More quotes by John Bolton
I'm not running around the world looking for ways to create hostilities.
John Bolton
Obama sees America as another country on the UN role call. Somewhere between Albania and Zimbabwe.
John Bolton
If Iran obtains nuclear weapons, then almost certainly Saudi Arabia will do the same, as will Egypt, Turkey and perhaps others in the region.
John Bolton
Maybe it's my libertarian philosophy: but being in government is hard.

John Bolton
The only way to resolve the North Korean problem is to change the regime.
John Bolton
There's no such thing as the United Nations.

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
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
Our biggest national security crisis is Barack Obama.
John Bolton
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
The European Union can now act like a major power, at least that is what the European Union tells us.
John Bolton
My priority is to give the United States the kind of influence it should have.
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
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.
John Bolton
I've been surrounded by some of the best economic minds in the country, and hopefully I've absorbed some of that.
John Bolton
I don't much believe in bumper sticker characterizations of foreign policy.
John Bolton
North Korea is going to get away with keeping its nuclear weapons.
John Bolton
Diplomacy is not an end in itself if it does not advance U.S. interests.
John Bolton
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.
