The Bullying Dog
“On several occasions, America’s closest ally in the war on terror, Britain, was irked by what U.S. and British sources say were efforts by Bolton to undermine promising diplomatic openings. Perhaps the most dramatic instance took place early in the U.S.-British talks in 2003 to force Libya to surrender its nuclear program, NEWSWEEK has learned. The Libya deal succeeded only after British officials “at the highest level” persuaded the White House to keep Bolton off the negotiating team.” - Newsweek
The story followed the principal US negotiators on North Korea coming forward to say Bolton was a dangerous disaster on North Korea.
Being tough and aggressive is certainly not a problem if circumstances warrant but being a bully is a always problem even at the right time and at the right place. And this is exactly what Mr Bolton is seen - a bullying dog.
