Bolton: Obama gets no credit for killing Osama

Former US Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton told CPAC over the weekend that the killing of Osama Bin Laden was '20 years in the making' and that President Obama does not deserve credit for it (Hat Tip: Jack W).

"Basically what Obama did was get out of the way," said Mr. Bolton Saturday at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington. "It was a decision that 99.99 percent of the American people would agree with. That does not equal a foreign policy."

Mr. Bolton, who represented the U.N. in 2005 and 2006 during the administration of President George W. Bush, accused Mr. Obama of neglecting foreign policy issues and encouraged a CPAC audience to "replace the Obama policy of drift, decline and defeatism with a Reaganite foreign policy."

"Barack Obama brought us to the brink of an Iranian nuclear weapons capability, dangerous proliferation worldwide, dramatic insecurity and instability in the Middle East and growing threats to Israel and paralyzing reductions in our defense and intelligence budgets," he said.

I wonder if Obama will be relieved to hear that he's not responsible for killing someone.
