U.S. vetoes U.N. resolution on Mideast

John Bolton, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, said that "in light of the fluid events on the ground," the United States believed the Qatar-sponsored resolution was untimely and out of date, and would have helped inflame passions in the Middle East.

Bush also said Syrian President Bashar al-Assad "needs to show some leadership toward peace"

WHAT IS GOING ON ... This goes against all that USA stands for ... The land of the free the world peace keeper... How can this country claim that it wants to end world conflicts and put an end to terrorism if it vetoes a cease-fire.... A ceasefire is always good no matter who is at war a ceasefire is always good. The veto contradicts the superpower diplomacy that George Bush has undertaken onto fight terrorism. How does the united states what Allies if all it makes are enemies... ALL the other countries in the security council wanted a cease fire except USA .... u know i thiink its killing the us that the idea came from an arabic country.... what does he mean "outdated" nothing is outdated in resolving a conflict and saving lives, and then George bush says that Bashar AL ASSAD has to show leadership towards peace ... well where is ur leadership mr president... Let me say one thing all that US cares for is one think its economy and the country in control of the US's economy.... WALLAH LAW MA ABE VISA MINHOUM CHAN SAWAIT MU'6AHARA JIDAM IL SAFARA
