Bolton: Obama's Iran Policy 'Naive'

Former US ambassador to the United Nations on Wednesday blasted President Barack Obama's sanctions-driven approach to curtailing Iran's nuclear ambitions in an op-ed he wrote for USA Today.

“A nuclear armed Iran will be his most lasting legacy,” Bolton – a long-established proponent of a pre-emptive strike on Iran’s nuclear program – wrote of Obama.

"Sanctions have long been touted as the answer, but they are not," Bolton explained. "Sadly, we have been behind the curve for years, and recent Obama administration claims about slowing Tehran down are little more than re-election propaganda."

Noting that Iran's alliances with China, Cuba, Russia, Venezuela and others are sufficient to undermine sanctions, Bolton called Obama's stance 'naive' and said that Tehran does not "buy our theories of deterrence."

"The most likely outcome is stark: The world's central banker of terrorism will very soon become a nuclear weapons state," Bolton predicted.

No, Bolton is naive, because he thinks Obama is merely naive.

Yep. O’Bastard isn’t naive, he’s evil. He’s aligned with Iran and all his fellow Arabs from the same tribe.

It’s proper islamic policy from the White House direct from a muslim who knows whats best for HIS America.

You have to remember, “this AIN’T America no more”, now that we have a “ruler”.

I wished Bolton had not backed Romney.
I would like the conservative voices to support a real conservative candidate.

Bolton charges that Obama has purposely undermined Israel by leaking information about Israel’s intention to use Azerbaijan airbases in their attack on Iran. Folks, this is sedition pure and simple. Here is the Newsmax article:

Obama owes his loyalty first and foremost to the United States of America, not Israel. If he is undermining us, it is not sedition per se, just bad judgment.
