Diplomacy is not an end in itself if it does not advance U.S. interests.
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
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.

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

There's no doubt that Iran funds and supplies Hamas with weapons.
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

I think it's critical that we return national security issues to the center of the overall political debate in America.
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.

North Korea is going to get away with keeping its nuclear weapons.
John Bolton

Maybe it's my libertarian philosophy: but being in government is hard.
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
Just like Sept. 11, only with nuclear weapons this time, that's the threat. I think that is the threat. I think it's just facing reality. It's not a happy reality, but it's reality and if you don't deal with it, it will become even more unpleasant.
John Bolton
Image
I'm not sure history has ended.
John Bolton
Image
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
Image
I'm not running around the world looking for ways to create hostilities.
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.
John Bolton
Image
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.
John Bolton
Image
There is no excuse for waste, fraud, and abuse in the Defense Department budget.
John Bolton

I am not a professional politician.
