Ambassador Bolton: Most of the Military Agrees With Robert Gates’ Opinion of Obama

BOLTON: “I don't think it would have because of his fundamental, Gates’ fundamental insight. The president didn't think this was his war and wanted to get out. I haven't read the book like everybody else commenting on it today, but from the excerpts we've seen I think the real insight that Gates provides is that president Obama simply is not concerned with American national security. The notion that politics could trump a national security decision can only occur in the mind of somebody who simply doesn't pay much attention to national security. I think it's a serious charge against the president, but not that there was politics involved but that national security rated so low in his mind-set.”
