truth as his sword (ha!), is cutting the fat, man. John, I don't think there is a cannula large enough to suck out all that fat. Bring in the Marines.

U.S. Wants Top Aides at the U.N. to Resign When Annan Leaves

In a move bound to ruffle feathers at Turtle Bay, the American ambassador, John Bolton, yesterday advocated mass resignations by the top appointees who run the United Nations bureaucracy, so a new secretary-general, who is scheduled to assume office at the beginning of next year, could pick his own team.

Mr. Bolton, a strong believer of sweeping change at the United Nations, told The New York Sun that once a new leader assumes office on January 1, not only should the heads of various departments, known by their title of undersecretary-generals, leave, but also those directly underneath them, known as assistant secretaries-general.

"I strongly recommend that all appointees, ASGs and above, should resign their posts to give the new secretary-general a lot of flexibility," he said

Such mass resignations could extend to top movers and shakers at the United Nations, where for the last 10 years Secretary-General Annan presided over some of the roughest periods in the history of the institution.[and might I add the very worst 10 years in UN existence, the worst - Atlas]
The article is The New York Sun here

He's right of course. Expect a low down dirty fight. Those pigs will not move away from the trough $ without some real ugliness.

But I do think the US should censure.... it's wallet

UPDATE: U.S. Rep. Henry J. Hyde (R-IL), Chairman of the House International Relations Committee Con Brown's comments here:

" Deputy Secretary-General Mark Malloch Brown has unfortunately misinterpreted United States objectives at the United Nations. U.S. insistence on reform is a recognition of the U.N.'s global importance. Linking U.S. contributions to the U.N. with essential U.N. reforms is not 'unchecked U.N.-bashing and stereotyping,' but an effort to induce reforms that will allow the United Nations to serve its invaluable function. The reforms we support are reforms that the Deputy Secretary-General himself acknowledged are essential."

d'oh (why bother?)

UPDATE: You must WATCH THIS VIDEO. Casting pearls (Bolton) before swine Malloch

Ambassador John Bolton:"This was the worst mistake by a UN official in more that 25 years". ....Gateway has more here

UPDATE: June 8 From New York Sun editorial "Who lost the UN";

He [Malloch] complained that Americans — he didn’t call them “stupid hayseeds” but he implied it

And then he got to his point – which was to enter the 2008 American election campaign against the Republicans. He tried to disguise that as a bipartisan remark, talking about not only Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt but also Arthur Vandenberg and John Foster Dulles. “Who are their successors in American politics?” he demanded. “Who will campaign in 2008 for a new multinational national security?” It was a veritable call to the hustings to the John Kerrys and Albert Gores of the Democratic Party left. It was a public bet on the Democrats taking control of one or both houses of the Congress. His landlord, Mr. Soros, must have been rubbing his hands in glee. It may be that the Democrats will win. But it may not. And if the U.N. is lost, the historians will ask, Who lost it?

Bolton is Da Man! If the UN can be saved at all (which is questionable at best), it will be Bolton and his like that save it.

(BTW, Atlas, I'm that "David". Just so you know.)

If we would just shut up, pay up, and listen to our betters, all would be well. Well, OK, UN diplomats would still be getting oil for food payoffs, UN peacekeepers would be raping their way through Africa, and the policemen in East Timor would still be dead, but...

Don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out, Mr two last names. Take the Useless Nations sign with you.

Mr. Brown and the rest of the Turtle Bay thieves can pack up and leave these shores at their convenience.

Typical leftists, they blame everyone else instead of taking responsibility for 10 years of crime, corruption and deceit.
