I am not a professional politician.
John Bolton
Image
Everybody pursues their national interests. The only one who gets blamed for it is the United States.
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.

Obama sees America as another country on the UN role call. Somewhere between Albania and Zimbabwe.
John Bolton
Image
A strong State Department to me means a corps of career officials who believe that their job is to advocate America's interests and who are trained in effective advocacy, not schooled in accommodation.
John Bolton
Image
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.

The only way to resolve the North Korean problem is to change the regime.
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

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.

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.

Image
There's no doubt that Iran funds and supplies Hamas with weapons.
John Bolton
Image
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
Image
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

Texas is a big state. It's a major force in the Republican Party.
John Bolton
Image
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
Image
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.

I don't think there is any good answer to the question why shouldn't gays and lesbians who want to serve their country be allowed to do it.

America needs an adult in the White House who knows how to deal with China.

I'm not sure history has ended.

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.
