More quotes by John Bolton

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

John Bolton
Don't get me wrong: I would love to be president.
John Bolton

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
Everybody pursues their national interests. The only one who gets blamed for it is the United States.
John Bolton
I am not a professional politician.
John Bolton
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.
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
Diplomacy is not an end in itself if it does not advance U.S. interests.
