More quotes by John Bolton
America needs an adult in the White House who knows how to deal with China.
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
I don't think Hamas will be satisfied simply ruling the Gaza Strip.
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
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
Diplomacy is not an end in itself if it does not advance U.S. interests.
John Bolton
There's no doubt that Iran funds and supplies Hamas with weapons.
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
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
I'm not sure history has ended.
John Bolton
Texas is a big state. It's a major force in the Republican Party.
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
Don't get me wrong: I would love to be president.
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
There's no such thing as the United Nations.
John Bolton
There is no excuse for waste, fraud, and abuse in the Defense Department budget.
John Bolton
I've been in the government bureaucracy, I've practiced law, I've done a lot of different things.
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.
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
My priority is to give the United States the kind of influence it should have.
