More quotes by John Bolton
I don't think I would have to run a campaign that's financed like General Motors.
John Bolton
Well, you could take several stories off the buildings of most U.S. government agencies and we'd all probably be better for it too.
John Bolton
There's no doubt that Iran funds and supplies Hamas with weapons.
John Bolton
Let me ask, who died and made him king? Who gave him the authority to endanger 300 million Americans? That's not the way it works, and if he thinks he can get away with that, he's got another think coming.
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
Maybe it's my libertarian philosophy: but being in government is hard.
John Bolton
There is no excuse for waste, fraud, and abuse in the Defense Department budget.
John Bolton
Every country has an aspect to it that rubs up people the wrong way.
John Bolton
My philosophy is not a bean-counting, accounting 'look at this.' It is a philosophy that smaller government is better government, and government that is closer to the people is best of all.
John Bolton
Our biggest national security crisis is Barack Obama.
John Bolton
We need a strong and effective State Department. We can't conduct American affairs in the world without it.
John Bolton
It was right to overthrow Saddam Hussein. It was the regime itself that was a threat. I think in hindsight, what I would have done is turn authority back over to Iraqis much more quickly and say: Your country, you figure out how to run it.
John Bolton
If you get a President (Hillary) Clinton, you might well find, just as after Vietnam, that there is a retraction from Iraq and of American influence in the world. And in a couple of years the Europeans will be complaining about that too.
John Bolton
North Korea is going to get away with keeping its nuclear weapons.
John Bolton
Don't get me wrong: I would love to be president.
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
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
The only way to resolve the North Korean problem is to change the regime.
John Bolton
You know, as somebody who writes op-eds and appears on the television, I appreciate as well as anybody that…there is a limit to what that accomplishes.
John Bolton
I wouldn't give up on Russia. I think they have legitimate security concerns from Islamic fundamentalism, not only on their border but in their country.
