About John Bolton

By Mike Krempasky on About Bolton

The battle to confirm John Bolton promises to be a seminal moment for conservatives and could set the tone for the rest of the second Bush term. John Bolton is a conservative’s conservative. When Bolton was an intern in the Nixon White House, John Erlichman gathered the interns to tell them they had to work for Nixon’s re-election. The young Bolton responded, “Work for him? Hell, I don’t even know if I’m going to vote for him!”

John Bolton over the past four years has easily been the most-hated figure at the Department of State, but not just because of his stalwart support for President Bush. The undersecretary for arms control got under the Foreign Service’s collar because he knew how to consistently outmaneuver them, despite being outmanned. His entire network of allies at State could be counted on one hand, while in the other corner (and everywhere else) stood the 10,000 members of the Foreign Service. Yet the reason we have the much-praised Proliferation Security Iniative and intercepted the shipment of centrifuges that brought Libya to its knees is simple: John Bolton is a better bureaucrat than most bureaucrats. So not only will he be an effective spokesman against the cesspool that is the UN, he will surely effect some actual reform.
