Via RCP, this isn’t the first time he’s hint-hint-hinted that he’s thinking about this, but since the last post about it was received rapturously by commenters, I figured you might be hungry for more. To my surprise, he does sound serious here about running. His earlier conversation with the Daily Caller about a potential candidacy was more coy, which made me believe he was just teasing a bit, but this time he owns right up to considering a campaign. Maybe the response to the previous trial balloon was so enthusiastic that he figured it’s worth floating a bigger one? I’m curious to see what he does next.
The other reason to post this is because it gives me an excuse to link this ominous report about Iran possibly working on yet another secret uranium enrichment facility. (Bolton mentions it briefly in the clip.) The allegation comes from an Iranian dissident group called the National Council of Resistance of Iran; there’s reason to be skeptical, but there’s also reason to think they’re right. They were the ones, after all, who first publicly revealed the existence of the Natanz enrichment facility back in 2002. A U.S. official says that while there’s some sort of construction going on in the area identified by NCRI, there’s no evidence whatsoever that it’s nuclear-related. I sure hope he’s right, because when it comes to bomb-making, it’s not Iran’s nuclear reactors that are important. It’s the enrichment facilities, which are capable of mining explosive U235 from the more benign U238 used for nuclear power. Stay tuned.
I’m in.
Bolton, Sheriff Joe, Sarah Palin - people of courage and conservative principle that could get my vote.
Bolton/DeMint
Yep, mine also.
Go get ‘em John B. I like your style!!!
Bolton seems to have the requisite philosophical underpinning to be a great POTUS. He should run with Arpaio.
Please DO!
I’m in!
I could support Bolton.
Imagine a presidential candidate who puts America’s interests first instead of treating his own country as just one of the many countries in the world.
Bolton/Arpaio
Sarah Palin can be Press Secretary. She’s the anti-Gibbs.
John Bolton/ Liz Cheney!!!
Too good to be true!!!!
Imagine a presidential season where someone who really knows foreign policy and actuallly likes America forced all the other candidates to speak on the issues rather that two step it.
I’m betting the left is trying to dig up dirt as we speak, but from what I’ve seen of Bolton, I don’t think they’ll find any. Doesn’t seem like the kind of guy who would have any skeletons.
If those two ran together, it would scare the hell out of the left. I’ve said this before, we need a war time President, not one that is afraid of his own shadow. It’s time this country stood up and showed the world that we will not be messed with. We can be the worlds friends, but cross us and you will pay dearly.
RE: Please DO!
HOLD YOUR HORSES FOLKS !!
He’s great on FOREIGN POLICY but we DO NOT KNOW what his convictions are on DOMESTIC, FISCAL or SOCIAL POLICIES.
Where does he stand on abortion, gay marriage, illegal immigration, justices legislating on the bench, the budget deficit, social security, healthcare ?
Gosh, we’re all too quick to hitch a ride on this wagon. Do you even know where it’s headed ?
