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.

As if they did not know before, Israel now knows of a certainty that she cannot trust the current White House occupant.

Yep !!Obama and his Administration are quickly running out of options to stop An Israeli attack !!!! Besides launching a strike on Israel
beforehand...Or US could hit Syria ,the blame would be On Israel,hence then the World would stop any Israel strike..Bottom line is Obama will stop any attack on Iran !!!!!!........Things are heating up between America and Israel...........

I would attribute this to stupidity on Obama's part long before I would attribute it to malice. Obama simply isn't smart enough or clever enough to be diabolical.

That said, I think Obama is trying to play "both sides of the fence", and it isn't working.
