John Bolton Troubled By "Thoughts Rambling Inside The Presidential Brain" (Video)

"If these are the thoughts rambling around inside the presidential brain that's guiding our foreign policy, I'm very troubled by this. This is somebody who does not have a very basic grounding in not just contemporary history but history of the relationship between the United States and Europe over a long period of time."

Is it any coincidence that this is word for word exactly what newt was spewing, paid by your Australian Tabloid Demi-god?
You right wing morons are predictable as a baby crying or a poodle barking. All negative all the time, full of sound and fury signifiying nothing.
Your president, President Obama, is undoing the idiot, go it alone foreign policy legacy, from the Villiage Idiot you voted for, and his pack of Neocon Cowards, such as yourself, Cowards who will never admit their policies were the worst foreign policy blunders and murdered 5000 americans and 500,000 inocent Iraqis, who had nothing to do with 911, for a neocon oil tycoon lie.
You filthy cowards have destroyed the middle class, destroyed the working class inorder to economically redistribute all the wealth to the rich, and like the yellow bellied coward sycophants you all are, are now screaming socialist and joe the plumber Caribu barbie level "isms" at the elected officials cleaning up your casino capatilist mess.
Bunch of whiners and cowards. Conformist cowards incabable of thinking their way out of a mass conformity, cowards lockstepping the country off a cliff.

Well... Two, Occasions During Which The Europeans Also Fought For Their Own Liberation, Sorry About Spacing On That Part. But O-bomb-a, Obatty, Oboring, Oboob, O'blather What A Jerk / Loser / Moron / Idiot, Huh? And His Wife Is Ugly And Wears Crummy Clothes.

Leadership: Sixty-one years to the day after Truman signed the Marshall Plan rebuilding war-torn Europe, President Obama apologizes to French youth for U.S. arrogance. Our defense of freedom is no shame.
FTA
It's Europe that has things to learn from America, not vice versa.
Europe can learn that with an injection of U.S.-style market competition, French patients need not wait month-upon-month for heart bypass surgery. They can learn that Iran is a clear and present danger requiring force from a united free world, not talk.
While they're at it, they might also learn to express some gratitude for the $13 billion American taxpayers shelled out during the post-war years (over $100 billion in current dollars) to rebuild their countries — after the U.S. came to their rescue during the war itself, spilling the blood of hundreds of thousands to defeat Hitler.
The United States of America is the world's lone superpower — unless and until we choose to relinquish that responsibility.
The last thing our sometime friends and allies across the pond need is a U.S. president bemoaning America's role in the world and serving as an echo chamber to those in Europe who would like to see us weakened or irrelevant.-

NYT: This diplomacy dance with Iran isn’t really working out, is it?

They’ve got a crazy hunch that Iran’s just jerking us around to buy time. The obvious solution: More diplomacy.
After 30 years of mutual isolation, we fully support Mr. Obama’s constructive tone and efforts to engage the mullah-led government. But we wonder whether this incremental, seemingly ad hoc approach is best…-

Mr. Obama will soon have to decide whether to go for a potentially game-changing gesture — like offering to open an interests section or sending his secretary of state to Tehran. That could force Iran’s leaders to make a choice — and leave no doubt in Iranians’ or anyone else’s minds about what it is.
Reply
Defense Secretary Robert Gates has said that Iran is “not close” to having a nuclear weapon and that it could take one or more years. Israel predicts that Iran could have enough fuel for a weapon by the end of this year. Either way, the clock is ticking.
Not strong, resolute, inspiring leadership at a time when the world with it's problems needs it. -

Well, the NY Times has become a hot bed of zionist israel-firsters who promote extreme right-wing israeli propaganda - and were especially poisonous for the US in the lead up to the bushie zioncon war for oil and israel in iraq. Now they are adopting the racist Netanyahu line. Perhaps we should ask them to start telling us the truth about america.

Breaking the Taboo on Israel's Spying Efforts on the United States
Scratch a counterintelligence officer in the U.S. government and they'll tell you that Israel is not a friend to the United States.
This is because Israel runs one of the most aggressive and damaging espionage networks targeting the U.S.. The fact of Israeli penetration into the country is not a subject oft-discussed in the media or in the circles of governance, due to the extreme sensitivity of the U.S.-Israel relationship coupled with the burden of the Israel lobby, which punishes legislators who dare to criticize the Jewish state. The void where the facts should sit is filled instead with the hallucinations of conspiracy theory -- the kind in which, for example, agents of the Mossad, Israel’s top intelligence agency, engineer the 9/11 attacks, while 4,000 Israelis in the Twin Towers somehow all get word to escape before the planes hit. The effect, as disturbing as it is ironic, is that the less the truth is addressed, the more noxious the falsity that spreads.
Israel's spying on the U.S., however, is a matter of public record, and neither conspiracy nor theory is needed to present the evidence. When the FBI produces its annual report to Congress concerning "Foreign Economic Collection and Industrial Espionage," Israel and its intelligence services often feature prominently as a threat second only to China. In 2005 the FBI noted, for example, that Israel maintains "an active program to gather proprietary information within the United States." A key Israeli method, said the FBI report, is computer intrusion. In 1996, the Defense Intelligence Service, a branch of the Pentagon, issued a warning that "the collection of scientific intelligence in the United States [is] the third highest priority of Israeli Intelligence after information on its Arab neighbors and information on secret U.S. policies or decisions relating to Israel." In 1979, the Central Intelligence Agency produced a scathing survey of Israeli intelligence activities that targeted the U.S. government....
.... Fast-forward a quarter century, and the vow has proven empty. In 2004, the authoritative Jane's Intelligence Group noted that Israel's intelligence organizations "have been spying on the U.S. and running clandestine operations since Israel was established." The former deputy director of counterintelligence at FBI, Harry B. Brandon, last year told Congressional Quarterly magazine that "the Israelis are interested in commercial as much as military secrets..

There seems to be little focus on the goals the Obama administration had before going to the G20

1. Convince G20 countries to spend more money to stimulate their economies
2. Convince western European countries to send more troops to Afghanistan
Did he accomplish either - NO
Europeans Offer Few New Troops for Afghanistan
With protesters raging outside, NATO leaders on Saturday gave a tepid troop commitment to President Obama’s escalating campaign in Afghanistan, mostly committing soldiers only to a temporary security duty.
For a NATO summit meeting marking the 60th anniversary of the alliance and intended to be without drama, the event has been fractious both inside the hall and outside it.
Despite a glowing reception and widespread praise for Mr. Obama’s style and aims, his calls for a more lasting European troop increase for Afghanistan were politely brushed aside, as they had been in negotiations leading up to the meeting.
As expected, European allies agreed to provide up to 5,000 new troops for Afghanistan, the White House said Saturday. But 3,000 of them are to be deployed only temporarily to provide security for the August elections in Afghanistan.
A further 1,400 to 2,000 soldiers will be sent to form embedded training teams for the Afghan Army and the police.
Mr. Obama is raising the number of American troops this year to about 68,000 from the current 38,000, which will significantly Americanize the war.

Actually, if you did some real research instead of relying on partisan lies from Fox, you would realize that you have been lied to. That is not what Obama said. Fox omitted the rest of the speech and took one line out of context to rattle the cages of low minded morons.

This is again just more right wing tripe. The last thing we need to be doing is running around rubbing something that we did 60 years ago in everybody's face. How often do you hear the French reminding us that they helped us during the Revolutionary war?

"something that we did 60 years ago"
Reply
We did it 90 years ago, 60 years ago... and we are still doing it.
But, for our Marshall Plan leading to the European Union, NATO, and U.S. troops still stationed in Europe, we'd still be expending the lives of tens and/or hundreds of thousands of U.S. troops to sort out Europe's millenium-old fratricidal urges.
We happen to be doing the same thing in Iraq... and it will also likely take decades.
Beware of the goat intestine you're chewing on there, chef.

Leadership and Obama are an oxymoron. He went, he whined and apologized everywhere to everyone but gained none of the things he supposedly wanted from the G20 nations prior to his trip. It appears that Obama is the rock star of world leaders but when it comes to governing and decision making the other 19 nations of the G20 said, "thanks but no thanks."

I think Obamas first european tour as president was somewhat of a roller coaster.It cannot be called a successful trip nor a catastrophy. He himself and wife are personally well liked through out europe. His financial agenda is not. Now this is for several reasons.
Reply
1. Europeans are very much anti war after having 2 world wars fought on their soil. Also there is a much bigger security problem with Islamic terrorist in Europe than in the US. Their are to many boarders. They do not have the luxary of having an ocean on both sides.
2. With the Euro and the european bank, they have decided to take a much more conservative root to solving their problems. Personally I have to agree with them. When you have money problems its time to save and not spend. Through out Europe and especially Germany, who is the biggest export nation, they are having many of the problems we are having in the US. One good example is OPEL who is very much dependent on GM. -

Through a boarded-up window comes the sounds of a deep voice speaking over laughter and applause. A huge party is going on next door.
Pc25: "Pitiful, weak, uninspiring, misguided, dangerous, brown-nosey, self-loathing,- " he snarls and smashes his fist into the wall.
Hhusk sneers: "They never make a comment without mongering hate."
RedRiver sighs: "He has embarrassed himself, degraded the office of the Presidency and probably hacked off half of America..."
Outside the window the cheers grow louder; a band begins playing 'Stars and Stripes Forever'.
Pc25 mutters "He has insulted the sacrifices of those Americans who sacrifices their lives in the defense of freedom for Europe. He has - " - but the roaring applause of a nation drowns out the rest of his words.
They sit there chewing their rage.
Their only light coming from a guttering candle.
After awhile it goes out, and they sit in the dark.
Outside in America, the party goes on. -

I think that this President has a lot to learn and he needs to learn it quick! From protocol (we don't kneel or bow to other world leaders) to NOT apologizing for the United States of America. He is not campaigning...Does he not realize he's won? He also is dire need of a NON teleprompted speech in which he doesn't "uh" me to death, while still trying to get out his very mixed messages.

I have bent over backwards to be fair to him, but when I see the liberal loons "gushing" over the man to the point of making us all sick, I have to say that I am NOT impressed.
From the gifts to the horrid speaches, I'd say he has soooo much to learn.
