More quotes by John Bolton
We need a strong and effective State Department. We can't conduct American affairs in the world without it.
John Bolton
As you know, I have over the years written critically about the U.N. I have consistently stressed in my writings that American leadership is critical to the success of the U.N., an effective U.N., one that is true to the original intent of its charter's framers.
John Bolton
I'm not running around the world looking for ways to create hostilities.
John Bolton
I'm a conservative Republican. I have been since I was 15 years old and participated in the 'Goldwater for President' campaign in 1964.
John Bolton
Everybody pursues their national interests. The only one who gets blamed for it is the United States.
John Bolton
There's no doubt that Iran funds and supplies Hamas with weapons.
John Bolton
There is no excuse for waste, fraud, and abuse in the Defense Department budget.
John Bolton
Diplomacy is not an end in itself if it does not advance U.S. interests.
John Bolton
North Korea is going to get away with keeping its nuclear weapons.
John Bolton
The European Union can now act like a major power, at least that is what the European Union tells us.
John Bolton
If I were doing the Security Council today, I'd have one permanent member, the United States, because that's the real reflection of the distribution of power in the world. All international laws are invalid, meaningless attempts to constrict American power.
John Bolton
The European arguments against the Iran-Libya Sanctions Act demonstrate that some Europeans have never lost faith in appeasement as a way of life. It is clear that Iran is cynically manipulating gullible (or equally cynical) Europeans to advance its development of weapons of mass destruction.
John Bolton
I don't think Hamas will be satisfied simply ruling the Gaza Strip.
John Bolton
Just like Sept. 11, only with nuclear weapons this time, that's the threat. I think that is the threat. I think it's just facing reality. It's not a happy reality, but it's reality and if you don't deal with it, it will become even more unpleasant.
John Bolton
The only way to resolve the North Korean problem is to change the regime.
John Bolton
There's no such thing as the United Nations. If the U.N. secretary building in New York lost 10 stories, it wouldn't make a bit of difference.
John Bolton
There is no patriotic obligation to help advance the career of a politician who is otherwise pursuing interests that are fundamentally antithetical to your values. That's not the call of patriotism.
John Bolton
If Iran obtains nuclear weapons, then almost certainly Saudi Arabia will do the same, as will Egypt, Turkey and perhaps others in the region.
John Bolton
Swapping Bergdahl for illegal enemy combatants (terrorists, in common parlance) signaled unmistakably to Taliban and al Qaeda that Obama is determined to withdraw from Afghanistan no matter what the cost to the United States or those in Afghanistan fighting to remain free.
John Bolton
I don't think I would have to run a campaign that's financed like General Motors.
