Clinton may well have but does this make it right? It is widely accepted the majority of the senate doesn't want Bolton to represent the US so shouldn't it be debated. Isn't that the whole point of a democracy?

Anyway the world will watch Bolton with much interest.

NEWS ANALYSIS: HORRENDOUS WEEK SPURS EFFORTS TO SHIFT SPOTLIGHT

BEDEVILED BY TURMOIL, BUSH TRIES TO REASSURE
Nine troubled months after taking the oath of office and in the wake of the indictment of a senior administration official, President Bush appears to see little need for a wholesale housecleaning and will try to give his second term a fresh start by naming a new nominee to the Supreme Court and intensifying his drive to cut government spending, White House officials and other Republicans said.
