More quotes by John Bolton
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.
John Bolton
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
The only way to resolve the North Korean problem is to change the regime.
John Bolton
I've been in the government bureaucracy, I've practiced law, I've done a lot of different things.
John Bolton
People don't like to talk about victory and defeat anymore.
John Bolton
People say you favor assassination, what do you think war is? Except that it's assassination on a much larger scale, a much more horrific scale.
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
I think it's critical that we return national security issues to the center of the overall political debate in America.
John Bolton
Obama sees America as another country on the UN role call. Somewhere between Albania and Zimbabwe.
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
Diplomacy is not an end in itself if it does not advance U.S. interests.
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
I don't think I would have to run a campaign that's financed like General Motors.
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
I don't much believe in bumper sticker characterizations of foreign policy.
John Bolton
Texas is a big state. It's a major force in the Republican Party.
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
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
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.
John Bolton
Don't get me wrong: I would love to be president.
