Sudan: "steps other than talking" must be taken says Bolton

And immediately the US ambassador to the UN started with the first step, and blocked a "briefing of the council on Darfur by UN chief Kofi Annan's special adviser for the prevention of genocide, Juan Mendez."

at the linked article

"Arguing that the council had already heard another Darfur report by another senior UN official and hinting that the world body's main decision-making body was wasting too much time talking, Bolton told reporters that the council should "consider steps other than talking."

IE he blocked the report cause it was more talking.

Not sure I agree with this approach, but its hardly the contradiction you imply.

Since when are you posting in the OT? It would be "Nuke Khartoum!"

LOTM, he may argue that way, but obviously others disagreed and felt another briefing was needed. I don't see how blocking it improves anything, or leads to the immediate action Bolton called for.
