Meet John Bolton, who Newt Gingrich says he'll name Secretary of State ... if should America be forced to endure the misfortune of a Gingrich presidency:
Some of Bolton's greatest hits:
- In 2002, said Iraq "could fabricate a nuclear weapon within one year" if it obtained fissile material. He also played in a role in the infamous yellowcake forgery.
- He accused Cuba of developing biological weapons with the intent of selling them to Iraq.
- He lied about being investigated for falsifying the case for WMDs in Iraq.
- He blocked Colin Powell and Condoleeza Rice from receiving accurate information about Iran.
- And more recently, he said the U.S. should have launched a unilateral military attack on Libya.
In short, John Bolton's exactly what you'd expect from Newt Gingrich: the continuation of a long line of incompetent and dangerous Republican foreign policy leadership.
