"So you're NOT in favor of Obama's Drone policy OR...you're embarrassed you're fighting alongside John Bolton in your effort to defend Obama?"

...at "gotcha" is a fail. Here's Bolton:

“It seems to me that the approach that the Obama administration is following is consistent with and really derived from the Bush administration approach to the War on Terror,” Bolton told host Jenna Lee.

Utter bullshit. What the hell does that mean ("consistent with and really derived&quot ? Bush didn't issue a justification for shit. His statements and those coming from his administration were lies. I watched a number of hearings where Bolton and Rice lied their asses off.

If Bush's policy was coherent he wouldn't have let bin Laden escape, wouldn't have launched a bullshit illegal war in Iraq and wouldn't have resorted to torture.

I'd be "embarrassed" latching onto Bolton's statement to prove a point.
