White House Seeks a Way to Keep Bolton at the U.N.

President Bush's nomination of John R. Bolton as ambassador to the United Nations appears increasingly endangered in the Senate, prompting the administration to explore other ways to keep him in the job after his temporary appointment expires in January, officials said yesterday.

The situation represents a sharp turnaround from two weeks ago, when the White House was confident it could finally push through Bolton's long-stalled nomination. But last week's surprise move by Sen. Lincoln D. Chafee (R-R.I.) to delay a vote convinced Republicans on Capitol Hill that the nomination may be doomed, prompting a search for alternatives.

Administration officials said they have not given up. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice called Chafee yesterday to kick off a lobbying campaign that will continue today when he returns to Washington after his hard-fought Republican primary victory in Rhode Island on Tuesday.

Bush and national Republicans pulled out the stops to help Chafee win the primary, and they expect a payback. But with Chafee now preparing to face a strong Democratic challenger in a Democratic state in November, many Republicans said he has less incentive to support a firebrand figure such as Bolton.

"It's dead as far as the Senate is concerned," said one Republican official at the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, where Chafee holds the decisive vote. "Chafee made it a 9 to 9 vote, and that's not going to change." A Senate Republican leadership aide added: "Chafee holds Bolton's future in his hands, and people are very worried he's going to squeeze and never let go."

1. he shouldn't be at the UN

not for political reasons, not because he's an ass, but because in the year plus he's been there, he has proven to be completely ineffective and useless. he had a job trial, and failed. move on.

4. That would be seen as not "staying the course."

The Junta's America doesn't run from it's mistakes, it continues to make them over and over and over again. To do anything else is a sign of weakness and demonstration that we don't have the fortitude to make a decision and stick with it.

:puke:

2. Chafee can't change now

He'll be painted as a whore and hypocrite and Bush sympathizer. Everything he is trying to convince Rhode Island he is not.

3. I can't understand for the life of me ...

Why Bolton's barber or hair stylist doesn't convince him to have that *nasty looking THING* (supposedly a mustache) dyed to match the hair on his head?!? :shrug:

Creepy! :scared:
