Bolton tells Israel the U.S. supports a first strike against Iran

Josh Bolton is out there urging the Israelis to attack Iran:

President Bush's former United Nations ambassador John Bolton said the United States would stand behind a pre-emptive strike by Israel against countries developing "WMD facilities."

In his remark, printed in Tuesday's edition of the Israeli daily Yediot Achronot, Bolton directly referenced Iran.

It's one thing for him to speak for himself, but it's another for him to speak as if he still represents the United States. Unfortunately, he's probably right. Bush Co. would probably support Israel if it nuked Iran.
