After having criticized Mitt Romney for having former CIA and NSA director Michael Hayden advising him, I feel it is only fair to point out that former US Ambassador to the UN John Bolton is also advising the likely Republican presidential nominee.

General Michael Hayden wrote an oped for CNN on Iran’s nuclear program and the disparity between the US and Israeli assessments of the threat it poses. Hayden served as the head of the NSA and the CIA under Bush 43. He now advises Mitt Romney. In his oped, Hayden backs Obama’s policy of waiting for incontrovertible evidence that…

What can Binyamin Netanyahu or any other Israeli…
