Yup. A neocon hack. I would have been very upset to see Bolton as 1 or 2 at State. He is just itching for war all over the globe. He should be appointed as assistant under-ambassador to an obscure African nation to get him out of the way..
“He should be appointed as assistant under-ambassador to an obscure African nation to get him out of the way...”
I found the ideal African backwater for Bolton - “Cloud Coup-Coup” land, also known as Comoros. Some highlights:
1. Haphazardly scattered across the Indian Ocean, the mysterious, outrageous and enchanting Comoros islands are the kind of place you go to just drop off the planet for a while.
2. Rich in Swahili culture, and devoutly Muslim, the charming inhabitants of Comoros come from a legendary stock of Arab traders, Persian sultans, African slaves and Portuguese pirates.
3. Nicknamed Cloud Coup-Coup land because of their crazy politics, the three independent islands (the fourth, Mayotte, is still a part of France) have experienced almost 20 coups since gaining independence in 1975!
