But he could no doubt find a somebody who would take exactly the same course of action and be confirmed easily. That's why I say it's more of a personal issue with Bush not wanting to lose to congress than Bolton being irreplaceable.
Dude, wake up! This country is at war and the outcome is not a given. Yet, the Dems see Bush as more of a threat than our enemies!
The Dems in the Senate wouldn't even allow a vote on Bolton. Now, if the Dems want to try to prove Bolton was unacceptable to the Senate, then they can allow an up or down vote on Bolton as soon as the August recess is over.
George Bush is as fault for not having a vote. It was this easy, provide the documens you get the vote. Bush for some reason (probably due to the damaging stuff that was in those documents) chose the path of ultimate secrecy yet again & refused to release relevant documents regarding his appointment, so their was no vote. The fault of having no vote lies in the hand of Bush. & the reason he probably didn't release the documents is probably that stuff in those documents were damaging and could have caused some Republicans who were teetering to be against the nomination.
