More quotes by John Bolton
I'm not running around the world looking for ways to create hostilities.
John Bolton
Diplomacy is not an end in itself if it does not advance U.S. interests.
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 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
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
The Republican Party is the party of national security. There's hardly a national security wing of the Democratic Party anymore. So if we turn away from it, that'll be a big problem.
John Bolton
We estimate that once Iraq acquires fissile material - whether from a foreign source or by securing the materials to build an indigenous fissile material capability - it could fabricate a nuclear weapon within one year.
John Bolton
My priority is to give the United States the kind of influence it should have.
John Bolton
I think some of this fascination with the 'Arab Spring' is just a grand experiment with Israel's survival.
John Bolton
Our biggest national security crisis is Barack Obama.
John Bolton
America needs an adult in the White House who knows how to deal with China.
John Bolton
I've been surrounded by some of the best economic minds in the country, and hopefully I've absorbed some of that.
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
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
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
I've been in the government bureaucracy, I've practiced law, I've done a lot of different things.
John Bolton
We need a strong and effective State Department. We can't conduct American affairs in the world without it.
John Bolton
There is no excuse for waste, fraud, and abuse in the Defense Department budget.
John Bolton
I don't think I would have to run a campaign that's financed like General Motors.
John Bolton
Reform is not a one-night stand.
