War with Iran was the man's life work. Trump came within 30 minutes of ordering a strike after the drone got shot down.

That's what people like him live for, war that is no more than tokens moving around a game board. He probably thought he would get his wish with dotard at the helm.

Trump was nasty when he fired McMaster. Why would Bolton be treated any better?

Oh yeah, trump has been sweet-talking McMaster for the last year, too. I wonder when trump will ask McMaster to beg for his old job back?
