   That's 4 different National Security Advisors Trump has had in less than 3 years and surprisingly that's not a record, yet, Reagan had 6 in 8 years and Eisenhower had 5 (Cutler twice) in 8 years.

@austingirl IMHO no it's not about the Taliban meeting...it's about dealing with the Iranians.

Their foreign minister Zarif and Senator Rand Paul have been quite chummy lately.  Rand even invited him to a meeting July 15th when he was in town for the UN meetings.

The Iranians have been doing a lot of propaganda work against Bolton as well.

Rand holds his daddy's sentiments towards Iran (Blames the U.S.).

I fully expect to see Rand Paul take the lead in the Iran negotiations and Trump soften his rhetoric towards the mad mullahs in the near future.

Dr. Ron Paul still sees the U.S. as the invaders and the provokers and perhaps opening the door for war.

Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Americans may end up wishing that we had gone to war, officially, with Iran before it's all over. 

If we had, it would be over, we would have won and Iran would no longer be a nuclear threat to us and to Israel.   Instead, thanks to the likes of Obama and the Muslime Brotherhood ... the enemy won that battle against the US.... possibly only to go on to win the future war (multiple nuked US cities resulting in our defeat).  Remember, Iran is just another proxy that Russia and China uses against us. 

Bolton may yet end up being maligned and ignored just like General Patton was ignored and dismissed (when he wanted to go after Russia), much to the detriment of the peace and possibly even the survival of the United States.  Time will tell.

Palpable tension between WH & NSC staffs right now.
A pro-Bolton NSC official came to speak with reporters inside the West Wing when Press Secy Stephanie Grisham walked by, gave a look & said: "Oh look, right outside my office" as she walked past.

This conversation took place with a few reporters in the West Wing. As it was happening, press secretary Stephanie Grisham came by and said, “oh, look - right outside my office.” The implication was Grisham disliked the source giving Bolton’s point of view right here.

It almost sounds a bit like "You can't resign because I'm firing you"....at this point, I'd say we have limited information on what this is about.

If Bolton stood on principle about something like allowing the Iranian representatives at Camp David or something, then, that is admirable.

It's been said before "Rubio guides Latin American policy" which he denies, saying only he advises on it.
https://www.miamiherald.com/news/politics-government/article158342954.html

I wouldn't put the cart before the horse at this point, per Rand Paul and any other Senators who have the President's ear but if he goes left on foreign policy, I'm sure that will cause waves.

Did Fired Bolton Derail Taliban Talks?

Was John Bolton fired because he didn't want a peace process to succeed?

By: Mark Angelides |  September 10, 2019
 
National Security Advisor John Bolton has been fired by President Trump, who cited strong disagreements. The news came as a shock to many in the media who likely received their first clue via Trump’s favored delivery method.  He tweeted: “I informed John Bolton last night that his services are no longer needed at the White House. I disagreed strongly with many of his suggestions, as did others in the Administration.”

But what does this mean for America’s national security: Does it signal a less hawkish approach, or is there something more at play?

The Taliban Trauma

Earlier this week, the president announced that his surprise talks with the Taliban on ending the conflict in Afghanistan fell through and that he cancelled the meeting. Many are already suggesting that actions taken by Bolton could have led to the breakdown of communication. Whether it was Bolton’s firm position on Afghanistan and the need for a heightened military presence or some other factor, it’s difficult not to see a connection.

Afghanistan and a workable peace process appear to be something that Trump has been working on through back channels that likely cut Bolton out of the loop. It has been reported that Zalmay Khalilzad, the Special Representative for Afghanistan Reconciliation at the State Department, even went so far as to not allow Bolton to remove a draft agreement from the conference room where they were meeting to discuss possible peace solutions.

This firing this morning appearently caught everyone by surprise.  Bolton was supposed to be at the press conference alongside Pompeo.  He was listed on the media avail announcement.

Ok corbe.  Do your thing.   

Make a poll on this "was Trump right to fire Bolton".   And maybe a poll on who thinks staying in Afghanistan (like Bolton apparently did) is the correct stance.  Me?  I'd rather we get the hell out of there... what good is it doing?   But that's just me and I don't know the "whys" of staying in Afghanistan vs. leaving.  ?

I've always thought John Bolton is a war monger (not just with Iran) and have felt better when he wasn't affiliated with any White House, in any capacity.

The reason people see John Bolton as a warmonger is that ALL the surrender monkeys populating the Department of State keep promulgating that idea.  THEY are the enemy within.
