BBC NEWS: Bolton unlikely to get confirmed

BBC NEWS

"[T]he senators who opposed Mr Bolton last time, including one Republican, are refusing to change their minds. 'I see no point in considering Mr Bolton's nomination again,' said Sen. Joseph Biden, Foreign Relations Committee.

Lincoln Chafee, who was defeated by his Democrat rival in Rhode Island this week, said it would be illogical to change his stance at the last minute. 'The American people have spoken out against the president's agenda on a number of fronts, and presumably one of those fronts is on foreign policy,' Mr Chafee said."
