John Bolton named as US ambassador to the UN! From the BBC:
He has in past been quoted as saying there is no such thing as the United Nations.

He also reportedly said in 1994 that it would not make any difference if the UN headquarters in New York lost 10 of its storeys.

Here is a description by Pilger:
The "crazies" include John Bolton, Under Secretary of State, who has made a personal mission of tearing up missile treaties with the Russians and threatening North Korea, and Douglas Feith, an Under Secretary of Defence, who ran a secret propaganda unit "reworking" intelligence about Iraq's weapons. I interviewed them both in Washington.

BOLTON boasted to me that the killing of as many as 10,000 Iraqi civilians in the invasion was "quite low if you look at the size of the military operation."

For raising the question of civilian casualties and asking which country America might attack next, I was told: "You must be a member of the Communist Party."
