John Bolton - nuke Chicago

I wish John Bolton would run for president - makes Teddy Roosevelt look like a mamas boy. From MS/NBC:
Crowd Laughs at Nuclear Threat to Chicago
Former U.N. ambassador John Bolton, speaking to the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) on Thursday, had the audience in stitches with his comments about nuking Chicago.

Referencing remarks made by Barack Obama on the campaign trail, Bolton claimed the then-candidate said he thought "Iran was a tiny threat."

ThinkProgress.org reported that Bolton tried to up the fear quotient in the room by raising the prospect of an Iranian-sent nuclear attack on an American city."

“It’s [a] tiny [threat] compared to the Soviet Union,” Bolton said to the group, “but is the loss of one American city — pick one at random: Chicago — is that a tiny threat?”

The audience erupted in cheers and laughter at the idea of Obama’s home city being obliterated.
