John Bolton on . . .

I saw this London Times Online article and thought I'd do a little spin-off on my "Lincoln on..." series. However, I decided to just make one post out of it. Enjoy.

John Bolton on...
ON NEGOTIATING
“I don’t do carrots.”

THE UN
“It’s a target-rich environment.”

REVAMPING THE UN
“Reform is not a one-night stand.”

UN HUMAN RIGHTS COUNCIL
“We want a butterfly. We’re not going to put lipstick on a caterpillar and declare it a success.”

THE NEXT UN SECRETARY-GENERAL
“A proletarian.”

THE WORLD ORGANISATION
“There is no such thing as the United Nations.”

THE UN BUREAUCRACY
“If the UN Secretariat building in New York lost ten storeys, it wouldn’t make a bit of difference.”
