Bolton Says Obama Has "Undercut Creativity at CIA"; "Near Religious Faith in Negotiations" - Video
Freedom's Lighthouse ^ | July 25, 2009 | BrianinMO

Posted on 07/25/2009 7:36:16 PM PDT by Federalist Patriot

Here is video of former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton criticizing President Obama's Administration for leaking information on a highly classified CIA program to identify and kill top Al-Qaeda operatives. Bolton says the revealing of the program by CIA Director Leon Panetta will depress morale at the Agency because it undercuts creativity in the future. He also said it tells Al-Qaeda leaders the CIA is not going to seek to use lethal force against them.

Bolton also slammed Obama's handling of Iran's drive to obtain nuclear weapons. Bolton thinks Obama believes he can find a way to negotiate Iran out of pursuing nuclear weapons, saying Obama has a "near religious faith in negotiations." Bolton says there is "zero chance" negotiations will succeed, and that every day that goes by just helps Iran get closer to achieving their goals. . . . . (Watch Video)

Maybe Obama thinks the CIA “acted stupidly”...

“Is Obama a Threat to the Intelligence Community”...

Zero is a threat to the whole country! Can’t they see what he’s doing...making us vulnerable every time he open his effing mouth!

Bolton is right — Obama is dangerous in so many ways.

“James David Manning”

Fire breather, that preacher? He’s been opposed, shall we say, to 0bama for a long time. Out of a Harlem church.

>"Near Religious Faith in Negotiations"

There is a certain
libertarian background
to this attitude

and I can't regard
it as an out-right bad thing.
Talk can settle things.

Remember Heinlein's
"Star Beast"? The smart bureaucrat
beat the Hroshii:

---------------------------------------------------

"I never broke off a negotiation
in my life," Mr. Kiku answered sourly.
"If you can't out-argue the other fellow,
sometimes you can out-live them.
"

The Star Beast, Robert Heinlein

I’ve watched quite a few of his on YouTube, but not for a while here. Love his stuff, but I like drinkingwithbob.com’s rants more, as I can laugh (and not throw things), although I’m waiting for them both to get summoned to the WH. Or worse.

I’ll check him out again.

I must say on Israel, Japan, the UK and SKoria, India & Colombia, it’s about time people realize it’s every man for himself. Poland and Georgia are SOL.

I want this BOLTON to run for US SENATE! (In a safe state).

We REALLY need this guy in D.C. and as a major Repulican force and spokesperson against this evil in the White House. (I wont even say "stupidity" at this point; it is much worse than this). This is an absolute nightmare.
