"As Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice meets with Mideast leaders to jumpstart the peace process, former U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. John Bolton called the attempt a waste of time.
Bolton, who also said it's time another body replace the United Nations, told the Sunday Times of London the Arab-Israeli conflict was “not a priority," adding: “I don’t see linkage to Iraq, and Hamas and Fatah are in a state of civil war.”
Now back at American Enterprise Institute, Bolton let loose on a variety of topics during the interview, from negotiating nuclear weapons with Iran to the reunification of the Korean peninsula.
“I wouldn’t have engaged in negotiations with Iran in the first place,” he told the paper, in a nod to Britain, France and Germany, nations that have made contact with Tehran. “The policy has failed. Sanctions won’t stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons.”
Bolton said President Bush and his administration would “rather find a way for diplomacy to succeed but time is running out — that's me speaking."
Condolezza has shown her true colors, and dollars to doughnuts she pressures the President each and every chance she gets, to have a go at talking with Iran.
First, she's a woman and they have less than contempt for her. B, she's a blissninny who loves to hear herself talk, and to a moslem this is even more aggravating. Bolton won't come right out and say it, not now, but I'd love to hear what his opinion of Secretary Rice is once the present administration is history.
Any bets he doesn't believe she's incompetant? Nice woman and all, but please now. There's a world of difference between a negotiator and a placator.
