AP, New York, 22 Sept 2011 – A former U.S. envoy to the United Nations says the Obama administration is doing ‘almost nothing’ to protect Iranians from the violence of their own regime.
Former U.S. Ambassador John Bolton spoke outside U.N. General Assembly’s annual ministerial meeting Thursday while hundreds of people protested the presence of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
As Ahmadinejad was about to address the General Assembly, Bolton told The Associated Press that the United States has failed to stop Iran from torturing and killing its own people.
Bolton says that the release of two American hikers held for years by Iran was what he called ‘just Broadway theater.’
