Default Uh huh

That's why he is a former U.S. Ambassador. I'm sure both Israel and the State Department appreciate his input.

Im not sure even how this story made it to the news wires. Bolton for all purposes is a citizen not an elected offical whom holds sway with the policy makers.

More to this story than meets the eye.

But yea I'm sure the Russians are pleased as well.

I'm beginning to wonder is it already too late for Israel to act without risking a military response from Russia?

If the Iranian's check already cleared I doubt they will care.

All it means is the Iranians will be wanting to buy another reactor and more Air Defenses from Russia.
