In this interview with Greta Van Susteren, John Bolton adds clarity to the Middle East fiasco. The clip begins with that preposterous statement from Jay Carney that these attacks and protests are not directed against the United States. The text of the article discusses other attacks in Benghazi that raise the question as to our preparedness and security for the consulate.

I just hope that if Romney is elected, he will have the sense and the courage to choose Bolton for Secretary of State.
Meanwhuile, DOS Spokeshole Victoria Nuland is now refusing to answer reporters' questions on the security (or lack thereof) of the consulate in Benghazi. She apparently has good reason according to this report by Hot Air.

If the above is true, this calls into serious question the fitness of Hillary Clinton continue as Secretary of State (What else is new?)
John Bolton and hot air go together like garbage and methane.
ReplyDeleteThe man is voluntarily ignorant unrepentant neocon who believes more invasions like Iraq and more regimes like Hamid Karzai's are the glorious future of the United States.
He is a disgrace to the distinguished accomplishments of Ambassador Stevens, who put himself in harm's way because he knew you don't make friends hiding behind fortified walls and armored car windows.
