Bolton's Next Move
On Monday, John Bolton said he "look[s] forward to working closely with this [Senate Foreign Relations] committee to forge a stronger relationship between the United States and the United Nations..." Not many people seem to believe him, but we think Bolton's got a plan to fix that. Recently, Move America Forward (MAF), a group that is working to "get the U.N. out of the U.S. and halt American funding of this corrupt and anti-American institution," starting running pro-Bolton ads. MAF's support doesn't really jibe with Bloton's promise to "forge a stronger relationship between the United States and the United Nations," but we think that's the point. Any moment now, expect Bolton to denounce the MAF ads and the support the organization is showing him. Pretty clever strategy; maybe this guy's got the right stuff after all.— GREG BEATO
