Bolton: America needs stronger defense than what Obama has shown - Conservative News

Bolton: America needs stronger defense than what Obama has shown - Conservative News

I saw John Bolton interviewed on FoxNews last week, and his comments were enlightening to me.  When asked about the US policy toward the middle east and Islamic radicals, he gave four points we need to focus on.

1.  We need to protect and maintain our relationship with Israel.
2.  We need to maintain relationships with oil producing countries, because that oil does have significant impact on the global economy.
3.  We need to maintain global economic relationships to promote foreign trade with all countries.
4.  We need to search out and destroy terrorists.

These four points are reasons why America must remain active in the middle east.  These four points are in the interest of the US and always will be.  We need not apologize for these truths.

Is Anyone Concerned?

Not only were four Americans killed, including our ambassador to Lybia, but secure documents were stolen.  These documents apparently include names of people, Americans agents and Lybian informants, and secure locations where they operate. 

Now we learned that two days prior, our intelligence organization had intel on the events that occured on September 11, shared that information with the Obama administration, and they sat on it.  Link

The events of this week are complex and the timeline keeps changing based on new information coming public as news organziations begin to investigate.  It is also becoming clear that this adminsitration does not know what to do next, or how to proceed.

A Tough Day

Las Vegas Review-Journal News Video

So Mr. President, you think the death of a US Ambassador and three other Americans is a "tough day"?  On a day when an embassy in Cairo and a US Consolate were atackced by mobs on the anniversary of the terror attacks of September 11.2001, and deaths of four people serving our country at one of those locations, you describe it as a "tough day"?

Can you please explain why you attended this campaign event on September 12, 2012, when you did not attent your daily security briefing?  In fact, you have only attended about 40% of these daily breifings since you were sworn to protect and defend this country.

Note that this is supposed to be a nes organization, the Las Vegas Review-Journal, but this video looks and sounds more like a campaign ad than a news story.
