Bolton honed in on the terror attack in Benghazi, Libya, which he described as paradigm of President Obama's foreign-policy failures because the president "has done nothing to avenge Chris Stevens's death."
"That is a terrible lesson for our adversaries," Bolton said. "Under Barack Obama you can murder his personal representative and get away scot-free."
He also warned that the matter will come back to haunt Hillary Clinton if, as most suspect, she launches a presidential bid in 2016. "We will be happy to tell Hillary Clinton in unmistakable terms, 'We know what difference it makes, even if you don't,'" he said.
Bolton, who has established a political-action committee to support hawkish House and Senate candidates, bristled at the reluctance of Republican politicians in recent years to back foreign interventions and characterized the shift as a "resurgence of isolationism."
"Ignoring our national security is the Obama doctrine," he told the crowd.

It does no good to replace a charlatan with a snake. Both of them cause great harm, and neither one cares who gets hurt.
Bolton was instrumental in the lies which led up to the Iraq invasion. He is an uber zionist who is frustrated at Obama's lack of will in attacking Israel's perceived enemies, i.e., Syria, Iran and now Russia. This is transparent neo-con propaganda. Not that Obama is a shining example of political leadership, but he has managed to keep the chickenhawks from their wet dream of a middle east completely engulfed in flame.
