...and unfortunately, the Immovable Object won this round:
John Bolton, Washington’s U.N. ambassador, tried to open his first meeting as head of the Security Council at 10 a.m. sharp on Thursday—and was irked to find no other diplomats showed up.
“I brought the gavel down at 10. I was the only one in the room,” Bolton said. The United States has just assumed the rotating presidency of the 15-nation council for the month of February.
“I believe in discipline. I think daily briefings constitute a form of intellectual discipline. Starting on time is a form of discipline,” Bolton told reporters. “I failed today.”
“I took a list of when they (council members) came in,” Bolton said. “We started just before 10:15.”
Essentially, the UN diplomats gave Ambassador Bolton the Finger; Bolton himself will have a rough time trying to get them to change their ways. They have many things to do as UN diplomats: park in no-parking zones; go to “gentlemen’s clubs” to pick up some escorts, try to create $7 trillion out of thin air, and of course, accept bribes to look the other way while Iran continues to build the Bomb. All on the Taxpayers’ dime...and not just the American Taxpayer, either!
