Washington -0 Former U.S. diplomat John Bolton alleged Thursday that the Obama administration leaked a story about covert Israeli activity in order to foil potential plans by the country to attack Iran’s nuclear program.

Bolton, who served as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations in the George W. Bush administration, was responding to an article in Foreign Policy magazine that quoted government sources claiming Israel had been granted access to airfields in Azerbaijan — along Iran’s northern border.
The article did not state exactly what the Israelis’ intentions were, but it suggested it could point to a possible strike on Iran.
“I think this leak today is part of the administration’s campaign against an Israeli attack,” Bolton claimed on Fox News.
The White House did not respond to Bolton’s claims Thursday.
Whatdo you expect from Hussein Obama’s Regime. It is the most hostile to Israel ever. I hope that whichever Republican is elected President in November ill select John Bolton as Secretary of State.
If accurate..this is another example of Obama caring more about his re-election than survival of the Jewish people..
This is one man who has the courage of his convictions and calls it like it is. What a pity he did not run for high office. He could have brought dignity to the office, as it should have, and restore the greatness of the United States. AT the same time he could have helped Israel have the security that it needs to sort out all its problems and to be a Jewish homeland int he true sense of the word.
With friends like these……….
I like that picture. Bolton shifting to the right?
You bet he did!! And look at what he has the State Dept. flunkies singing??
A Conservative Republican ex-official of the previous administration criticizing the current Liberal Democratic administration? Wow, what are the odds of that???
I have no idea if he is accurate in any of his charges but only a fool would accept them at face value instead of keeping an open mind to the possibility that his remarks were somewhat (or mostly or entirely) politically motivated.
Bolton was a strong supporter of Israel but that does not make his words emes laamito shel torah, even if we were to grant him personally the presumption of full integrity and credibility.
Political beliefs, leanings and affiliations all too often have lead greater men than the Hon. Ambassador (NO sarcasm intended) to reach illogical conclusions.
On the other had, only a fool, deranged or a hater of the State of Israel (or in the cases of NK, all three) to totally dismiss his warnings.
Sounds like a red herring.
Unless Bolton has some proof, he is just another bitter ex-government employee with an axe to grind.
Bolton has always been a bitter old man. While he is a military hawk, he has always aligned his social, economic and political philosophy with the likes of Dick Cheney, Karl Rove and Don Rumsfeld. That philosophy brought our nation to its financial and geopolitical knees. These clowns crammed their TWICE failed policies down our throats even while Conservative intellectuals like William F. Buckley and David Frum were shouting at the top of their lungs.
Bolton was one of the biggest players in the bankrupting of our nation and the grotesque waste of geopolitical capital.
He belongs in the cesspool of history with the rest of the phonies who called themselves “conservative” like Cheney, Palin, and Bachmann.
Bolton is like an owl that hoots “France France France”. In other words, this guy is hardly an American Patriot.
Please write only kind things about our friends….. like Mr Bolton….We already have too many enemies, why antagonize a friend with silly comments?
Mr. Bolton is deeply aware of political manipulation and he is a knowlegeable insider. He is not a reporter or a journalist. This man makes the news because he is news. His comments are yet still diplomatic, meaning, he is using self control and tact to hold himself back from saying too much.
He was not the chosen as the U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. because he has friends in the U.N. He is our James Bond. Not all top patriots drive around in cars with super gadgets. Only a few are selected to go public.
There is a simple solution to all these woes from Woe-bama – move. (I have already.) And for those of you who choose to stay, don’t make the same mistake as last time by voting for this “never-did-a-real-job-in-his-life” leftist whose promise of change has left you with the change in your pockets. Read the handwriting: Get out while you can. Rebbetzin Jungreis warns: It’s 1939 all over again.
To #18 -Sandman NY- Move to where-EY? Do you mean to tell me that there are no problems there, both internally and externally? Please! I don’t see Rebbetzin Jungreis moving, in spite of her warnings.We’ve heard these same dire warnings for the last 40 odd years or so, namely, that the U.S. economy would collapse, and the Jews would be blamed. Well, it hasn’t happened. In spite of protests against Wall Street, most people know that there are plenty of gentiles who work on Wall Street, and it isn’t controlled by Jews, as extremists would like people to believe. The same holds true for the banking industry, and the insurance, rail, steel, and oil industries.
