Ambassador Bolton?
Yes, the vote is today whether to say yea or nay to John "Yosemite Sam" Bolton. The Democratic Senators are opposed, and some Republicans are, too, but most think his name will go through this cranky bugger will end up our UN Ambassador. it doesn't help when you have a vocal Republican opponent, Ohio Sen. George Voinovich say something like this:"...he is the wrong man for the job...he would be fired at any major corporation today..." but if his fellow Republicans want him for the job, he "won't stand in the way".
Um, wait a second...
And speaking of having proper relations with UN countries...
Iraq continues to hate us as there have been two new car bombs today and two Marines were killed when their truck went over a roadside bomb...
AND Afghanistan decided to follow suit with the most violent anti-American protest since 2002 yesterday...3 people died amidst the protests.
AND to inspire more hatred, Human Right Watch has released a report detailing how terror suspects have been rounded up by the dozens and sent to Egypt for "extreme interrogations". The report discusses incidents going back as far as 1994, but discusses how most likely around 200 detainees since 2001 have been sent to Egypt without proper notification.
So with all these people hating us right now, it's no wonder the Army's had a little trouble recruiting. And due to them not meeting their quotas, some recruiters have resorted to bending the recruiting rules. Has this happened in the past? Sure it has, but not to the extent that the Army has had to suspend a whole day of recruiting (May 20th) to have a stand-down where they gather all the recruiters in one place and say "Okay, here are the LEGAL RULES OF RECRUITING..."
Yeah, I don't think your little smack-down on the UN is going help matter Mr. Bolton...but that's just me...
So while you step to the other side of the street to avoid the Army Recruitment office, remember to KEEP E-MAILING!!! E-mail, call, fax, write your friends and family, the press, and your Congressfolk and let them know that you are PAYING ATTENTION!! and as always, pass it on, pass it on, pass it on!
Peace --Alex
