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.

Don't get me wrong: I would love to be president.
John Bolton
Image
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
Image
I think it's critical that we return national security issues to the center of the overall political debate in America.
John Bolton

I don't much believe in bumper sticker characterizations of foreign policy.
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.

Texas is a big state. It's a major force in the Republican Party.
John Bolton
Image
A strong State Department to me means a corps of career officials who believe that their job is to advocate America's interests and who are trained in effective advocacy, not schooled in accommodation.

The European Union can now act like a major power, at least that is what the European Union tells us.
John Bolton
