Obama Screwed Up Bush's Work in Iraq, John Bolton said
Bush’s former ambassador to the UN, John Bolton, on how Obama screwed up his predecessor’s handiwork in Iraq, the coming regional arms conflict—and what the president should say in his speech tonight about his decision to withdraw American troops.
President Obama has an opportunity in Tuesday’s Oval Office address on Iraq to show that he has finally learned something about American security in the hard world of international geostrategy. Of course, if he did, it would mean abandoning much of what he advocated during his election campaign, reversing many of his most-prized policies since his inauguration, disappointing his leftist political base, and causing acute heartburn on Norway’s Nobel Peace Prize Committee. I’m not holding my breath. But if the president was blessed with a revelation during his summer vacation, perhaps he now understands what we have at stake in Iraq going forward.

5. This ass shouldn't even be mentioned using the title "Ambassador"
Edited on Tue Aug-31-10 12:41 PM by Gman
since he couldn't even get confirmed. Not even Republican Senators would vote for him. And, that's the reason why what he says now has no relevance and is nothing more than something to publish on a page and put advertising on the page to make money. It's not even worth the calories to move the finger and click to read anything he says.
