No Deal?

" And -- your America in the Obama administration's first major effort to deal with Iran president Obama asked Russia to do his bidding."

" Saying that a Russia will persuade Iran not to build its nuclear bomb. "

" That the US will rethink its promise to deliver a Russian opposed missile defense system to the Europeans well. The Russian president Dmitry."

" was all for the part about rethinking the missile shield but."

" Brushed off the idea of linking it -- saying."

" He didn't want to haggle over it as if that wasn't enough British Prime Minister Gordon Brown showed up at the White House today with plans to launch a global food deal. And here to sort all of this out for us is former ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton for all of the new world new deal. This is like the old conspiracy theories about one world government that's only that's you well Gordon."

" Brands in deep trouble politically in the United Kingdom -- his expertise is economics obviously not doing well at a so he's going to trying to internationalize the problem I think it'll be very appealing to the Obama administration unfortunately. What do you think about the deal that Obama is proposing as a relates to these missiles that we would otherwise be supporting our our allies with. And is saying that hey if you do this you know. This is a huge mistake I mean let's be very clear in terms of the new Obama administration foreign policy terms this is its first really big mistake for several reasons first. It shows real weakness on their part on behalf of missile defense that party proposed to cut the budget for missile defense by two billion dollars. And now they're saying to the Russians were prepared to barter away for -- this is exactly the opposite of what Ronald Reagan did in his last years an obvious he flatly said he was not going to put. The strategic defense initiative on the table the matter what the Russians want."

" Well he walked away from Reykjavik we want to compare Reagan. And he said peace through strength trust but verify built up our nation's military was modernizing the weapons in Europe the pershing two missiles. For example. When he was president eight you're exactly right just like with the economy everything is the exact opposite of Reagan."

" That's why senator Schumer has it backwards this is not a reaganesque move this is an anti reaganesque move quite apart from the fact Iran is not the only potential nuclear threat in the Middle East we didn't get out of the ABM treaty we didn't start again the missile defense program simply to worry about Iran."

" Well -- I'm beginning to look at foreign policy and you know everyone's well paid attention to the economy but I feel we're setting of really dangerous precedent and a foundation for future trouble. -- the commission report was right they -- war with us for a period of time we weren't at war with them they were lining up against us. Well now would we use in the war on terror we have Hillary Clinton begging the the Chinese took fire bombs -- million dollars going to rebuild Gaza. Hamas Syria Hamas controlled I'm not sure that's the particularly good sign."

" Now it's it's a bad sign all the way around but I will say on this on this issue the Obama campaign. Basically told us exactly what he was going to do that he thought he could talk to everybody and somehow by. Changing Bush Administration attitudes he could change substantive outcomes I think the Russians have already rebuffed his idea on the missile deal. Pocketing the idea of talking about missile defense and rejecting any part of the Iran -- he --"

" Do you think by saying that he would negotiate with rogue dictators to think what Russia taking this very public posture against him basically almost dismissing were going to haggle over -- know -- no deal."

" He's taking showing weakness and you think that others will interpret it that he's."

" Weak on national defense I don't think there's any question about it looked negotiations something use one it's in the US national interest and that occurs and have been the vast majority foreign policy problems. But there -- some like nuclear proliferation by states like Iran and North Korea that are not going to be solved by negotiation and by. But by putting that Ford is his position I really think it does show we decided if -- if Hillary is meeting with us Syria. If they're going to put all this money into Gaza you can't tell me that some of that money is not going to go to -- do you believe that of course it will end up with Hamas taking credit Ford and and that is really the the mistake here because that although we care about the humanitarian situation the Palestinian people. This will have a very profound impact on Hamas all the plays the big question then of the night is this that while all paid the attention of the economy which as we've been discussing we'll discuss further tonight as it tanks. All we've really. Going back to a pre 9/11 mindset I think America I think we're going back to a Jimmy Carter administration mindset that we haven't inordinate fear of terrorism around the world were not worried about nuclear proliferation. This is going to come back to -- I'm afraid very quickly and -- how close so that it would nuclear weapon. That decision whether to weaponized is entirely within their discretion they have all the science and technology I think they could do it within a matter six or not -- not explainable. This is what they had never understood why do people think that you can negotiate with maniacs. The you know holocaust and Myers in the case about whether they shot a guy that's vowed to annihilate. You know Israel might come off the map. And -- is seeking nuclear weapons -- assists optimism coming from. Well I think it's very naive but it lies right at the heart of the administration's foreign policy chaired by the president the vice president the secretary of state so what we've seen with this overture to the Russians on Iran you're going to see a lot more of and it's very dangerous an idea and do you -- Pat way to begin the conversation you have with some of these guys -- keeping the conversation with somebody that has this distorted perverted world feel well what you're doing is giving them legitimacy and you're giving them time especially in the case of Iran which needs more time to marry its nuclear weapon as it develops it with its missile capability that'll have to negotiate with us it gives them an asset they couldn't otherwise get there wanted to get -- world stage that as saying they craven desire. Ambassador good to see things -- as we appreciate."
