Most of us who are familiar with ex UN ambassador John Bolton, know that the media doesn't like him much. Why? Because he was a Bush appointee, for one...and also because he was so full of mistrust and always seemed to doubt what foreign leaders were saying....caring instead to look closely at what they were doing. And for this reason he has been sounding the alarm on Iranian nuclear ambitions...and lies....from the very begining.
When Obama was elected, all this global mistrust, finger pointing and name calling was supposed to come to an abrupt end. It was going to be a new era where peace, love and cooperation were the foundations on which a better planet were going to be built. John Bolton, and his ilk, would be found in the ash heaps of history....as their mistrust would be proven unacceptable in the Obama era.
With that as a backdrop, this headline from a few days ago is quite amazing; (cue the flying pigs!!)
John Bolton Was Right After All
When the Obama Administration proclaimed victory on October 1st by announcing that a break-through had been reached in Geneva and that Iran had committed to shipping 2,600 pounds of fuel to Russia, expert Iran watchers were appropriately cynical.
Bolton cautioned, yet again, that the Iranians had used some of the same diplomatic nuances they had been using for years to successfully buy more time to continue enriching uranium and fake cooperation with the international community.
Usually, the Europeans were the first to take the bait but this time the Obama Administration got hooked first. Bolton, however, was the first to stand up and call the Iranian pronouncement a sham - and he did it within hours of the announcement.
And this paragraph is especially damming of Obama by a CBS reporter;
Where is the Obama Administration's pressure on Iran to stop enriching uranium? Sadly, the Americans are getting hoodwinked by Iran and Europe is happy that they don't have to vote for more sanctions or enforce the ones that are in place now. While the President gives up our missile shield to Russia, relaxes financial restrictions on Cuba, allows North Korea to violate their signed agreements and breaks campaign promises on a Sudan no-fly zone, the world applauds the most popular American President in history.

As we have been saying....the world is growing more dangerous every single day as Obama displays all the weaknesses of the USA and The West....and clearly tells all of our enemies that we have no stomach (or money) to use our military to enforce anything.
