Here's why the Administration wants John Bolton so badly
Posted by Jill | 7:09 AM

It's because they feel only Bolton has the ability to strong-arm the rest of the world into doing the Administration's will when people are ready to inconveniently reveal their lies and scare tactics when the Administration wants to invade a country:

John R. Bolton flew to Europe in 2002 to confront the head of a global arms-control agency and demand he resign, then orchestrated the firing of the unwilling diplomat in a move a U.N. tribunal has since judged unlawful, according to officials involved.

A former Bolton deputy says the U.S. undersecretary of state felt Jose Bustani ``had to go,'' particularly because the Brazilian was trying to send chemical weapons inspectors to Baghdad. That might have helped defuse the crisis over alleged Iraqi weapons and undermined a U.S. rationale for war.

Bustani, who says he got a ``menacing'' phone call from Bolton at one point, was removed by a vote of just one-third of member nations at an unusual special session of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), at which the United States cited alleged mismanagement in calling for his ouster.

The United Nations' highest administrative tribunal later condemned the action as an ``unacceptable violation'' of principles protecting international civil servants. The OPCW session's Swiss chairman now calls it an ``unfortunate precedent'' and Bustani a ``man with merit.''

``Many believed the U.S. delegation didn't want meddling from outside in the Iraq business,'' said the retired Swiss diplomat, Heinrich Reimann. ``That could be the case.''


After all, we can't have pesky rogue truth-tellers blowing the whistle when the Bush Administration wants to cook the books to justify war, now, can we? Especially when now that they're feeding us crap about "wanted terrorists" being harbored in Iran. It's starting to look like Scott Ritter was right once again, when he warned back in February that the Administration was planning to attack Iran in June.

Got a son who's between the ages of 18 and 35? You'd better wake up quickly, because unless they're planning to fight a now three-pronged war entirely with mercenaries, they're coming after him.
