John Bolton is mad at Obama, again. [View all]

Translation from Bolton-ese: "I wanted a war! But they used diplomacy and it worked!"

Fox’s John Bolton Complains Americans Freed From Iran Is ‘Diplomatic Debacle' For The US

Despite the Fox News doom and gloom about how the negotiated return of 10 U.S. sailors “emboldened” Iran for more aggression, that country just released five U.S. prisoners today. So, naturally, Fox wasted little time looking for excuses to gripe about that, too.

So who better to dig up, if you want to make sure to find some s*** in there somewhere, than John Bolton, the chickenhawk who’s been salivating for war against Iran for years?

Just in case Bolton didn’t get the hint, anchor Kelly Wright began the discussion by saying that “obviously” the families are “ecstatic” at the prisoners’ release and that the White House “calls it a diplomatic victory” but, Wright added, “yet outside of the administration, many say the president capitulated to the Iranians by releasing seven Iranian prisoners, the White House says it was a good will gesture. How do you describe the situation, as a former ambassador?”
