So many questions.

Why is CNN asking John Bolton his opinion on anything?

He demonstrates clearly by this interview why he has no business in public office. He ridicules the British government for negotiating the release of soldiers captured by Iran.

His speech made it sound inevitable but it may already have begun.

From the Washington Note:

Washington intelligence, military and foreign policy circles are abuzz today with speculation that the President, yesterday or in recent days, sent a secret Executive Order to the Secretary of Defense and to the Director of the CIA to launch military operations against Syria and Iran.

The President may have started a new secret, informal war against Syria and Iran without the consent of Congress or any broad discussion with the country.

The bare outlines of that order may have appeared in President Bush’s Address to the Nation last night outlining his new course on Iraq[…]
