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
We need a strong and effective State Department. We can't conduct American affairs in the world without it.
John Bolton
I'm not running around the world looking for ways to create hostilities.
John Bolton

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.
