WASHINGTON, June
20 /U.S. Newswire/
-- The ongoing effort
by John Bolton's Senate
detractors to hold
up his confirmation
as UN ambassador is
especially offensive
to the Jewish community,
the Jewish Institute
for National Security
Affairs declared today.
"It was Bolton's
determined leadership
and diplomatic mastery
that, in 1991, caused
the United Nations
to finally revoke
one of its most outrageous
resolutions - equating
Zionism with racism,"
said JINSA executive
director Tom Neumann.
"It was a truly Herculean
task, but Bolton succeeded
where many predecessors
had failed because
he made the effort
and took the time
to engage the UN members
one by one.
"The Jewish community
will always be grateful,"
Neumann noted. "We
should remind our
elected representatives
of that."
Neumann described
the Senate delay as
"a blatantly orchestrated
effort to destroy
a dedicated, highly
qualified public servant.
Bolton's career is
an open book, his
achievements a matter
of record. His style
is a mix of diplomacy
and resoluteness,
with a strong moral
sense of right and
wrong. There is no
valid reason that
he should not have
been confirmed weeks
ago.
"John Bolton at the
UN would continue
the proud, standup
tradition established
by our two foremost
past UN ambassadors,
the late Daniel Patrick
Moynihan and Jeane
Kirkpatrick. The latter
has warmly endorsed
Bolton for the post,
as have former Secretary
of State Lawrence
Eagleburger, Senator
John McCain, and many
others who clearly
understand the need
for UN reform."
The Jewish Institute
for National Security
Affairs is an independent,
non-partisan educational
organization established
in 1976 to educate
the public on national
and international
security issues, including
the importance of
an effective U.S.
defense capability
and the key role of
strategic allies to
promote democratic
values in the Middle
East.
