Republican Senator Chuck Hagel has some concerns about George W. Bush's pick for UN Ambassador. He says, 'I have been troubled with more and more allegations, revelations, coming out about his style, his method of operation.' John Bolton, of course, is a very different man than Chuck Hagel. In theory, both are members of the Republican Party. The similarities stop there. Hagel served in Vietnam, and was the recipient of two Purple Hearts for sustaining injury in combat. Bolton, like most members of the current administration, has never worn a military uniform. ... There are a variety of reports now circulating that Bolton has abused subordinates that failed to adhere to his desired party line.
