| "Radical Islam is a severe threat against America that is growing and the White House doesn’t seem to recognize or understand it because it doesn’t fit with their narrative of the Arab Spring. It is for either ideological reasons or for political reasons but either way the White House doesn’t appear to understand the dangers”, former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton told me recently. Bolton is also a foreign policy adviser to the Romney campaign. “I’m real concerned because Muslims worldwide understand the dangers of radicalism more than the White House does”, Bolton said.

Comments: He would make an excellent Secretary of State! What an extreme difference that would be from this weak, corrupt regime.

I'd be happy to see this as long as he scrubs the place clean.
There are likely still some senior staffers left over from the Clinton Administration that need to go, to say nothing of this recent regime.

From Amato's keyboard to God's ears! Bolton would be a stellar Secretary of State. And the sound of liberal heads exploding would be the sweetest icing on the cake.
Can you imagine the confirmation hearings?

Do not forget that Bolton's nomination to the UN ambassador position was blocked by democrats in the senate,and they pulled out all the stops in the confirmation hearing. They even offered a woman as witness who, when working with bolton in the private sector, said he raised his voice to her. So President Bush made an interim appointment for Bolton, which upon expiration, caused him to leave the UN position.

I've been wishing and praying for Bolton to be named SOS for years. Even instead of Condi Rice. We have to get the women out of that position. The muslim world does not respect women and to have such highly placed female representatives of the US gov't is merely a PC move.

If you think the invasions and occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan were good ideas, and were beneficial to the interests of the United States (and worth the enormous costs) I will concede that one of us should be wearing a tin foil hat, so to speak. And yes, "neocon" is a very pejorative term. Remember that the neocons sidled up to Clinton before they found the ultimate suckers (or knaves) in the Bush family.

You seem to forget that Afghanistan was a safe haven for Al-Qaida in 2011.
You seem to forget that Iraq was paying $10K to families of Arab suicide bombers that were killing Jews in 2011.
You seem to forget that Iraq was a prolific user of chemical and biological weapons and was more than capable of giving them away to the badest of guys in 2011.

So marvelously said Dennis Miller on Fox New´s the O´Reilly Factor in a discussion about the Internal Revenue Service scandal Wednesday (video follows with transcript and absolutely no need for additional commentary): DENNIS MILLER: Nobody in the press is going to bear in on this. Let´s face facts: the American media is in an abusive relationship with Obama. They don´t quite know what to do. If you take the New York Times, you could refer to it as "Fifty Shades of Grey Lady."

On Wednesday, CNN anchor Jake Tapper dug into the controversial way in which members of President Barack Obama’s administration have apparently tried to intimidate whistleblowers in the government and the journalists that would investigate their stories. Tapper said that some, including the New York Times editorial board, have described the administration’s actions as “threatening fundamental freedoms of the press.” He warned Obama’s supporters to remember the precedent his administration is setting when a Republican next occupies the Oval Office. Tapper noted that the scandal surrounding the subpoenaing of Fox News reporter James Rosen’s personal telephone and email

The gesture of transparency by U.S. District Judge Royce C.

In some other universe this would be shocking. In this universe it’s par for the course, and I don’t mean the golf course, but the guy who makes the golf course his second home. The US Attorney for the District of Columbia, Ronald C. Machen – the man responsible for the aggressive surveillance and phone record scrutiny at Fox News – is also a big donor to the Obama Campaigns. At the time of his appointment, the Washington Post wrote a profile on Machen including this tidbit: Over the years, he has donated $4,350 to Obama’s campaigns.

The dam protecting the IRS scandal began to crack today when Lois Lerner, the IRS official who announced, and apologized for, the improper singling out of conservative-leaning organizations by IRS employees under her command, announced through her criminal defense lawyer that she will not testify as scheduled tomorrow before the House Oversight Committee. Rather, she will assert her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. This marks an enormous milestone in the IRS investigation. It can now be taken as more or less established that crimes were committed by Obama administration employees. Lerner’s lawyer tried to minimize the significance

WASHINGTON – A top IRS official in the division that reviews nonprofit groups will invoke the Fifth Amendment and refuse to answer questions before a House committee investigating the agency’s improper screening of conservative nonprofit groups. Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, won’t answer questions about what she knew about the improper screening – or why she didn’t reveal it to Congress, according to a letter from her defense lawyer, William W. Taylor 3rd. Lerner was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight committee Wednesday.

House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa said embattled IRS official Lois Lerner waived her Fifth Amendment rights and will be hauled back to appear before his panel again. The California Republican said Lerner’s Fifth Amendment right to avoid self-incrimination was voided when she gave an opening statement this morning denying any wrongdoing and professing pride in her government service. “When I asked her her questions from the very beginning, I did so so she could assert her rights prior to any statement,” Issa told POLITICO. “She chose not to do so — so she waived.”

The former Democratic presidential candidate also said that there were “no serious questions being asked about Benghazi” and brushed it off as an effort by Republicans to score political points.

There’s really no reason for the press to suggest that the recent slew of scandals involving the Obama administration — Benghazi, the AP phone-record seizure, the snooping in James Rosen’s e-mail, the IRS’s targeting of conservative groups, and so on — are a confusing jumble. There is a very clear thread running through all of the administration’s actions: The U.S. deputy chief of mission in Libya, Gregory Hicks, says that he was told not to speak to a member of Congress about Benghazi without a State Department lawyer present, that he received a phone call from Hillary Clinton’s
