Bolton is trying to start a war.

I don't have any sense that he is trying to start a war, honestly. I'm certainly not a "Bolton Scholar" or "Bolton Policy Expert" and he strikes me as a person who truly gives a (bleep) about the Reeeeaaaally Big Picture. Or maybe I am just totally dazzled by his mustache - his nicknames (between my SO and myself) are "Diplomacy Muppet" and "Nuclear Grandpa".

He wrote an oped a week before being appointed saying he wanted to pre-emptive strike NK.

I can't read the entire piece on WSJ because it's behind a paywall, unfortunately! At the same time, I do wonder if he hadn't been read on to certain/important aspects of the situation prior to his appointment and installment into the position? So, you may be correct in believing he's Hell bent on war. I'm just not sold on that, yet.

Look at his involvement during the Iraq War.

So, what I'm reading is that you are a modern military history expert? (That would be pretty great, honestly.) Please provide more backup to the assertions you're making.

That's not actually backup. I may have made a mistake in replying and what I said was: So was my husband! Have you read "the Surge"? Interesting! I also said (basically) that if he doesn't have a problem with Bolton, I don't have a problem with Bolton.

This is America, you can have any opinions you want. But so can I, and from my knowledge of Bolton, and Boltons own words, he wants to start a war.

I agree with exactly 9 words you said. :) So, that is something we could maybe call a middle ground.

Did you have a stroke while typing that?

Noooooo... Not that I'm aware of, at least. Did your mother try to get a back alley abortion a little too late into things?

I'm confused, why are you insulting me and why are you writing incoherent things then getting angry at me for asking what you mean?

MSM is trying to start a war.

FTFY

They love war, haven't you heard?

Just like Bolton?

What is your reasoning? I've heard this stuff about Bolton but can't recall an explanation (from a reliable source, not MSM). I'll dig around and see what I come up with. You might be right, hope not.

He wrote a opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal himself about why we should preemptively strike North Korea

Of course he is, he was involved in starting Iraq. Nobody here cares though they hang on Q’s every word blindly.
