From Steve Clemons "The Washington Note"

The Reasons to Oppose Bolton - as laid out by Joe Biden

<snip>

1. The first reason is that Mr. Bolton repeatedly sought to remove intelligence analysts who disagreed with him. Mr. Bolton was not content to fight the normal policy battles. He had to crush people -- even if they were just doing their jobs.

2. The second reason to oppose Mr. Bolton is that he frequently sought to stretch the available intelligence -- to say things in speeches and testimony that the intelligence would not support.

3. The third reason to oppose Mr. Bolton is his abusive treatment of colleagues in the State Department, and his frequent lack of judgment in dealing with them.

4. The fourth reason to vote against Mr. Bolton is that he gave testimony to the Foreign Relations Committee that was misleading.
