Behind the scenes, Condoleezza Rice, Stephen Hadley and Robert Gates (three Bush administration veterans) are reportedly lobbying Senators against his confirmation.

Confirmation of why Bolton SHOULD be confirmed.

Hopefully he'll be in charge of fumigating Foggy Bottom of its career Arabists.

And Trump doesn’t. bolton is a neocon global interventionist who help FAKE news on wmd to kill 4000 American heroes, wound 40,000 American heroes and kill 300,000 Iraqi men women and children. I hate the son of a bitch! — He did it For nothing!! That stupid son of a bitch wants to BOMB IRAN!! A country that has 68 million and an army, air force and navy of 750,000. I want you and your daughter to go first!! I have a clue for you, LEAVE OTHER PEOPLE,the HELL, ALONE unless they frick with you. COMPRENDE?

Bolton should host a radio show. The Mark Levin spot might be available soon. We’ll need another raving lunatic.

That’s not what Bolton will be in charge of, just as Tillerson won’t be in charge of the boy scouts

Well, Bolton certainly has the right enemies, but there are better picks.

Bolton will get promoted to Tillerson’s job in Trumps 2nd term. That’s how it works.

Follow the money. Condi and Gates are paid by Exxon. They support Tillerson. They are not lobbying on Bolton’s behalf because he isn’t paying them off. Time to drain the swamp ASAP.

And someone to balance against the Chamber of Crony Globalists lobbying forces that will have a friendly ear in Tillerson.

Bolton opposed Millennium Development Goals. Good.

They were an unrealistic leftist wish list, unmoored from cause and effect polices to achieve them, that would scuttle society trying to save it. Mainly hand the US the bill for the rest of the world to live better.

For example:
- Eliminate gender disparity in primary and secondary education, preferably by 2005, and in all levels of education no later than 2015 (I guess that timeframe would require the West to pay)

- Integrate the principles of sustainable development into country policies and programs and reverse the loss of environmental resources (Energy use per $1 GDP, Carbon dioxide emissions per capita, etc., etc.)

- Deal comprehensively with the debt problems of developing countries through national and international measures.

- cancellation of official bilateral debt, and more generous official development assistance for countries committed to poverty reduction.

Hmmm...the author describes a diplomate who is loyal to his country and hostile to the u n.

Those make him a good choice for the job.

This is just some UN turd explaining why Bolton is not subservient to the UN mafia.

Ya....Isolationist.

Your characterizations are without merit.

I’ll take Bolton as Deputy thank you.

In terms of cleaning out the State Department trash, he’s the perfect zero-sum, take-no-prisoners, person for the job. Let Tillerson do the delicate stuff, but put a pit bull into the important dog fights.
