Bolton: Children Should Not Be ‘In Charge of Foreign Policy’
CNS News ^ | 6-5-14 | Patrick Goodenough

CNSNews.com) – “Children” should not be in charge of foreign policy, former U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. John Bolton said Thursday, responding to a State Department spokeswoman’s comments earlier this week about claims by some former squad members that Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl had deserted.

“I think children are wonderful, but I don’t think they should be in charge of foreign policy,” Bolton told Fox Business’ Stuart Varney.

“That’s very strong stuff,” said Varney. “Not as strong as I might say off-camera,” Bolton replied.

He said the department’s spokespeople under Secretary of State John Kerry “have been more partisan than any in my experience since my first involvement in government in the Reagan administration.”

“I’m saying we don’t know the fact pattern yet here.”

Is there some school that teaches these people to talk this way?

**“Children” should not be in charge of foreign policy...**

Very true. But what do we do about the “children” that vote for these children?

It’s over for America... the deck is stacked.

Logic and academic rigor are things of the past.

Now, it is all about appearances and catch phrases.

“MS. HARF: That happened five years ago.”

She forgot to add “Dude”.

Aye, therein lies the rub. We could survive a couple of terms of children in charge of foreign policy, but not a majority of voting children.

The imbecile Psaki at the all-girl State Dept--was openly
mocked by reporters for her dumbness--airhead couldn't
name a single foreign policy success.

Americans were aghast---finding out Obama gave ntl security clearance to his van driver.

Tommy Vietor, Obamba's van driver, got national
security clearance, and attended WH Situation Room
crisis meetings; Dude Tommy is now working for Hillary.

Dude's got his name on Hillary's list for Cabinet Secy.

I have a relative with that mumbo jumbo disease. I believe he got it reading memos from his (unmitigated idiot) superiors at the IRS. I gather there is a kind of “promotion/bonus grease” applied when subordinates liberally adopt their bosses’ phraseology.
