Self proclaimed "liberal Democrat" Alan Dershowitz supports Bolton:In the Washington Times, no less: (excerpts) On the basis of his performance, I have become a Bolton supporter. He speaks with moral clarity. He is extremely well prepared. He is extraordinarily articulate. He places the best face on American policy, particularly in the Middle East during this crucial time. [...]
Were he not to be confirmed as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations at this crucial juncture it would send a powerful message to the international community that Senate Democrats do not stand behind our policy in the Middle East. It would be seen as undercutting American policy toward Israel. Even if that were a misunderstanding, it would have a devastating impact on the world's perception of America's solidarity with Israel.

I was wondering about the timing of the delay in nthe confirmation...maybe Dersh suspects there may be doubts on the right...something to hope for?
The US policies towards Israel need a lot of undercutting, in my opinion. For the best of both countries!

Alan Dershowitz is an example of everything that is wrong with America's leadership class.
He is a smeghead and a moral cesspit.
oh, does that make me an anti-smegmite?
