AMBASSADOR JOHN BOLTON on the Obama administration's reaction to Benghazi. For the first time, Bolton says publicly what I've long believed -- that the 'blame America first' mentality is so strong in Obama and his appointees that any evidence to the contrary simply cannot be believed.

Watch the video. The Bolton interview begins about 4:20.

UPDATE (bumped): When it rains, it pours. Newt Gingrich makes the same point on Huckabee Saturday (10/13).
