Zitat des Tages von John Bolton:
There's no such thing as the United Nations. If the U.N. secretary building in New York lost 10 stories, it wouldn't make a bit of difference.
I don't think Hamas will be satisfied simply ruling the Gaza Strip.
When you have a regime that would be happier in the afterlife than in this life, this is not a regime that is subject to classic theories of deterrence.
Politicians, like generals, have a tendency to fight the last war.
I'm not sure history has ended.
Diplomacy is not an end in itself if it does not advance U.S. interests.
Every country has an aspect to it that rubs up people the wrong way.
There is no excuse for waste, fraud, and abuse in the Defense Department budget.
Everybody pursues their national interests. The only one who gets blamed for it is the United States.
Negotiation is not a policy. It's a technique. It's something you use when it's to your advantage, and something that you don't use when it's not to your advantage.
I think some of this fascination with the 'Arab Spring' is just a grand experiment with Israel's survival.
There is no patriotic obligation to help advance the career of a politician who is otherwise pursuing interests that are fundamentally antithetical to your values. That's not the call of patriotism.
North Korea is going to get away with keeping its nuclear weapons.
I don't think I would have to run a campaign that's financed like General Motors.
I've never attended any Tea Party functions.
I don't do carrots.
Well, I'm a libertarian conservative, so I believe in limited government/maximum individual freedom.
The Nobel Peace Prize has become hopelessly politicized. I think it cheapens the prize itself.
We estimate that once Iraq acquires fissile material - whether from a foreign source or by securing the materials to build an indigenous fissile material capability - it could fabricate a nuclear weapon within one year.
I'm obviously aware that people are quite focused on the economy rather than foreign policy issues, but that is something that should and can be altered as people see the nature of the threats around the world that we face.
A lot of people have said to me, 'That's a great idea, running for president. You'll get booked for more speeches. You can write a book.'
There's no doubt that Iran funds and supplies Hamas with weapons.
Well, you could take several stories off the buildings of most U.S. government agencies and we'd all probably be better for it too.
There is no such thing as the United Nations.
I'm a conservative Republican. I have been since I was 15 years old and participated in the 'Goldwater for President' campaign in 1964.
I'm not running around the world looking for ways to create hostilities.
I don't much believe in bumper sticker characterizations of foreign policy.
Just as the Security Council was largely irrelevant to the great struggle of the last half of the twentieth century - freedom against Communism - so too it is largely on the sidelines in our contemporary struggles against international terrorism and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
Reform is not a one-night stand.
I think that Ronald Reagan had it right, being against abortion except in certain limited, defined circumstances.
My priority is to give the United States the kind of influence it should have.
