John Bolton quantified Obama’s negotiations with Iran, according to TheHill.com, as:
Bolton calls Iran deal ‘unprecedented’ surrender
by Mark Hensch
Former United Nations Ambassador John Bolton said Saturday that President Obama is negotiating “an unprecedented act of surrender” with Iran in discussions over its nuclear weapons program.
“This deal is fundamentally flawed,” Bolton said at the South Carolina National Security Action Summit in West Columbia, S.C. “There really is no deal I’d trust Iran with. It is a regime determined to have nuclear weapons and this deal will give it to them.”
Repeat:
“There really is no deal I’d trust Iran with. It is a regime determined to have nuclear weapons and this deal will give it to them.”
Tom Cotton was correct, Rudy Giuliani was correct, and I was correct.
Controversy erupted over an open letter Republicans sent Iran’s leadership Monday. It vowed Congress can void any deal it finds unsatisfying and was signed by 47 GOP senators.
And the forty-seven Congressmen are correct.
Bolton rebuked the president’s response as unjustified Saturday. He said the Senators were not traitors, but rather lawmakers who “stood up for the Constitution.”
“The president coddles the Iranian ayatollah and attacks his own countrymen and our closest allies over this deal,” Bolton said Saturday. “The danger we hope to avoid is now imminent. This is just one example of how the President doesn’t care about America’s national security.”
I completely concur. I wrote why I believe Mr Obama is willing to make such terrible concessions to Iran in my post “Obama: protecting Islam and Iran.” I said that “relations between Israel and Barack Hussein Obama have always been rocky. I believe this is because Mr Obama sympathizes with Muslims and disdains Jews. This is in consideration of his upbringing and his education, amongst other things.”
Bolton said Saturday that Obama’s eagerness for a deal would give Tehran a “free pass” for nuclear arms. He said American voters should thus make national security the central issue of 2016’s presidential elections.
There is no denying this statement whatsoever; it became true in 2008 and is equally true today:
“The gravest threat to our national security sits in the Oval Office,” Bolton said. “The next two years can’t pass swiftly enough. For God’s sake, let’s not make the same mistake in 2016.”
Mr Obama is one who makes US allies an enemy, and US enemies a friend.
