He was so bad that Bush couldn't get him confirmed by a Republican Senate (if I remember correctly). He got him to be UN Ambassador temporarily through a Recess Appointment (you remember, what that Republicans got SCOTUS to rule illegal- for Obama)

Public land and resources are already up for sale to friends and donors. Time for some war mongering from one of the nation's most anti-diplomatic assholes...to take what is left by destroying everything good the U.S. ever did.

This being one of the guys who duped the US into war based on false/sexed-up intelligence.

He withheld information from both Powell and Rice, believes Palestine is not a real state, lied to the Senate about past questioning of him by the State Department, was a recess appointment.

He alleged that Sec of State Clinton faked a concussion, he spoke in favor of an Iranian splinter group that has been on the U.S. State Department list of Foreign Terrorist Organizations, and, like Trump, has a terrible temper.

And once cut himself on accident. It was horrible.

He'll have us in 3 wars simultaneously :
North Korea, Iran, Syria.
And maybe he'll nuke the Palestinians as a warmup.
