I've been in the government bureaucracy, I've practiced law, I've done a lot of different things.

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.

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.

I think it's critical that we return national security issues to the center of the overall political debate in America.
John Bolton

Everybody pursues their national interests. The only one who gets blamed for it is the United States.

Diplomacy is not an end in itself if it does not advance U.S. interests.
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.

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.

There is no excuse for waste, fraud, and abuse in the Defense Department budget.

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