Bolton could not legally have been temporarily again made the U.N. Ambassador without being confirmed. Bush could only use that temporary option once. There was zero chance of Bolton being confirmed(remember he never was confirmed thus he could be U.N. Ambassador for only ONE year, on temp basis) i am sure Bush checked with legal counsel and he was advised he had NO legal basis to utilize the " temporary appointment", so Bush had NO choice. Bolton , remember, could not get confirmation a year ago. McCain expressed his unhappiness that this great patriot Bolton was blocked and said he will surely have place to serve his nation again. McCain is POWERFUL. Bush expressed anger that he could not get confirmation, he was NOT diplomatic about this blockage of Bolton. i see it as an NO indicator other than to note BUSH WANTED Bolton to remain as U.N.Ambassador---that a certainty as his remarks about those panel senators blocking him his appointment were bitter and sarcastic. And McCain was OVER THE TOP in his praise of Bolton and stating flatly he will serve again. Max

Re: Bolton's departure is another sign that a US attack on Iran is far from a done deal IMHO. Murphy's law From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia [...] For other uses, see Murphy's Law (disambiguation). Murphy's law is a popular adage in Western culture that most likely originated at Edwards Air Force Base in 1948. The Law broadly states that things will go wrong in any given situation, if you give them a chance. "If there's more than one way to do a job, and one of those ways will result in disaster, then somebody will do it that way." It is most often cited as "Whatever can go wrong, will go wrong" (or, alternately, "Whatever can go wrong will go wrong, and at the worst possible time," or, "Anything that can go wrong, will"). Murphy's Law is sometimes confused with Finagle's Corollary, which is also known as Sod's law. [...] en.wikipedia.org According to Murphy's Law, the question is not whether Judeofascists will attack Iran but when they will... I believe the next French presidential election scheduled for May 2007 can give us a clue. France, after all, is a UNSC permanent member and still a key player in the Arab world --from Morocco to Syria/Lebanon.... French media are currently abuzz with presidential hopefuls Ségolène Royal and Nicolas Sarkozy. The latter, an avowed Zionist, could prove instrumental in aligning France with the next Judeofascist crusade against Iran....
