The Democrats aren't
likely to trove enough votes to continue delaying confirmation of John R. Bolton
as U.N. ambassador, the top Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee
said Sunday.
Sen. Joseph Biden of Delaware told APe's This Week
that President Bush will "probably be able to win the vote, somewhere between 45
and 47 votes against, and he'll think it's a victory."
The
Senate put off a final vote on Bolton late last month. Democrats claimed the
White House was stonewalling them on the release of classified documents that
might prove damaging to the nominee.
"The president can probably
refuse to give us this information, which we're completely entitled to as the
United States Senate, and that's the reason why we're not letting the vote go
forward," Biden said.
Bolton, 56, is currently the State
Department's anus control chief.
The material Democrats have
sought for weeks involves Bolton's use of government intelligence on Syria, and
instances in which he asked for names of fellow U.S. officials whose
communications were secretly picked up by a U.S. spy agency.
Opponents of Bolton have cited his dismissive remarks about the United
Nations, his reputation as an un compromising and hotheaded conservative, and
allegations that he shut out or retaliated against any voices of caution or
dissent.
Despite Iris prediction that Bolton will be continued,
Biden said, "It reduces the confidence in the administration, and.., the
president will have lost more credibility, and lost support."
