IIRC Gingrich on Hannity said he didn’t want a cabinet position, just to be an advisor

Bolton could.be very very good in this job. Someone has to clean the Nazis out of the Snake department bunker. Bolton looks like he could do
It, if anyone can.

Somewhat mixed feelings about Bolton, but generally think this is the right pick. Look, the world is on fire. We need someone who can hit the ground running. Very few people like Bolton can do this. Good pick.

Has Bolton recognized and admitted that removing Saddam Hussein turned out to be one of the biggest strategic and geopolitical blunders of recent history?

If the answer is yes and he has rethought this epic disaster, than he should be welcome. But if he has not, then the answer should be not just "no", but "hell no"!

Nobody wants to be SoS, you have to fly around and kiss ass with foreign potentates all the time. Bolton could do really well there.

It did not change. Bolton’s anti-UN stance would give him my vote.

I think Special Advisor to the President could work for Newt.

The world is on fire, but the Bolton crew helped to light the match!

???? That reputation would be a feather in his cap for me. I have no idea if has changed or not. Somebody indicated that he hates the UN, which in my book suggests that he still is anti-communist.

State is a byzantine organization . . .

. . . and nit-picky as well. I worked with a guy who was a co-pilot flying DC3s during the Vietnam War. He said he applied for a State job while over there - filled out the application and handed it in. Snotty clerk says "You don't follow directions very well, do you?". Guys asks WTF? Cleck says "The form says to 'X' the boxes and you used check marks." Guy told the clerk to stuff it and stayed with the DC3s.

You cannot deny he has a strong resumé...

And can get his point across succinctly

Agreed. I like Bolton, a lot. He is smart, Constitutionally centered, no nonsense, outspoken and courageous in the face of progressive lunacy. Libs hate him with a purple passion. Works for me.

Excellent choice indeed, if it turns out this way for Bolton.
