President Bush (news - web sites) on Monday nominated United Nations (news - web sites) critic John Bolton to be the new U.S. ambassador to the world body.
"The president and I have asked John to do this work because he knows how to get things done. He is a tough-minded diplomat," Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice (
