General Boykin. A patriot, a Christian, a statesman, and a supermultiplier for exploding liberal heads.

The NSA post is probably one of the only senior positions Bolton could hold in the Trump administration, since it doesn't require Senate confirmation and Rand Paul would probably have several other Republicans in his corner to oppose Bolton.

John McCain and Linda Graham are Bolton's biggest cheerleaders in the U.S. Senate. That's enough to convince me that the guy has no business on Trump's team.

I agree. Not Bolton. He has uses but not at the top. He needs to be reined in.

Paul adds something to trump’s realpolitick

Former CIA Director Leon Panetta, who served as Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman, said Trump needs to recognize that Russia is “an adversary, not a friend.”

I wish someone would ask Panetta why the U.S. has been jointly working with this "adversary" to build, staff and operate the International Space Station for years.

In fact, most of the manned missions to the ISS scheduled for this year are going to have NASA astronauts flying to space under Russian commanders.

And a worthy struggle it is.

Not always in agreement with Rand, but I am on this. Bolton is a McCain fan, among other things.

The fact that Bolton is McCain’s man makes me very nervous. It is past time for an America First realism to replace the globalist nation building agenda that Bolton and McCain have championed.

Policy wise I completely agree. I do think he’d be loyal though and that seems to be in short supply for Trump

Bolton is a New World Order, Globalist...Everything Trump campaigned against...

Iraq went to hell when bush refused to interfere with sharia law being implemented... insisting on freedom of religion and human rights would have saved Iraq and would have turned many mullas around... Jmho

The only thing that would have saved Iraq was a brutal dictator ruling the country with an iron fist.

Wait a minute ... isn't that exactly what Iraq had before the U.S. invasion in 2003?

It's amazing how stupid people can be, and still be considered employable in Washington, D.C.

Thanks!

If the government of Iran had set out in 2002 with a plan to grow their power in the region and diminish the influence of the U.S., they couldn't have come up with a better plan than the one the Bush administration executed in Iraq.

>> Trump pretty much ran against everything Bolton stood for. <<

He ran AGAINST downsizing the UN and freeing America from being dominated by its dictates? That's odd, I don't recall Trump running on an "I love UN controlled globalism"

And yet he has never been very anti Trump, obvious to me there is more to him than the McCain’s of the world. It’s not bad for Trump to hearing differing opinions. The problem arises if after given a differing opinion and Trump doesn’t take it so you go rogue or are you still going to be a full supporter
