Havent followed this much, but Im guessing its a good thing.

I wasn't too big on this guy, seems every time there is a dust up anywhere in the world he wants to start dropping bombs and mobilizing troops. Our bombs, our troops.

He's a globalist hawk. Good riddance.

I like that Trump isn't afraid to rotate through staff if necessary. If they outlive their usefulness, they're out. If they're a bad fit, out. Its too bad his hands were tied with the Keebler Elf.

Well that was an interesting take. Bolton has been called many things but I don't think he's ever been called "naive."

Nope. Looks like Deep Staters in the State Dept and Treasury did him in to preserve the Iran deal and revenge for fighting their push for the Taliban to visit Camp David.

Bolton was a globalist poster boy.

Boy you got that wrong. He is a hawk, warmonger, and anti-globalist. The Globalists did him in for his anti-Iran stance. Google can be your friend. There are some writers who claim any warmonger is a globalist but in the UN, Bolton did not play well with globalists.

Epitome of a War Monger, but I actually like Bolton. Love it or hate it.

I agree with Rand Paul on this. Bolton was instrumental in starting Iraq war and baseless WMD hysteria.

He did what he was told to do. He obviously isn't doing that anymore. The guy has been in the war cabinet since Lincoln or something.

That never worked as an excuse.

It's still an excuse.

Saddam Hussein had more to do with it than anyone. To ward off Iran and bloat the impression of their Military capabilities, Saddam Hussein bluffed his WMD status. The unreliable analytics used by the Brits and our CIA was largely based on bloated information directly from the Iranian regime. Saddam Hussein played a dangerous gamble. Some say the analysts saw what they wanted to see, others say they relied on info planted by the regime to gain regional credibity but there is no doubt Saddam Hussein had a history of using banned chemical and biological weapons.

Not if you follow logic.

Our evidence of WMD's in Iraq presented to the world was fake. Saddam Hussein categorically denied their presence.
Falsely accusing the guy, killing him and blaming him for what happened takes the term SPIN to a whole new level.

I'm not saying I agree with him. He has been a policy director for more than a few administrations. Early on in any job, you have to listen to your boss. Trump should have been the pinnacle of his career. He did take SPIN to a whole new level, but would there be much difference from a Dem hell bent on regime change?
