Bush's foreign policy in free fall, says Bolton | ||
2007-12-16 | ||
US President George W. Bush's foreign policy is in free fall and puts the nation's security at risk, former ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton told a German magazine.
Mr Bolton said Dr Rice's was the dominant voice on foreign policy and that she was a channel for the views of liberal career bureaucrats in the foreign ministry. “(Mr Bush) does not supervise her enough. That is a mistake,” he was quoted as saying, adding that a moderate foreign policy was a threat to US security. “North Korea will, for example, now keep its nuclear weapons. And the Iranians have got a signal from our own intelligence services that they can do whatever they want. “I am not as confident as the intelligence services that Iran has stopped its nuclear weapons program.”

#5 I have to disgree with your comments, tipper. Condi's organized annapolis and promised hundreds of millions to the palestinian "government" without calling for accountability or an honest effort on the part of the recipients to keep a promise that they made. Israel has delivered on its promises a good deal of the time, and is castigated when it stops BECAUSE THE PALEOS NEVER KEPT THEIR SIDE OF THE BARGAIN. Mr. Bolton was WASTED on the UN: he should have had Condi's job. The republican candidate who promises to nominate, and fight for, Bolton as Secretary of State will have my vote. Yes, even Giulani or McCain, queasy pro-life position they may have. Normally, I'm a single-issue candidate (pro-life), but that fight will be lost if we lose the War On Terror. |

#2 What happened to Bush? Between the North American Union and his backing off of a strong foreign policy stance, you have to wonder. |

#1 I don't know if foreign policy is that bad, but I do believe Bush does need to get more involved with his lieutenants action items. |
