[QUOTE="Frenchise, post: 197793, member: 1007"] Pickering was appointed as Ambassador to the UN by HW Bush, he'd been Ambassador to various countries since 1974. He's probably the most respected member of the US civil service. He was Ambassador to Russia under Clinton. What are your issues with Mike Mullen? What is your issue with Bertini? She started in the federal government under Reagan and continued with Bush. She went on to direct the World Food Program in 1992, and was reappointed under Clinton. What's wrong with her? Ham testified.
