John Bolton smells a rat in Turtle Bay. And that's good enough for me.
Top UN election official vows to fight dismissal, sexual harassment charges
Monday, before the dismissal was officially announced, US ambassador to the UN John Bolton questioned the timing of Annan's decision on the Perelli case, less than two weeks before Iraq's legislative polls.
"I think the role of the United Nations in elections is something that we have emphasized, and when the head of the office responsible for the UN's role in the elections is being subjected to press reports about her removal has to lead you to ask the question: What effect it will have on the ground in Iraq," Bolton said.
"So if you are going to make a decision, make it at a time when it doesn't disrupt your programs, why make the decision now?" the US envoy said, noting that she had been under investigation for a year.
