US Bolton: Won’t Respond To Chavez’ ‘Comic Strip’ Approach
NEW YORK
U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton said Wednesday that Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez’s speech at the U.N. calling President George W. Bush “the devil” doesn’t deserve a response.
“We’re not going to address that kind of comic strip approach to international affairs,” Bolton said during a televised press conference.
Chavez, in a speech to the U.N. General Assembly, said, “The devil came here yesterday,” referring to Bush’s address Tuesday.
“He came here talking as if he were the owner of the world.”
The leftist leader, who has joined Iran in opposing U.S. influence, accused Washington of “domination, exploitation and pillage of peoples of the world.” Cable News Network reported a White House deputy spokesman saying the remarks by Chavez are “not worthy of comment.”
Wild Thing’s comment…..
Thank you John Bolton!! I really love how he doesn’t bother with the BS from Hugo wanna be important idiot.
Mr Bolton continues to impress me more and more, in a world of political dissappointments.
Bolton is 100% right, what refreshing change from the limp wristed ambassadors we have elsewhere.
Today made all this worth it, Chavez was out in NY insulting the people of this nation and has brought upon himself the attention of CITGO in the national press, especially Fox, his 50% of oil sales is through Citgo and his wholly owned refineries here, that has been exposed not through the bloggers but Fox. I just love it!!!
Me too Tom he really seems to be a take no prisoner kind of guy. Even if he only was a little that way it would be more then most of the leaders we have.
Jack haha it was great I agree.
