John Bolton
Image
My philosophy is not a bean-counting, accounting 'look at this.' It is a philosophy that smaller government is better government, and government that is closer to the people is best of all.
John Bolton
Image
I am not a professional politician.
John Bolton
Image
North Korea is going to get away with keeping its nuclear weapons.
John Bolton
Image
I don't much believe in bumper sticker characterizations of foreign policy.
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
Diplomacy is not an end in itself if it does not advance U.S. interests.
John Bolton
Image
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.

There is no excuse for waste, fraud, and abuse in the Defense Department budget.
