Why would Fox fire him?

Fox is a neo-con media empire.

Odd how you think Bolton was anti UN. Bolton, actually believes you can fix the UN. What a hoot.

Furthermore, he actually thinks there should be a UN, a global governance to 'manage' the world.

But to Trump, Bolton has never said the Iraq invasion, to my knowledge was a mistake. Something, Trump based part of his campaign on.

John Bolton is a good man and right for the job. Rand Paul should confine himself to domestic policy. He is clueless on foreign policy. JYan McNasty has nothing to do with this. I hate him.

It was a disaster from the beginning, and the Bush administration knew it. Go back and see what Dick Cheney was saying after Operation Desert Storm when he was asked why the U.S. didn't invade Iraq and topple Saddam Hussein's regime back then. The chain of events he predicted in the early 1990s was exactly what happened in the 2000s.
that's just bullsh*t right there. Iraq was won and done. the last step in any victorious war is basing rights. See Japan, Germany, and Korea. The obamites were either unwilling or unable (read: incompetent) to accomplish that simple task. And that's when we had 130,000 armed troops across the street. basing rights could have been force fed to the Iraqi puppet of a president if necessary.

basing rights are easy, they're safe, and they would have preserved the peace and our accomplishment. They would have also obliterated Isis before they could crawl completely out of their hole, and it would have kept Iran in their box.

there weren't three people in all of FR that were against intervention in Iraq when it happened. PERIOD. why people have allowed themselves to be cowed by MSM lies, and why they're willing to sound like they've spent the last 6 years writing obama's talking points for him is beyond me.

people need to find their spines.

There are better choices.

Agreed. There are better choices than Bolton.

you read the word “neocon” more on FR these days than DU, and it doesn’t seem to be any more understood here than there.

it’s just a word being tossed around like a grenade.

By the time Bush left office the military campaign in Iraq had already lasted longer than the U.S. involvement in both World Wars combined. Why are you blaming Obama for botching it?

If the Swamp Thing is smart, he’ll give Hillary a wide berth, especially when she’s having a bad day.

There were plenty of us here on FR who were opposed to the invasion of Iraq in 2003. It’s easy to forget that because most of them are gone.

Even I can answer that one, Obama admin. drew down the troops, too, if one talks about the World Wars, we were pulverizing people in Tokyo, Dresden, never mind Hiroshima and Nagasaki, though that did it for the Pacific.

The invasion of Iraq was officially exposed as a fraud when the U.S. allowed the new Iraqi government to adopt a constitution in which ISLAM IS ENSHRINED AS THE OFFICIAL STATE RELIGION. It wasn’t Barack Hussein Obama who did that, was it?

The U.S. signed an agreement with Iraq that stipulated the exact terms of the removal of U.S. troops. Which president signed that agreement?

But we didn’t pulverize people in Baghdad, Mosul and Fallujah. Because Islam is a religion of peace. Or some sh!t like that, right?

If winning was the only thing that mattered, most of Iraq would be a smoking ruins right now.
