“Trump’s still my guy!”
>>>>>
So why are you giving ammo to Trump’s enemies?
The fact that Bolton is lying/embellishing the circumstances of his termination shows that it was warranted.
Bolton was a fight and get out quickly?
Haha!
Did Bolton want to get out of Afghanistan after we killed OBL? At this point does he want to get out now.
Answer: No and No
Does Bolton want to leave Iraq?
Answer: No
Does Bolton favor war in Syria?
Answer: Yes
Does Bolton favor war with Iran?
Answer: Yes
Bolton is hardly the hit them hard get out of war quickly guy.
Unless your definition of “quickly” is 100 or more years. Haha!
I dunno, Pompeo seems to be doing great. Some others are too. Maybe the problem is when your applicant pool is largely Neocons and RINO’s, you’re going to have a lot of duds.
Bolton is a patriot who loves this country, but he’s never opposed a military conflict in his life. There’s nothing wrong with having a hawk’s advice, but I’m not interested in Trump becoming a 1 term president by getting us into an unpopular, optional war that the left will parlay into a 4 or 8 year presidential term.
We’re still digging out of Hussein’s presidency for which Bolton was at least partially responsible if we’re being completely honest. Iraq was a huge political and strategic blunder. The Mideast can’t be forcibly democratized - period. These people are several hundred years behind us mentally and culturally, and they were never going to become a western style democracy through force. The arrogance and hubris that got us into it was an enormous miscalculation.
It isn’t ammo Trump’s enemies could use.
Bolton was a horrible, no-good, rotten, stupid choice.
Now, if we could only figure out who appointed him.
I think President Trump smelled something on John’s walrus.
Trump let him have his say, but Trump seems to expect results and change horses when necessary...
