    ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER SMIRK
    By Peter Fredson
    August 4, 2005
    He got his way. As usual. The petulant, arrogant, disaster of a President did an end-run around the advice of both friends and enemies. He appointed John Bolton to be U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Assembly.

    Whatever plans Dick Cheney and his neo-conservatives may have had to conjure up a nuclear threat from Iran as "justification" for military action have been sharply undercut by some timely leaks to the Washington Post. In a redux of President George W. Bush’s spin on the "grave and growing" danger from Iraq, Cheney protégé and newly appointed U.N. Ambassador John Bolton is on record warning that Iranian "deception" must not be allowed to continue much longer: "It will be too late. Iran will (…)
