Excerpt, Washington Post:
The real reason Rand Paul opposes John Bolton for secretary of stateBy Marc A. Thiessen November 16

Perhaps Paul’s opposition to Bolton may have something to do with this ad that an organization founded by Bolton, the Foundation for American Security and Freedom, ran against Paul during the GOP primaries. The ad shows an American family sitting down for dinner when a nuclear bomb goes off and wipes them out — and then cuts to a video of Paul declaring at a campaign event that “our national security is not threatened by Iran having one nuclear weapon.” The ad concludes with the picture a mushroom cloud rising and the tag line “It only takes one.”

Bolton also had choice words for Paul when they clashed over renewal of the Patriot Act, which Paul claimed was unconstitutional. As Bolton said of Paul in a Fox News interview, “He’s flatly wrong, and I don’t think he’d recognize the framers of the Constitution if he ran into them in the hallway.”
