We didn’t know back then what we know today about many things. Hindsight is 20.20,

Actually, most Freepers knew damn well back then that the whole Kosovo/Serbia charade was a farce and an outrage.

I’m looking at what he’s saying now. Times have changed, and so do people. I like what he’s saying now.

Of course people change . . . especially when you're holding your finger up in the wind to gauge your prospects in a presidential election.

As another poster pointed out on this thread, the guy is looking to run as a "national security" candidate when national security (whatever that's supposed to mean) is likely to be pretty far down on the list of priorities for most voters.

John Bolton has hinted before that he might run for president. I think he’s getting serious. Although I don’t believe that he has any chance of winning the GOP nomination I wouldn’t be sorry to see Bolton get in the race, if only to push his valid national security concerns into the limelight. He is intelligent and articulate, if not necessary a committed conservative or well-versed in electoral politics. However, John Bolton would, no doubt, make a good Secretary of State or National Security Adviser to President Sarah Palin. I suspect that is his real goal.

This country needs an adult in office again.

This country needs an American in office again.

He’ll certainly split the warmonger vote. This guy will never pass an opportunity to raber sabres and provoke conflict, thus further bankrupting American taxpayers.

While I don’t think he could win the primary I agree it is great to get him in the arena discussing the issues. Now...if he does and then Palin enters, between her non-establishment, lean government, energy governor experience and his foreign policy and “knows where the bodies are hidden” knowledge I think we could have a superb team.

I’m laughing already at a Bolton/Biden debate....too much fun...

Sarah Palin’s “non-establishment, lean government, energy governor experience”....

ok, she quit before her term was up.

I like her, but what does that say about her as a candidate for President of the United States? Not sure she has the chops.

She’s more of of a FR rock star, but I’m not sure she’ll run, haven’t seen anything yet. I would like to see her act as a serious candidate.

After Alaska voted to send back Murkowski, I came to the realization that Sarah was too good for them.

I’ll proudly state that my stache is just like his.

I’d vote for the guy over all but Cain.
