Will this U S Administration give full support to Israel?

Former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton says the Obama administration has gone public in recent days with the pressure it has been putting in private on Israel not to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities because behind-the-scenes efforts have been fruitless. Bolton also reiterated to Fox News’ Greta Van Susteren Monday a nuclear Iran would ignite a race in the area for all countries to attain the capability.

“I think that it’s a recognition that the private pressure on Israel by the administration for Israel not to strike is failing — and so they’re going public,” Bolton said. “But I think it has two consequences: One, it’s a terrible signal of weakness to Iran that we’re . . . apparently more concerned about an Israeli strike than we are about an Iranian nuclear weapon.

John Bolton is an Israeli firster who puts the interest of Israel above the US.

Just like all other Neocons.

Who in their right mind would care what he thinks?

The article says nothing even vaguely similar to the thread title.

If Bolton wants a war so bad, tell him to join the IDF. There must be something he qualifies for in their army. Do they have an MOS called Idiotic Sycophant?

Ludicrous! All of the world's peace and economy's stability hinges on the correct handling of this crisis situation.

I didn't know anyone still cared what John "The Angry Walrus" Bolton says about anything.

How is it that to Republicans our country is broke and doesn't have any money except when they want to start a war with a country that poses no threat to us?

Translation: Iran must not do, what Israel and the USA do, or we will attack them and kill them. And claim it was for "defensive" purposes.

Obama doesn't care, he wants an Arab Spring in the USA.

And sometimes the correct way to handle a situation is to walk away.

Screw Iran and Israel. They can blow each other to ashes for all I care. This isn't our fight.

Yes, let's ridicule a man who warns against letting a nation get nuclear weapons whose leader has been quoted saying Death to America.

Great plan you've got there.
