More quotes by John Bolton

John Bolton
Our biggest national security crisis is Barack Obama.
John Bolton
Every country has an aspect to it that rubs up people the wrong way.

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
I don't think I would have to run a campaign that's financed like General Motors.
John Bolton
Everybody pursues their national interests. The only one who gets blamed for it is the United States.
John Bolton
I don't much believe in bumper sticker characterizations of foreign policy.
John Bolton
I'm not sure history has ended.
John Bolton
There's no such thing as the United Nations.
John Bolton
There's no doubt that Iran funds and supplies Hamas with weapons.
John Bolton
I'm not running around the world looking for ways to create hostilities.
