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
There's no such thing as the United Nations.
John Bolton
I don't think I would have to run a campaign that's financed like General Motors.
John Bolton
Texas is a big state. It's a major force in the Republican Party.
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.
