New York- John Bolton, the White House's pugnacious emissary to the United Nations, stepped out of UN headquarters Friday following a last meeting with the UN Security Council. Bolton's term as US ambassador to the world organization began when US Congress recessed a year ago and ended the same way - without fanfare or glory for the high-profile position as the voice of the US to the assembled nations of the world.

US President George W Bush appointed Bolton when Congress recessed in 2005 because of strong opposition from Democrats, and failed to renew the nomination a year later after Democrats took control of the Senate, killing all prospects that Bolton could received a formal appointment. >>>cont
