John Bolton: While nukes proliferate, Obama fiddles | Washington Examiner: "In his lengthy State of the Union address, President Obama was brief on national security issues, which he squeezed in toward the end. Nonetheless, Obama boasted that 'the United States and Russia are completing negotiations on the farthest-reaching arms control treaty in nearly two decades' and that he is trying to secure 'all vulnerable nuclear materials around the world in four years, so that they never fall into the hands of terrorists.'

Then came Obama's critical linkage: 'These diplomatic efforts have also strengthened our hand in dealing with those nations that insist on violating international agreements in pursuit of nuclear weapons.'

Obama described the increasing 'isolation' of both North Korea and Iran, the two most conspicuous -- but far from the only -- nuclear proliferators. He also mentioned the increased sanctions imposed on Pyongyang after its second nuclear test in 2009 and the 'growing consequences' he says Iran will face because of his policies."
