OUR John in the U.N. INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS -- BOLTON MORE COMMITTED TO RIGHT-WING THINK TANK THAN STOPPING GENOCIDE: During a Senate confirmation hearing yesterday, Sen. Russ Feingold (D-WI) questioned U.N. Ambassador John Bolton about his failure to attend the U.N. Security Council trip to Sudan in early June. Bolton responded that he had "a personal commitment in the United Kingdom” and couldn’t “break the commitment” to address the ongoing genocide in Sudan. (Watch the video.) The “personal commitment in the United Kingdom” that kept Bolton from going to Sudan was actually a speaking engagement at the Centre for Policy Studies, a right-wing think tank in London. Most other nations, including the UK, China and France, viewed the Sudan trip as a priority and sent their top representatives. Bolton has not attended any of the U.N. Security Council missions abroad since he was appointed as ambassador.
