John Bolton hat ja gerade mal wieder im Sicherheitrat eine
Verurteilung Israels abgebogen. Jetzt setzen sich seine jüdischen
Freunde dafür ein, dass er endlich auf seinem Posten bestätigt wird.
Battle Over Bolton Could Be Decided by Jewish Support
(CNSNews.com) - Increased support from the Jewish community might
make the difference between last year's Senate decision not to
confirm John Bolton as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations and this
year's debate on the nomination, the head of a Jewish organization
told Cybercast News Service.
"I believe almost every Republican will be supporting" Bolton in the
Senate, and "you're going to have a surprising number of Democrats
supporting him because of his record" of "courage, intelligence and
eloquence," said Morton Klein, president of the Zionist Organization
of America (ZOA).
...
Klein told Cybercast News Service that such support might come from
states where the status of Israel is a significant issue, including
New York, where "important friends" of Chuck Schumer and Hillary
Clinton told him the senators are "seriously reconsidering" their
position on Bolton.
"If they came out against him, I would be somewhat surprised," Klein
said of Schumer and Clinton, who were outspoken in their opposition
to Bolton last year but have remained silent on the nomination so far
this year. "I think there's a reasonable chance they might support
him this time around."
...
Should Bolton's nomination fail in the Senate again and President
Bush use another recess appointment to keep Bolton on the job,
federal law would prohibit any federal funding to be used to pay the
ambassador.

Eine andere Möglichkeit wäre natürlich, dass Israel sein Gehalt
direkt bezahlt, da er ja in erster Linie die Politik Israels
vertritt.
