Bolton: This is the most radical anti-Israel speech I can recall any president making.
Two phrases in what you've just heard, the president says that "America does not accept" and I'm quoting now, "the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlements." Not 'new Israeli settlements', "continued Israeli", which, this is Mr.Wordsmith here, that calls into question in my mind all Israeli settlements.
Glenn Beck: Did we sell out Israel today?
John Bolton: I
think it's very close to it. As I say, I think it's the most
anti-Israel speech I can remember by an American president, and the
important thing is, when you have the Palestinians in as a weak of a
position as they are now, and to have Barack Obama be their lawyer in effect, puts them in a very strong bargaining place. . .
John Bolton: Dramatically, I think that we put Israel on the chopping block. This speech demonstrates to the Palestinians, they don't have to make concessions, the president is going to take care of them. . .
John Bolton: The Liberal international economic order's stability in the world as a whole since 1945, has rested on the United States. Rested on us and allies in many cases, rested on our nuclear deterrent, rested on our armed forces, rested on our determination to preserve freedom in the world. And I think what he just said was, our policy for the last sixty years has been wrong.
