In the post below, Dafydd Ab Hugh fisks the AP’s attempt to TANG John Bolton. It’s a scuzzy last-minute article full of conjecture and innuendo. The AP’s, that is. Daf’s is great.

Allow me to pile on: let’s assume everything in the AP article is true. If so, it suggests that John Bolton
A: takes no guff when dealing with vital WMD issues;
B. successfully removed an administrator whom he (or his superiors) felt was incompetent and/or detrimental to the interests of the United States; and
C. masterfully exploited the rules of the OPCW to implement his policy.

It’s a smoking gun all right: Just like with the PSI, Bolton gets the job done. No wonder Kofi & co. are scared.
