According to Natl Review's, Byron York, democrats (mainly Joe Biden and Chris Dodd) are stalling Bolton's nomination due to some requests for names of covert agents...the requests are common, and during the time that Bolton made 10 requests, there were over 400 made by the entire state dept.
The state dept won't give the democrats the names of the covert agents, citing privacy concerns and the fact that the names would surely leak out if they handed them over.
Nothing is unusual about what Bolton did, and the democrats are well aware of this. They want to get the names of these people, based on their own fantasies of Bolton fixing intel, tho there's no real evidence to suggest he's ever done that.
The democrats claim, they're not filibusterting the nomination, but that's EXACTLY what they're doing.
Obstruction, negativity, and hateful rhetoric...the US Democratic Party 2005!
Americans soon grow weary of stupidity.
This has become the party of those without backbones. The dems want a pansy to send off to the UN to kiss Annan's butt...the right understands that this is a failed, often times anti-American and anti-semitic body that has royally screwed things up in the world, and that we need a man to deal with these fools. Bowing to the UN has gotten us nothing, and doing so in the future will be pointless as well. The left doesn't understand this simple fact...the right does, and that's the problem.
Well, that, and the fact that democrats hate Bush and are using Bolton to attack Bush and his foreign policy.
