I like the trademark Bolton bluntness and plainspoken manner of speaking, but I hear he still believes in ‘exporting democracy’ into other nations. That concept did not work at all in Iraq. We have been involved in a very long ‘war’ in that region ever since Bush 1. Even now, nothing seems resolved. We will declare the mission won, then a few weeks or months later, ISIS or Hama returns, sometimes at the citizen’s own behest. That who region is nothing but Quagmire
material for us.
There are few things Trump can do to damage his credibility more badly than nominating a globalist retread like this to the Secretary of State post.
