Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton is blasting President Obama for offering nothing new in the fight against radical Islamic terrorism and stubbornly sticking to a weak policy policy that isn’t getting the job done.

On Friday, Obama spoke in response to the Bastille Day terrorist attack in Nice, France, where 31-year-old Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel drove a delivery truck down a crowded pedestrian avenue, killing at least 84 people and wounding as many as 200 others.

Obama’s initial statement Thursday evening referred to the atrocity as a “horrific terrorist attack,” but the bulk of the message promised assistance to the French government and vowed that France would remain strong in the wake of the attack.

Bolton told WND and Radio America Obama once again offered “nothing new.”

“His heart’s not in this,” Bolton said. “He talked about development assistance to alleviate poverty, as if there’s the slightest correlation at all between poverty and radical Islamic ideology or the terrorists.”

Bolton added, “In fact, the correlation goes the other way. It’s some of the wealthier, better-educated people who turn into terrorists.”

He said Obama simply refuses to see the extent of the threat.
