John Bolton: Obama Presidency Dangerous For U.S.

A Barack Obama presidency would spell danger for the Middle East and for America's interests in the region, former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton told WND in an interview.

Bolton expressed concern Obama will not support the use of force to fight terrorism by U.S. allies, such as Israel.

"Obama may cause a real problem with our friends or allies who see the world as a more difficult place, such as those dealing with terrorist acts in Gaza, the West Bank or Hezbollah in Lebanon," said Bolton.

"All these things can be handled by talks, according to Obama. But when it is necessary to resort to force or self defense, Obama would look on in disfavor," Bolton said.

Bolton argued Obama holds a "broad conviction" that "everything can be negotiated and can be solved through negotiations."

"He has a faith in the negotiation process as matter that drives policy and not as one aspect of policy only when negotiations make sense," Bolton told WND.
