John bolton

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've never attended any Tea Party functions.

I've been in the government bureaucracy, I've practiced law, I've done a lot of different things.

I'm not running around the world looking for ways to create hostilities.

I don't think there is any good answer to the question why shouldn't gays and lesbians who want to serve their country be allowed to do it.

I have decided not to run for president.

I am not a neoconservative.

If Iran obtains nuclear weapons, then almost certainly Saudi Arabia will do the same, as will Egypt, Turkey and perhaps others in the region.

I think some of this fascination with the 'Arab Spring' is just a grand experiment with Israel's survival.

I don't think I would have to run a campaign that's financed like General Motors.
