Gingrich: Why We Need Bolton
The UN is a mess. Not only is it unable to do what it's chartered to do (be a champion of human rights abuses, make important definitions on things like what terror is, etc.), it can't even keep its own house in order: the Oil for Food scandal, allegations of sexual abuse of women and children by UN "peacekeepers" in Africa, and the loss of nuclear bomb plans are just a few examples of UN mismanagement.
The UN needs to be held accountable by its member nations...which is why the United States needs to get John Bolton confirmed as soon as possible. Newt Gingrich has this to say about the situation:
In the world of high-stakes diplomacy, ambiguity is dangerous. This may seem obvious but for the United States to be effective in the world, it has to understand and communicate its interests clearly. John Bolton will not disguise or camouflage the president’s interests. With John Bolton, there will be no question where the United States stands, which will of course threaten the defenders of the status quo in the U.N.
I couldn't agree more. Stop stalling, Senate Dems! Do the job you were elected to do, and put our country's interests ahead of petty partisan politics.
