Darth Bolton: Champ weakest potus since Buchanan, Kerry should resign.
[Daily Caller] On Saturday on the Fox News Channel, former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton harshly criticized President Champ's handling of the United States involvement in Syria, calling him the weakest president since James Buchanan, Abraham Lincolns predecessor.This is absolutely stunning, Bolton said. Ive been trying to fill in the blank of the following sentence: Champ is the weakest president since And I have to say, the best I can come up with is James Buchanan who watched the country dissolve into the Civil War. "Stunning" to some perhaps. Were watching the collapse of American influence in the Middle East and really more broadly. I'm not at all certain we've ever had any real influence in the Middle East. And I say that as somebody who has been opposed to use of force in Syria. I have to ask if your secretary of state, John Kerry, given the two very strong statements that he has made on this subject since the first indication of the chemical weapons used 10 days ago took place: Are you now thinking of resigning as a matter of principle, having laid out the case, whether you agree or disagree with Kerry, that the United States has to use force here, to see the president take this step. A self admitted failure, Kerry trumps diplomacy with war. Posted by: Besoeker 2013-09-03 |
