Ex-national security adviser John Bolton on Wednesday ripped President Trump’s aborted plan to invite the Taliban to Camp David, saying the move sent a “terrible signal” and was “disrespectful” to the victims of 9/11 because the Taliban had harbored al Qaeda.
Bolton, speaking at a private luncheon, also said that negotiations with North Korea and Iran were “doomed to failure” on the president’s watch, two people who were there told Politico.
All the North Koreans and Iranians want is relief from sanctions to support their economies, Bolton told guests at the event hosted by the Gatestone Institute, a conservative think tank.
“He ripped Trump, without using his name, several times,” said one attendee.
Bolton also said more than once that Trump’s failure to respond to the Iranian attack on an American drone earlier this summer set the stage for the Islamic Republic’s aggression in recent months — including Saturday’s large-scale attack on the Saudi’s oil industry.

Bolton may have done some good things but “hawks” who actively avoided their chance to do the combat thing just piss me off. People like Bolton seem too eager to send other people’s kids to war for my liking.
Thank you! :)
‘I am the walrus...’
Shut up, John.
Name a liberal that wants to bomb Iran. Obama kissed the Iranian’s asses and paid them off with $150 billion.

“I confess I had no desire to die in a Southeast Asian rice paddy,” Bolton wrote in his Yale 25th reunion class book.
Which means they will stop trying to attack us.
Leaving Afghanistan will result in the same thing that happened when we left Iraq -- a terrorist group will strengthen, have a base of operation to plot terrorist attacks and they will start targeting Americans and American interests.
Only $100? He is cheap.
Bolton is your typical Ivy League jerkoff.
You are not alone. I took him on face value too. Now I find he has bad history. So obviously President Trump used him for a reason, the reason didn't exist anymore, the job was his to lose, and he lost it. Now he is revealed as an ungrateful POS. Karma.
Ow! That left a mark.
i see.
that makes sense.
i have to admit that working and playing well with (some, at least) others... is difficult for me too
smile smile
i see. thanks for info.
i didnt know that
the “deal of the century” is deadder than a doornail, as the Muslim terrorists have rejected it sixteen times over
and so far we haven’t heard of their being repatriated out of Israel back to their homelands, which is what is needed if there is ever to be a SUCCESSFUL deal
Pres Trump is open and transparent... and sometimes he talks too much for the elite who are used to rhetoric and double talk and/or lies.
Hey Johnny.....YOU....Yes YOU are the Disrespectful one....GO AWAY....NOBODY wants your WARS anymore!
Trump will NEVER divide Jerusalem!
TRUMP is pro military and anti war. I like it.

Absolutely the way to be.
Bush was genuinely pro-military but was so eager for war he was easily misled.
(And Bush’s bigger problem, of course, was hisproMexican-invasion. Which made him fundamentally anti-American. Are all the neocons— who are all pro-war — pro-invasion?)
Define war.
