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.
