John Bolton no será candidato

The Daily Caller:

During a Tuesday night interview with Greta Van Susteren, former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton ruled out making a presidential run in 2012. Bolton followed that appearance with an exclusive interview with The Daily Caller, in which he said he would refocus his political energies on making foreign policy a larger part of campaign discussions.

“I have decided not to run for president,” Bolton told the Fox News host. “It was a very difficult decision and my view has not changed one iota that we need a much more robust discussion of national security issues as part of this presidential campaign. And I say that not because I have an abstract interest in foreign policy but because the policies that President Obama has been pursuing are extremely harmful to the nation now and into the future. And unless we start talking about them, I don’t think we are not going to be able to fix them with a new president.”

Asked by Van Susteren why he decided not to run, Bolton said it was because he came to the conclusion that he could not win.

“I kept coming to the conclusion that I couldn’t possibly win the nomination and I didn’t like that answer,” he said.
