John Bolton and foreign policy

Now that Condi Rice has rejected Sen. Lugar's request to allow Senate Foreign Relations Committee members to review the NSA transcripts John Bolton requested, the very future of bipartisan foreign policy is at stake. For years, people like Dick Lugar, Joe Biden, Lee Hamilton, Chuck Hagel, and others could agree to disagree on individual issues but reached broad consensus about the the threats and foreign policy priorities of the United States (think Nunn-Lugar).

If the White House succeeds at politicizing the congressional oversight process for foreign policy, I fear for my country.
