GOP 2016 contender John Bolton touts foreign policy expertise on Isis and Iran
John Bolton, ex-Bush administration ambassador to UN, warns of Isis infiltration
into US and says Iran could lead nuclear holocaust against Israel

As Republicans plot to retake the White House in 2016, a crowded and diverse field of contenders is vying for the partys nomination. Among declared and as-yet undeclared hopefuls are three US senators, two former presidential candidates, a handful of governors, a former Silicon Valley CEO and a retired neurosurgeon.
A former ambassador to the United Nations may soon add his name to the list of candidates, citing a lack of experience among rivals on what many Republicans believe will be one of the defining issues of the next election: foreign policy.
John Bolton, who served in the administration of George W Bush, descended upon the South Carolina Freedom Summit on Saturday to test the waters for a 2016 presidential bid. His message: under Barack Obama, a terrorist attack is imminent.

If, by some chance, he made it to the White House, we would have nothing but war, war, endless war. No thanks.
