I love that he loathes the UN but, uh, there was some risk the USA was going to get into a lot of unneccesary war$.
Hmmmmmm....................
John Roberts is gone too?
Can’t say I’m sorry. I never did like Hawks.
Fine by me. Bolton is a neocon war hawk. His instincts about the UN are correct but his desire to meddle abroad is dangerous.
HALLELUJAH!!! War mongering uberstatist who never met a foreign entanglement he did not celebrate!!!
I thank GOD every day for Donald Trump for cleaning out this cabal of Chenney/Bolton pseudopatriot scum from the state dept.
The myth that “if we don’t fight them over there, then they will come here” has done nothing but breed the kind of rage that creates terrrorists, kill our boys for NOTHING, bankrupt the country, and dance like a marionette on a string to the Likud.
One can only hope Pompeo is next.
Bad news for the Neocons and deep state folks. Good news for Libertarians. I’m just sayin’.
“Arabs envy our bikinis, booze and colleges.”
No they don’t.
And we can’t re-create the mid-west in the Middle East and we shouldn’t ever try, not even a little bit.
Interesting. Thanks for posting.
Drain the swamp !
I will watch this thread to see how many more of my FRiends have changed their core principles since Trump was elected.
ODeepStateWarHawkUla!
Now Bolton can go back to being President of Red Eye.
My best guess:
Bolton: We should immediately attack countries A, B, and C.
Trump: Ah, no.
Bolton: How about just countries A and B then?
Trump: Well, bye.
Excellent!
I say that Bolton will be making the rounds of CNN and MSNBC denouncing Trump within 2 weeks.
Yawn... Just another brilliant rope-a-dope by the WH genius...
The fact that he worked in both Bush administrations should have disqualified him.
What’s really odd is that about an hour ago The White House announced Bolton would be part of a press briefing (along with Pompeo and Mnuchin) in the briefing room.
My guess is that yes the Afghan situation has a good chance of having something to do with it, but it was Pompeo and the State Department, not Bolton, that were taking the lead on that situation. So, if Afghanistan is part of the background in why Bolton is leaving, I suggest that it is Bolton who decided on his own to leave; because likely he is in a “I told you so” position with respect to what Pompeo and the State Department did not, and were not going to, achieve with the Taliban. But, instead of Trump firing Pompeo and the U.S. negotiator with the Taliban, when Trump announced the talks with the Taliban were dead, he, Trump said he is keeping them on. If that is the case, I suggest, that Bolton then decided he had no voice with Trump, so why stay.
Now then, what I hope to G-d is NOT the cause of Bolton’s departure is that Trump has the presidential virus of insisting on leaving a “diplomatic” legacy and is willing (maybe more willing than Bolton) to making a deal, ANY deal (like Obama did with the Mullah’s in Tehran) just to claim such a deal as a “success”, and with Bolton gone MAYBE Trump will make compromises with North Korea and or the Taliban, just to make a sows-ear of a deal and call it a silk purse - for his legacy. I AM NOT SAYING THAT IS WHAT TRUMP WILL DO. I am saying I hope it is NOT what he does.
