THE PRESIDENT’S national security adviser is meant to coordinate policy formation inside the administration, manage disagreements among agencies and tee up important decisions, while separately advising the president of his or her own views. John Bolton, whom President Trump has said will take over the position next month, is unsuited for that role.

Sure. Just like Reagan's ‘extremism’ led the country to catastrophe, and Obama’s ‘reasoned and considered’ approach made us safer and stronger in the world..

For people who define “the country” as SanFrancisco, Boston, New York and Chicago, it could, indeed, be disaster.

Just like George Washington did.

The entire Left and a lot of GOP are like the Tories who favored British tyranny over freedom and independence.

... or it could lead to avoidance of a war. If they are afraid of us, they’ll behave. Otherwise we were going to have a war anyway. To me, he’s a “last ditch effort” to avoid a war with Korea .. same with Pompeo.

The Afgahn War was even better than the Iraq War - our children now have all that Heroin

Bolton is a serial failure. A blowhard who has never been right on anything.
