Bolton: ISIS, al Qaeda, Taliban Don’t See United States as ‘Being an Effective Opponent’

SHAWN: "Ambassador, from the troops being cut to not arming the rebels - how do we reverse the trend that seems to be going against us?"

BOLTON: "I don't think we're going to reverse the trend. I think we need to be very clear-eyed about this. I think as long as President Obama is in office, he's going to purse his view that this is a law enforcement  matter; it’s not a war; it can be handled through due process; criminal prosecutions  in the United States. I think that's simply going to encourage the terrorist whether it's Taliban in Afghanistan, ISIS in what used to be Iraq and Syria or elsewhere to continue on their way, because they do not see the United States as being an effective opponent."
