John Bolton is the man who orchestrated the WMD lie to gain public support for the invasion of Iraq, leading to the slaughtering of 600,000 children.

John Bolton is now Donald Trump’s National Security Advisor.

Here is some quotes and info on John Bolton.

Let me know what your thoughts are on the chances of troops being withdrawn from war under Trump now.....

“If you want peace, prepare for war” - John Bolton

“I would have attacked Iran 5 or 6 years ago because the earlier you strike, the more damage you do” - John Bolton in 2015.

"John Bolton was by far the most dangerous man we had in the entire eight years of the Bush administration," Richard Painter, the chief White House ethics lawyer under President George W. Bush, tweeted on March 16. "Hiring him as the president's top national security advisor is an invitation to war, perhaps nuclear war."

Quite the statement considering that administration had sickening war hawks like Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney.

"I still think the decision to overthrow Saddam was correct," Bolton told the Washington Examiner in 2015. "I think decisions made after that decision were wrong, although I think the worst decision made after that was the 2011 decision to withdraw US and coalition forces."

And Trumpites think under THIS war-hawk Trump is going to withdraw troops? In what planet are you on when you think that?

"I think obviously this needs to be done in a careful and prudent fashion," Bolton said in 2008 of a strike on Iran. "But I think that the strategic situation now is that if we don't respond, the Iranians will take it as a sign of weakness."

"A strike accompanied by effective public diplomacy could well turn Iran's diverse population against an oppressive regime," Bolton wrote in 2009, advocating a strike on Iran by Israel. "Most of the Arab world's leaders would welcome Israel solving the Iran nuclear problem, although they certainly won't say so publicly and will rhetorically embrace Iran if Israel strikes."

There is no person who advocates domestic surveillance of citizens more than John Bolton. War is the perfect way to justify increased loss of privacy and freedom.
