A lot of people say things like you two did.
This article puts some perspective on it.
The Center for Security Policy seems to be Frank Gaffney’s organization. Some stories say Trump has picked Gaffney as a transition advisor.
1. As one of the foremost "neo-cons" in America, Frank Gaffney has a vested interest in defending someone like Bolton who has the same foreign/military policy agenda.
2. My criticism of Bolton has nothing to do with his role (or lack thereof) in any "Iraq war planning" during the Bush administration. My main criticism of Bolton is that he had been pushing for an invasion of Iraq for years before Bush was even in office, even though: (A) it was not in America's best interests, and (B) it was likely to have disastrous consequences for America and the people of Iraq.
