OH WOW I wish he still UN ambasseror he putting no punches

[joebuck]

NOW we know why the Dems were so dedicated to keeping this guy under wraps. He speaketh in a manner which resonates with the truth. Someone this articulate and perceptive is a threat to the Globalist powers that be, Dem and Rino.

[kinoxi]

This guy, Bolton, NAILS IT.

He seems consistent with 'nailing it' as well. Once again my dream team,

Hunter/Bolton '08

[AmericanInTokyo]

It's how Bush and Condi USED to speak.

That's why they hired him.

They would fire him nowadays, I am absolutely, 100% convinced.

He would be a nuisance, and impediment to "legacy".

[Beagle8U]

Bolton would make a great VP for Fred Thompson.

[AmericanInTokyo]

For Duncan Hunter for that matter, too! I still think he would be MUCH MORE EFFECTIVE as Secretary of State to clean out that vile swamp of snakes and turds.

PS, Michael Ladeen had this review of Bolton's book, online, just now:

"Muffled as we are so often by the filters of political correctness, it comes as a welcome liberation to read the clear words of John Bolton. "Surrender Is Not an Option" (Threshold Editions, 488 pages, $27) is not a short book, but there aren't many wasted words, and you won't be in any doubt about Mr. Bolton's thoughts and convictions, both of which are clear and honorable. Take North Korea, for example, a subject that has afflicted him for many years: "Just as the Italians once dealt with Mussolini, and the Romanians with Ceausescu, one day the North Korean people may have the chance to deal with Kim Jong-il. His death will be dirty and contemptible, like his life and his regime, and it will be exactly what he deserves." Or take Iran, now dominating the front pages, as it dominated much of Mr. Bolton's time at both the United Nations and the Department of State: "The fact is that Iran will never voluntarily give up its nuclear program, and a policy based on the contrary assumption is not just delusional but dangerous. This is the road to the Nuclear Holocaust." "

What makes Bolton great is not only his views but speaking directly.

Glad you were able to catch Bolton last night on Batchelor.

Meanwhile, check out how he tells off appeasers in the U.K., just recently, as reported by the BBC:

"...Meanwhile, John Bolton, a former US ambassador known for his extreme neocon views, launched a vitriolic attack on the archbishop and all critics of the US-led war on the BBC Radio 4 Today programme. He called (liberal Anglican leader) Dr Williams' comments "incoherent", said that there "was a good reason that the Anglican church does not declare its leaders infallible" and invited the archbishop to "concentrate on his day job". Mr Bolton had been given the opportunity to plug his new book on Iraq and related issues. Unchallenged by any opposing viewpoint, he called for the selective bombing of Iran over the nuclear installations row."

LOL!

John Bolton for Secretary of State! VP! President!!! Love him. He speaks straight-across and on-target. No “create your own reality/visualize world peace/can’t we just all get along” vibes from Bolton; so refreshing. Although I’m favoring Hunter, whoever Bolton endorses will get my attention, as well.

[AmericanInTokyo]

From what I have read, Mr. Bolton has made up his mind whom he supports on the GOP side, but he is not saying.

That should make it interesting.

[AmericanInTokyo]

Visual Whirled Peas (as they say) ;-)

[SoCalPol]

Yup, that is the BBC, extreme NC, vitriolic attack.
Fair and Balanced, not

Only Bolton has the Chutzpah to put the Arch Bish. of C in his place.

[tje]

bttt

It's like being under the Sorting Hat -

Not Giuliani. Not Giuliani.

Not Giuliani, eh? Well, if you're sure, better be...

THOMPSON!

[TigerLikesRooster]

Bolton straight to the truth which can be uncomfortable to many. This is what we can call “intellectual integrity.” Many smart guys are lacking intellectual integrity, which will turn them into self-serving sophists. Their intellect is used to rationalize what is plainly wrong.

[AmericanInTokyo]

You could be right.

I tend to think Duncan Hunter seems to have the viewpoint closest to Bolton, from what I can see.

Duncan Hunter is a pretty clear cut, straight shooting kind of guy who leaves nothing to the imagination in terms of his policy positions.

[AmericanInTokyo]

You describe many in the US State Department.

Intelligent. Yet abject fools.

[gaijin]

Worked Foggy Bottom and HATED IT.

Quitting was the BEST career decision I EVER MADE...!

Good riddance..! That was CLOSE!

[no dems]

Oh, what I would give if John Bolton would run for President.
