john bolton is a former u.n. ambassador and fox news contributor. ambassador bolton, a lot of revelations about connections to al qaeda and 9/11 that were not revealed before yesterday. what do you make of all this? >> well i think it is further evidence that the administration's argument this had something to do with that ridiculous movie trailer and that it was all completely spontaneous and basically we were the ones that had to modify our behavior continues to shred and that the risk of terrorism, risk of support for the blind sheikh and his terrorist attack of 20 years ago, the clear evidence of involvement by al qaeda in the megreb and benghazi attack show the war on terror is long way from being over. martha: i think that is the biggest point here. why do you think they would send out susan rice, the ambassador to the u.n., with the message, make sure you let everyone know this is spontaneous attack when there had been warnings on september the 9th. they were collecting data that showed that there was a lot of concern that this was related to

ambassador to the united nations, and a fox news contributor, john bolton joins us now, as he does about every sunday at this time. good morning, ambassador. >> good morning, eric, glad to be with you. >> eric: do you think the administration can do enough to tamp it down? >> well, i think they've got two responsibilities, the first, the most immediate responsibility, is to see to the security of u.s. officials, in these various countries. and, they've taken various steps to try and do that but they are running into opposition, as has been reported. and couldn't get the anti-terrorism security team into the sudan, so they had to draw down the embassy to only essential personnel. they can't get the fbi in to libya yet and i think there are problems in other places as well, so, the risk to official americans, i think, remains very high, we have reports of demonstrations in pakistan and afghanistan today. but, beyond the official americans are the private citizens, you know, you just reported on the trashing of the school in tunis, when the reuters, the demonstrators and the terrorist can't

john bolton has endorsed mitt romney for president. you say you are not that happy with the president response so far. >> no. i think it has been week. all of whom are potentially at risk from this attack. dennis: protect them from doing what? >> .com the second point. he needs to make it there publicly and privately that they did not fulfill their responsibilities to protect our people. i think that message has to go out to other governments in the region as well. i am very worried we are at a moment before our diplomats were taken hostage. dennis: it does seem fairly familiar to those who remember 1979. mitt romney came out this morning with a rather strong statement which was critical of the obama administration. >> american leadership is necessary to make sure that event in the region to not spin out of control. we cannot hesitate to use our influence in the region to support those who share our values and our interests. dennis: i thought political candidates had a certain spoken tendency that you do not decide your government when
