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
There is no excuse for waste, fraud, and abuse in the Defense Department budget.
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.
John Bolton
Image
I wouldn't give up on Russia. I think they have legitimate security concerns from Islamic fundamentalism, not only on their border but in their country.
John Bolton
Image
I'm not running around the world looking for ways to create hostilities.
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.

I don't think Hamas will be satisfied simply ruling the Gaza Strip.
John Bolton
Image
There's no such thing as the United Nations. If the U.N. secretary building in New York lost 10 stories, it wouldn't make a bit of difference.
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.

I am not a professional politician.
John Bolton
Image
Every country has an aspect to it that rubs up people the wrong way.
John Bolton
Image
Maybe it's my libertarian philosophy: but being in government is hard.
John Bolton
Image
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
Image
I don't much believe in bumper sticker characterizations of foreign policy.
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
We need a strong and effective State Department. We can't conduct American affairs in the world without it.
John Bolton
Image
I'm a conservative Republican. I have been since I was 15 years old and participated in the 'Goldwater for President' campaign in 1964.
John Bolton
Image
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
Image
I think it's critical that we return national security issues to the center of the overall political debate in America.

Let me ask, who died and made him king? Who gave him the authority to endanger 300 million Americans? That's not the way it works, and if he thinks he can get away with that, he's got another think coming.
