Withdraw Bolton's Name (South Florida Sun-Sentinel)

President Bush should listen carefully to the voices of trepidation coming from lawmakers on his choice for United Nations representative.

The White House's pick for the U.N. job, John Bolton, is in trouble on Capitol Hill. The latest setback came Tuesday when three GOP members on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee agreed with Democrats and postponed forwarding the nomination to the Senate for a final vote.

The delay sends a strong signal that the Senate panel has deep misgivings about Bolton. Those doubts are justified, and the White House should withdraw the nomination. <snip>

4. Maybe you've been seeing owners vs. editors.

In a showdown, the owners call the shots, but they may use a light hand if they think the issue is non-essential to them.
