There is word that some in Congress are advocating Jim Leach (R - IA) to replace John Bolton and be confirmed as the next U.S. ambassador to the U.N. If so, Front Page Magazine has some information we all should be aware of. Ben Johnson has a critical evaluation of Jim Leach and what he would bring to the position. Here's an excerpt...

Jim Leach has been a vocal advocate of retreat, appeasement, disarmament, and increasing the power and authority of the United Nations. He supports immediate troop withdrawals from Iraq, "carrots" for Iran, "commercial ties" with North Korea, a global test on the exercise of American military power, and submitting to the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court.
