John Bolton on violating Iran deal: 'We aren't going it alone. We have the support of Israel'

1. In no way reassuring

4. Almost as reassuring as having Malta's endorsement.

Israel's sole concern is the destruction of Iran. Bolton, a PNAC neo-con, is only pushing what they have been determined to do for forty years: wipe out Iran.

5. Agreed

Well said!

2. "You forgot Poland"

3. I didn't realize Israel was part of this agreement.

On a side note, what if Trump decides to pull out of the U.N., or NATO, or any other of the dozens and dozens of international agreements the U.S. is part of? I know Dubya yanked us out of the ABM treaty with Russia without a word from the Senate. Does "advise and consent" only apply when making an agreement and not when breaking it?

If it's this easy to violate an agreement, what's to encourage any country from entering into an agreement with the U.S.? That would be like marrying Donald Trump and expecting him to uphold his marriage vows.

8. I don't think Israel was part of the agreement

They opposed it from the very beginning.

6. The question was about imposing economic sanctions!

What does it matter if Israel joins us in imposing sanctions? Was Israel engaging in extensive trade with Iran before? I don't think so...

7. The support of the terrorist state Israel, makes it so much worse.

9. Bibi has bought himself a servant

It is no accident that he started naming things after trump,including and especially the very station you need to get to to see The Waling Wall. It is one thing to point out the obvious flaws in the PLO, of which there are many, vile as slime from Hell. However, even people who want Israel to be safe cannot accept the way Bibi is putting his country on an aggressive war footing, and using American bodies and tax dollars to do it.

10. Withdraw the $$$ taxpayers

give Israel each year, THEN see how much "support" they would give. The taxpayer money that they spend on weapons. I see ads. on TV begging for donors to help Israel feed people in that country. WHY? What do they do with the aid we send??? Bolton and Cheney must own shares in weapons companies, they are determined to start yet another war.

11. Might just as well have Huckabee on to answer these questions.
