John Bolton | Under cover of blood and misery

As always this administration turns a bloodbath to it's advantage. If they turned the evil elves they have working overtime turning misery to their advantage to doing good, just think what could be achieved. No chance of that though.
After the human misery that's being unleashed in Lebanon, Gaza and Israel they rush to Israel a new batch of fresh missiles and bombs. New bombs and missiles mean new profits for the corporations that make those bombs and missiles. Don't kid yourself that these people don't enter those profits into their diplomacy or I should say their anti-diplomacy.
Under cover of this latest round of blood and destruction that they've only made worse, and apparently at the top of the list(you know there's a list). Bushco and his Republican lapdogs are going to insert the fascist John Bolton permanently at the UN. Here from Mother Jones is the lowdown:

In recent years the White House has compiled a notably tawdry track record of squeezing political advantage from death and destruction. The leveling of the World Trade Center by a handful of Saudi nationals armed with boxcutters became, in its skilled hands, the administration’s pretext for renouncing the antiballistic missile treaty, embarking on a crash program of “Star Wars” deployment, and launching an invasion of Iraq. Hurricane Katrina became an opportunity to abrogate union-scale wages on federal projects.
Now, with hundreds of civilians being killed in the Middle East strife—and the bankruptcy of administration policy in the region becoming plain for all to see—the administration launches the effort to lock in Mr. Bolton before a new Senate might lock him out.
