John Bolton: Libya 'a strategic embarrassment' for Nato

[lebkuchen]

BBC's Stephen Sackur spoke to John Bolton at the annual Ambrosetti Forum on international affairs, at Lake Como, Italy, about America's economy, its military, and the current situation in Libya.

If you can find the entire interview, it's worth a listen. It's scary to think the US lived with this sick mentality for 8 years. The interview is also entertaining, watching a real journalist challenge this creep in a way the US media never achieved. (Bolton gets very combative w/Sackur, calling him a British "liberal").

I wonder how Bolton can leave the US w/o being arrested for war crimes.

2. Bolton's comments were so pathetic, Sackur started laughing a few times

Bolton said he would do away w/the World Health Organization if it interfered w/US interests.

Just whose interests does Bolton have in mind? Not the 44 million Americans w/o health insurance.

4. Getting rid of the WHO is already under way.

US diplomats spied on UN leadership

Washington wanted intelligence on the contentious issue of the "relationship or funding between UN personnel and/or missions and terrorist organisations" and links between the UN Relief and Works Agency in the Middle East, and Hamas and Hezbollah. It also wanted to know about plans by UN special rapporteurs to press for potentially embarrassing investigations into the US treatment of detainees in Iraq, Afghanistan and Guantánamo Bay, and "details of friction" between the agencies co-ordinating UN humanitarian operations, evidence of corruption inside UNAids, the joint UN programme on HIV, and in international health organisations, including the World Health Organisation (WHO). It even called for "biographic and biometric" information on Dr Margaret Chan, the director general of WHO, as well as details of her personality, role, effectiveness, management style and influence.
