Washington, March 24. The U.S. Vice-President, Dick Cheney, has defended some of the recent appointments in the Bush second term saying the elevation of loyalists to diplomatic posts would only strengthen American position aimed at forcing changes, for instance, at world bodies such as the United Nations. In the recent past, the U.S. President, George W. Bush, has attracted criticism on his choice of personnel at crucial positions. The two appointments that have attracted attention are that of John Bolton as American Ambassador to the U.N.; and that of Pentagon number two, Paul Wolfowitz, to head the World Bank.
