Democratic Games With Bolton

Blogs for Bush

All 8 Democrats on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee have indicated that they will vote against Bolton's nomination as US ambassador to the United Nations. This means that they've made up their minds; they've gotten all the information they need, and its a done deal, right?

Wrong...they want more info:

All eight Democrats on the committee have indicated they plan to vote against Bolton, citing his past hostility to the United Nations or his conduct in his current job. Democrats are looking for evidence that Bolton twisted government intelligence to suit his conservative views or mistreated lower-level analysts who tried to raise red flags.

What is at issue here is the State Department refusing to turn over yet more documents; they've turned over 500 pages thus far, and State now says they've given everything they can...yet the Democrats want more. What for? They've already made up their minds. This is one of two things: Either the Democrats decided to oppose the man before they knew all the facts, or they got all the facts and are just hoping to further delay the vote in the hopes that something will turn up to derail the nomination. In either case, this is sick political gamesmanship, unworthy of the upper House of the most powerful nation on earth.
