Former US envoy critical of own moustache

John Bolton, former US ambassador to the United Nations, today criticised his own moustache over the Iran hostages crisis. The moustache's weakness in standing up to Iran in the stand-off handed a propaganda victory to Tehran, he said yesterday. "I was gravely disappointed that my facial hair decided to resolve this through diplomatic pussyfooting instead of bombing the hell out of Iran as I suggested," he said.
